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.

I 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 :)

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

Very clever use of the resolution! Really cool idea. That initial reaction when you start to see the sand falling is very comical. Really cool!

Fun experience! I was not really sure what happened but it is quite satisfying to play with the sand.

I wish the ball would respawn.

Quite 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 !
