Our take on Sandmade
Its untimed, score-free format keeps attention on spatial reasoning, but gives up the pressure and performance targets found in timed or score-based puzzle games. Replay adds fresh challenges to completed levels, while the experience remains centered on solving individual puzzles.
What is Sandmade?
Sandmade is a spatial puzzle game about deciding whether structures made from sand shapes fit together.
It begins with 10 introductory levels, followed by 90 puzzles that increase in difficulty. The game uses handcrafted visuals and difficulty for each level, and completing a level lets players return for a new challenge.
