Editor review
Sand Flow is a basic sand-direction arcade with heavy monetisation. Tilt or tap to redirect sand streams into target containers. The format is functional but monetisation undermines it.
What works is the sand-physics. Sand falls and pools with appropriate flow. The visual is satisfying when streams hit targets.
What does not work is the depth. Every level uses the same redirect-sand mechanic. No special sand types, no combination targets, no power-ups.
Tested over one Auckland bus ride before stopping. Touch and mouse input both work.
Where the game tries hardest is the cosmetic shop. Twenty different sand colour themes through grindable currency.
Where I would push back is the monetisation pressure. Ads after every level. Paid skip available. The basic format does not justify the load.
Two-and-a-half stars. Functional basic sand-direction arcade ruined by monetisation. Skip in favour of better arcades on this catalogue.
