Read full description

A safe hangs from a balloon. Between it and the ground: sand. Scrape the sand away with your finger and the balloon climbs, dragging the safe after it. Scrape too much, in the wrong place, and it drifts into a spike โ€” and the balloon that was carrying everything is gone in an instant. Every level is the same question asked a little harder: how little can you dig? DIG WITH INTENT The sand is not a background. It pens the balloon in, and every grain you remove changes where it can go and what the safe swinging beneath it will touch on the way. Carve a narrow channel and the pair threads it. Carve carelessly and you have opened a path straight into the spikes. FORTY LEVELS, TWO WORLDS Sunlit beaches to start. Then the ground turns to volcanic rock, lava runs where you dig, and the objects stop being obstacles and start being tools โ€” stones that roll, barrels that go off, magnets that pull and push, geysers that lift. PATIENT OR FAST โ€” PICK ONE Three stars for barely disturbing the sand, and three stars for being out inside ten seconds. The level scores you on whichever you did better, so the careful player and the reckless one are chasing the same prize down different roads. BOOSTS, WHEN A LEVEL WINS Teleport moves the safe and its balloon somewhere better, and refuses any landing that would pop it. Shield wraps the balloon for five seconds so one mistake is not the end of the run. SAFES AND BALLOONS TO COLLECT Skins earned with the stars and coins you dig out โ€” a fingerprint safe that glitches like a broken screen, a tentacled one that drips, and more waiting under the sand. Free to play. Ads can be removed once and for good.
