Get zen! Use your innate intelligence, keen eye, and steely patience to control streams of sand and sculpt virtual landscapes in this innovative action / reflection game designed for the new generation of mobile phones. Gameplay Each level of Mobile Sand is a dynamic landscape made up of sand and walls. The object of the game is to fill the flagged areas with sand while avoiding filling the areas marked with an X. Throughout the game's levels, four devices will help you complete your mission: sand emitters, sand absorbers, sand bombs, and wall bombs. Control is simple: each device labeled with a number can be activated by pressing the corresponding number key on your phone. Who doesn't like playing with sand? With its universal and almost tangible gameplay, Mobile Sand is bringing simplicity and intuition back to the mobile arena. It's the ultimate time killer, proving to be both an addictive and rewarding experience to an exceptional range of players. Technology Mobile Sand is based on the concept of cellular automata, where each "cell" simulates a grain of sand. During the game, thousands of these grains move in real time: a technical challenge that until recently was considered impossible to achieve!
