I love the sound of the stones rattling together for some reason. It's a super nice game with a cool atmosphere.

Square the SquaresReally, really good. Took me some minutes until I could stop playing :D!
Just some minor suggestions for you:
- The score seems to depend on the stones you get. Big stone at the beginning => higher score. This just pushes the score limitation more in the direction of luck. Would it be boring to use the same stones all the time? I know, in that case you must do the same thing every time but the it is not that much about luck.
- I clicked a stone when I saw another one which fits better. The clicked stone then fell down and I lost. Is that planned?
I think the randomness is important to keeping the gameplay engaging. The stones could probably do with being more consistently sized, however I've actually got my best scores when I've got consistenly flat stones - they're a lot easier to build on top of than the larger rounder ones.
If I'd had the time, I would have made it possible to place the stones back in the sand if you change your mind mid-placement.
Simple, fun, and addicting! I love the sounds the pebbles make when the touch. The 5 second countdown for your score is genius, preventing quick stacking at the end. I wish you could call it quits at any point to save your score without having to lose.
