Great game—too bad it's not for this jam.

I think you didn't see the jam themed item of candles in my entry. Candles are in fact in the game (check 5th screenshot), they appear a few levels in. Try it and you'll see!

Pushing sand, funny. After building a nice sand castle on the beach during the day, push sand into holes at night ;-)

Compact idea, small game, levels - complete. Well done :-)

Developer

This game turned out really cool! It could easily fit on a site like Coolmath Games.

I was thinking of maybe putting it on poki if I worked on it some more so I'm glad others think it would fit on sites like it!

I thought this was really fun and would make a great full on puzzle game! Maybe later down the road, letting people make their own levels would be a cool idea, like a sandbox - all puns intended. 

Developer

sandbox mode is a good idea, maybe even with different materials

Thank you the nice words!

This was a really great take on Sokoban you should turn this one into a phone game I think it would be successful.

Developer

I'm glad you think so!

Normally I get easily frustrated by puzzle games, but this one is very soothing.

Developer

thank you!

after a few more levels the sand started looking strangely tasty. are we sure it's not secretly cake?

Developer

that must be the games sandlicious effects

if you color the sand red in the settings it looks like red velvet cake

Love this! Really unique idea and plays well. 

Could also be a good simulation game. Like a construction worker who needs to clean up the sand after the shift. Just keep grinding those lines away. 
It can probably be a real hit with ADHD/OCD people with a slightly different design

thanks! And yes I agree that it could also works as an asmr/ sandbox game

I’ll play yours soon, if you could leave a rating on mine I’d appreciate it (:
