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?
