Read full descriptionHide full description
Break apart colorful sand figures, follow the arrows, and sort every cube into the matching bucket! Welcome to Sand Away!, a satisfying puzzle game where colorful figures are built entirely from tiny sand cubes — and every cube has a direction. Tap and dissolve the arrowed sand cubes in the correct order, clear the figure piece by piece, and guide the sand into matching colorful buckets. Think ahead, choose the right cubes, and make sure every color finds its place. It starts simple, but new obstacles quickly turn every figure into a clever puzzle. Discover unique obstacles: * Hidden Sand – Clear the sand blocking its path to reveal what’s underneath. * Linked Sand – Connected sand cubes move together, so plan your moves carefully. * Hidden Bucket – Clear the way to reveal the bucket and discover its color. * Ice – Break the required sand cubes to crack through the ice. * Cardboard – Clear the required sand and break through the cardboard barrier. Dissolve satisfying 3D figures, uncover hidden colors, manage your buckets, and find the perfect sequence of moves. With colorful visuals, satisfying sand effects, and increasingly challenging puzzles, Sand Away! is easy to learn and hard to put down. Can you clear every cube and send all the sand away?

Every level hands you something you can't wait to take apart. Each Pop Jam puzzle is a 3D figure built entirely from colored balls: animals, snacks, objects, shapes of every kind. Tap a piece that's free to move and it bursts into exactly 27 balls that tumble down, roll along the conveyor, and hop into the boxes waiting up front. Nine balls fill a box, the box snaps shut and ships out, and the next one slides in. Every piece you clear is worth three full boxes. The catch? A box only takes its own color. Tap pieces in the wrong order and the belt crowds up with balls that have nowhere to go. That's a jam, and a jam ends your run. The smartest moves happen before you touch the screen: check which boxes are open, read the figure, and pick the piece the line is hungry for. Fresh pieces hide underneath the ones you clear, so every tap can change the whole picture. The deeper you go, the trickier it gets: bigger builds, more colors in play, sneakier layering, and those perfect moments when three boxes slam shut in a row. Along the way you'll find: • Figures with personality: animals, snacks, and seasonal surprises to take apart • Real physics on all 27 balls of every piece as they tumble, bounce, and roll • Crunchy, satisfying sound design that makes every packed box land just right • Bite-sized levels that fit a coffee break, with a difficulty curve that sneaks up on you • Helpful boosters for the moments the line gets crowded You'll understand it in one tap. Getting good at it is another story. Keep the line moving, and don't let it jam.
