Sandtopia is a falling sand block puzzle. Drop a block into the glass box and it breaks apart into sand. When sand of one colour reaches from the left wall to the right wall, it sweeps away in a single stroke, everything above it collapses, and the chain combo keeps going. One good placement can change the whole screen. โ–  Simple rules Pick one of three cards and drop it where you want. There is no rotation. You only choose the spot. The run ends when the sand touches the red line. Watch an ad to clear the sand at the bottom and keep playing. The higher your score, the more colours appear, and the harder the box gets to read. A shape that reaches only one wall glows to hint the way. โ–  Daily Challenge and rankings Everyone gets the same card order each day. Take up to three runs, keep your best score, and compete inside a group of fifty players who played that same day. Every score is re-simulated on our server from your moves, so the board stays honest. Weekly and country leaderboards too. โ–  Make it yours Change the look with sand skins and glass box themes. Collect them from capsules or buy them directly, and take the season pass for a new set of rewards every month. โ–  Made for - Fans of block puzzle, drop puzzle, colour match and sand blast chain games - Short one-handed sessions of casual brain training - A relaxing, satisfying puzzle that also works offline - Competing with friends on the same daily board No account needed to start.
