About

Sand Unblock

Features
Read full description

Every level starts as a picture made of sand. One move later, it is a waterfall. Sand Unblock is a sliding-block puzzle with real falling sand. A drawing made of thousands of coloured grains rests on a wall of blocks. Drag the blocks out of the way, open a clear path, and the whole picture pours down through a steel funnel that sorts every grain by colour into its own glass bottle. Fill the bottles to the last grain and the level is yours. HOW IT PLAYS - Drag any block in any direction. Blocks never overlap and never leave the board. - Sand cannot pass through a block, and it never rests on one: it slides to the nearest edge and falls. - Open a full column from top to bottom and the whole picture rushes through at once. - The funnel sorts the grains by colour. One bottle per colour, filled perfectly flat. - A level is won only when 100% of the sand is bottled. 50 LEVELS, 50 PICTURES Flags, a rainbow, a heart, a rocket, a smiley, a goldfish: each level has its own sand painting, and each one ends up neatly sorted into bottles. The first levels take a single move. Later boards pack up to ten blocks and ask for a little planning, but never more than a handful of moves. It is a game for unwinding, not for getting stuck. NO STRINGS - No ads. Not one. - No purchases, nothing locked behind a paywall. - No account, no sign-in, no e-mail. - Plays offline, on the underground, on a plane, in a tunnel. Made for one hand and short sittings. Every level fits in a minute or two, and watching the sand fall is half the fun.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sand Unblock at none against Paws Home's 1. Sand Unblock also leads on ads (none vs shown). Paws Home's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
