It's Tetris, but the arrangement of having the puzzle disappear when the colors are connected, rather than having a horizontal row fill up, was very unique and interesting. That and the behavior of the sand is fun to watch! The exquisite time limit of the combo system and the sound really enhance the feeling of playing. Also, unlike Tetris, you can't move the sand a little when it's on the ground, so it suddenly becomes more difficult when the falling speed gets faster.

fun game! I think its very funny how the line piece is still good, but here you usually want to place it sideways instead of vertical haha
my highscore is 775K/301 lines (on marathon/1/1) without thinking too much about the combos. (but its very fun to pull them off!) I’d be interested to try a version of this with 5 colors
You might consider following the Tetris Guideline controls, it's kind of strange to have up and A rotate clockwise, and no keys bound to rotate counterclockwise. I don't think most people would expect that!
I find myself wishing I could rotate counterclockwise frequently even if it probably makes little difference. That said most tetris rules don't apply here since stuff like wall kicking and pivot rules don't really apply in a sandy environment.

Thanks. I watched your playthrough, glad you like it.
I enjoyed it very much! *meow*
Amazing game, absolutely love the combination of powder and tetris, it might be a nice touch if there was in game music but its already great!
This absolutely rules.
really cool idea

Wow cool! I love the combo system and how intense it gets when the stack raises.

I thought about it but didn't find it necessary to rotate counter-clockwise in this game.
