Remember those falling sand physics games that everyone used to play? This is that but wrapped up nicely as a platformer. Story mode is a fun tour through the features of the simulation, and of course there's a standard sandbox mode to mess around with the physics. That and mod support + included editor makes this well worth the $5!

It's like those old pixel sand games, only it has an adventure tied to it. Definitely worth the 5$.
This game is hilarious, fun, and just outright enjoyable. And it's only $5!! It needs way more recognition. I've only scratched the surface and am lookingforward to more. The writing is clever(just look at their buzzword section in the game description for a sample of it) and playing with the elements is a lot of fun. It's a mixture of a puzzle & platformer, and you can dink around in the sandbox mode if you want as well. Pick it up! You won't regret it. I started a series on YouTube if you want to take a glance before buying(but you should just buy it anyway): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gfIWr-QKB0
A very clever combination of platforming and falling sand physics
The campaign is short. I've beaten it in about 90 minutes. Do I still it was worth $5? Definitely. There is also a sandbox mode, which is really great and what most other 'sand' game only contain. There is co-op, but I've never tried that and a 'kid's mode' that is really just random-type effects/sands attached to each key that young'ins can mash and be entertained. I do hope they come out with more campaign, or maybe there is more and I get a 'bad' ending.
Really surprised by this game I didn't expect to have so much fun with it! See my first thoughts / gameplay here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZCwHUUrypQ PS. at the end I think I found a bit of an off map adventure lol
Awesome game!
Short but fun campaign. Secrets! Good humor. Clever use of sand physics in-game. Sandbox needs polishing. Steam Workshop and multiplayer makes it worth more than 5$.
More than worth the $5 just for the short campaign. Let's fill this game with modded levels!
Awesome game! It's funny, it has a good sense of humor, and it's very fun!
