Alot of fun ... Trying to get better at it ... Not as easy as it looks when it gets harder :)

 

The non gamer's game

by RussBroom on 30-Sep-2010 version 1.0

I absolutely love this game, and yet gaming generally doesn't interest me at all!

I just love the simplicity of it, and it's seriously addictive...

Original, addictive and challenging!

If you like sand and you love slides then youll absolutely love sandslides, I like neither but I love this game, one of the most original games ive played in a while, havent put it down yet, its seriously eating into my bejeweled playing time! Anyway, I would thoroughly recommend this original, challenging and addictive little game to everyone!

Excellent

A literal sandbox game

by Psychopusher on Oct 5, 2010 version 1.0

Sandbox toys have been around for years, but I've never seen one turned into a game before, and Sand Slides does it very well. The concept is pretty straightforward: Draw slides to guide colored sand into its like-colored bucket while preventing it from gettig into other buckets by either routing or trapping it until a path can be cleared. The graphics, animations and effects here are all high quality, the gameplay is effective and intuitive, and the frame rate is buttery smooth, often a problem with sandbox apps. For what it is, it is done very well. I really can't find fault with it. It doesn't have Retina support but it doesn't really need it; how much better can dots look?

Great game, well worth picking up.
