英訳です。 【A New Puzzle Game That Hits All the Right Spots】 A falling-block game where you control blocks that turn into sand when they land, and line up matching colors from left to right. 【Main Rules】 Blocks turn into sand when they land on the ground or on existing sand. When sand of the same color connects from the left edge to the right edge, it gets cleared and you earn points. As your score increases, your level goes up and blocks fall faster. Game over if the sand piles up to the red dotted line at the top of the screen. 【Key Features】 Choose between two control schemes, with fine-tuned sensitivity adjustments. Difficulty (number of block colors) can be set to match your skill level. The width of the play area is adjustable. We want to create a game where the "feel" in the player's hands truly matters, so we'd really appreciate your feedback!
