Read full description

A pixel picture hangs above three roads. A lot full of vans waits underneath. Clear the picture and the level is yours. Tap a van and it pulls out the way its arrow points and joins the traffic. As it drives past the picture it rains balls of its own colour, and every pixel of that colour in its line breaks off and goes. The number on the roof is the ammo it carries. When the ammo runs out the van leaves the road and frees its place. So every tap asks two questions at once. Can this van get out of the jam, and does the picture still hold its colour where it is going? Three one way roads run past the picture: one up each side, one across the bottom. Each road holds three vans. A full road refuses you, and nothing brings a van back once it is out. Free them in the wrong order and the picture is still standing when the lot is empty. WHAT IS IN IT A picture to clear in every level, pixel by pixel, colour by colour. Vans that block each other in, so the order you free them is the whole puzzle. Grey vans in the harder levels, which hide their colour until the van in front of them leaves. A light at every road entrance: green for room, amber for one place, red for full. One tap control, one hand, no timer. Think as long as you like. If you like parking jam puzzles, colour matching, and a board that empties in a satisfying way, this is all of that in one screen.

Sandy Trails โ€” Relaxing Sand Art Puzzle Watch beautiful pixel artwork dissolve into flowing sand, then guide it home. Sandy Trails is a calming sand-collection puzzle where every grain falls with real physics and every level ends in a satisfying finish. Draw a line across the artwork to split it into separate sections, send colored buckets along the conveyor, and let each one pull in the sand that matches it. Watch the picture come apart grain by grain in a smooth cascade of motion. How to Play: Tap a bucket to send it onto the conveyor Each bucket collects only its own color of sand Buckets that reach the end park in your slots โ€” tap again to send them back around Keep your slots free: fill them all and the run is over Empty every section to clear the level What Makes It Different: Split the artwork. Your line cuts the picture into multiple sections, and sand flows from each one independently Linked buckets. Connected buckets travel together, so plan which one you tap first Frozen sections. Some areas are locked under ice โ€” keep collecting to break through Mystery buckets. Their color is hidden until they reach the front of the line Limited slots. The real puzzle is deciding what to send and what to hold back Game Features: Satisfying grain-by-grain sand physics Hundreds of handcrafted pixel artworks Multi-section levels with growing complexity Ice blockers, linked buckets, and mystery colors Soothing sounds and smooth, tactile feedback Play one level or a hundred โ€” at your own pace No pressure, no timer Easy to pick up, deeper than it looks. Let the sand flow, clear every section, and enjoy a truly relaxing puzzle experience. Download Sandy Trails and start your journey.
