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?

Turn a hanging voxel mosaic into perfectly packed boxes. Drag, catch, and clear every cube before the timer hits zero. Choose carefully—each full box unlocks the ones trapped behind it. In Voxel Block Drop, hold an available box and drag it against the mosaic. Voxels break free, bounce into place, and snap into neat 3D slots. Slide beneath another section to keep the flow going, or release the box to rethink your move. Plan the right order as box capacities change and blocked paths grow deeper. Small boxes open routes quickly, while large boxes can drain thick sections of the mosaic. Fill every box to 100% and leave no voxel behind. Special obstacles transform each puzzle. Clear nearby voxels to break locked clusters, dig toward clock voxels for extra seconds, and save dense sections for capacity-locked boxes that only accept a powerful rush. FEATURES • Simple hold-and-drag controls • Flowing voxel physics with bounces and magnetic slotting • Capacity-based box puzzles • Blocked boxes that open as you progress • Locked voxel clusters and timed challenges • Clock voxels that add precious seconds • Capacity locks that demand large, continuous drops • Clear fill percentages and remaining-volume tracking • Responsive animations and haptic feedback Read the mosaic, choose your route, and make every drop count.
