Sand Hole: Block Sort Jam is a color sort puzzle where the sand really moves. Drag a colored block until it touches sand of its own color. The block starts pulling the sand in, the pile above it slides and funnels down, and the moment the block hits 100% it pops off the board and frees up the space it was taking. Clear every panel of sand and the level is done. One finger, one gesture. Drag. That is all of it. The puzzle is the board. Blocks cannot pass through each other, so a long shape wedged in a corridor stays wedged until you clear something next to it. Which block you finish first decides what you can reach next. Boards run from open grids to narrow corridors and split chambers, and later levels keep several sand panels going at once. The timer only starts when you make your first move, so read the board for as long as you like before you begin. And the sand behaves like sand. Pull from underneath and it funnels into a V. Pull from the side and the slope slides. A steep edge holds until something gives, then goes all at once. Drain a panel in a different order and it falls apart differently. Three boosters for the tight spots. Hammer splits a stuck block into single cells that fit through any gap. Magnet fills the selected block instantly. Time Freeze stops the clock while everything else keeps running. Drag, pull, pop. Every block at 100%, every panel empty.
