About

Sandy Snakes

Features
Read full description

Drag your snakes, drain the sand, and clear the board! Trays packed with colored sand fill the grid, and hungry snakes are coiled between them. Drag a snake by any part of its body, thread it through the gaps, and bring its head to sand of its own color — it swallows the grains on contact. Every route you pick decides whether the board empties or clogs. What's inside: Grid puzzle with real space pressure: Every cell matters. Snakes are solid to each other, so the room you leave yourself is the puzzle. Drag, thread, slurp: Grab any segment and pull. The whole snake follows your finger, head first, through gaps barely wide enough. Sand that falls: Empty a column and the sand above it pours down. What was out of reach a second ago is suddenly right under your head. Match your colors: Each snake only eats its own color, and only carries enough hunger for its share. Waste it and the board can't be cleared.Beat the clock: The timer is always running. Plan fast, drag faster. Explore new worlds: Clear stages, unlock new layouts, and face boards that get tighter with every level. Easy to learn, tough to master: One finger, one rule — then find out how much puzzle fits in a single grid. Think you can find the path that empties the whole board?
