The game was fun and had a few runs but was hard to predict the interaction between the ball and the sand at times. There is at times a point of no return where you have little sand to return and the wave becomes overwhelming. Solid entry and new and interesting take on an old genre.

This is a really cool twist on breakout! It's an easy game to play repeatedly. Great idea!

A Girl Has No NameI love this. The way start of the game where the regular Breakout game melts away into the rainbow nightmare is just brilliant. Really cool power-ups. It was fun trying to work out a effective strategy seeing as the game is so different to a standard Breakout game. The music on the title screen really set the mood too. Awesome work :)

TetrafabrikaFun Idea, really subverts your expectations at the beginning when the ball hits the brick and the sand drops the first time, brilliant!

Knight-a-gotchiFun experience! I was not really sure what happened but it is quite satisfying to play with the sand.
I wish the ball would respawn.

VoidvasionQuite a fun take on the idea, I'm always fan of particles or shader tricks or anything like that that's not just some sprites, so kudos to your game !
