About this game

Sand Loop is a relaxing sand sort puzzle: a finished sand artwork is sitting in front of you, and your job is to collect every grain of it.

Guide the buckets along the conveyor, pour each colour into the one that matches, and let real sand physics do the rest. Take the whole picture apart, colour by colour, until the board is clear. Unwind after a long day, or take one level at a time on the bus.

How to play:
- Tap to release a bucket and send it down the conveyor
- Pour each colour of sand into the bucket that matches
- Work through the artwork until every grain is collected
- Read the loop and time your release as the boards get busier
- Clear the board and enjoy the payoff

Easy to pick up, genuinely tricky by level 100.

Why you'll love it:
The sweet spot between a brain teaser and a stress-relief game. Simple taps, beautiful results, steady progress, plus sand physics and ASMR-style sounds that make every level worth watching.

Game features:
- A sand sort puzzle built on a loop: timing matters, not just matching
- Real sand physics: every grain pours, piles and settles
- Hundreds of handcrafted levels, with more in every update
- Fresh obstacles and twists that keep changing how you solve
- A different sand artwork to take apart in every level
- Soft ASMR-style sand sounds and a calm, colourful art style
- Free to play, with no countdown timer on any level
- Limited-time events to take part in when you feel competitive

It never settles into one trick.

Just as you get comfortable, a level changes the rules on you: a new obstacle, a new way the sand behaves, a new reason the order you pour in suddenly matters. There is a fresh twist every couple of weeks, so the game you are playing in a month is not the one you downloaded.

Hundreds of levels in, it is still finding ways to surprise you.

Take a moment for yourself. Let the sand flow.

Download Sand Loop for free and start sorting.

Who it's for:
Made for anyone who loves colour sorting and pouring puzzles, colouring and paint-by-numbers, or ASMR and oddly satisfying videos. It's a calm brain game for commutes, waiting rooms and winding down before bed: no countdown, no rush, just sand.

Questions players ask:
- Is Sand Loop free? Yes, free to play with optional in-app purchases.
- How many levels are there? Hundreds, with more added in every update.
- Do I need to be good at puzzles? No: the early levels teach you, and no level is timed.

I can't imagine anyone enjoying this game. You need to be precise down to a single pixel of accuracy sometimes, you can't tell exactly where in the conveyor belt your bucket will go and there are multiple unknown buckets on most levels, so you can't plan ahead. I'm an intelligent man, but I just spent 3 hours on a level that comes down to just rng, this is the worst game of this genre I've played.

The game is fun and challenging, but what I don't like is the absence viewing ads for coins or powerups. There are levels that are seemingly impossible (to me at least) without the use of a powerup and the only way to obtain them is real world currency. So you end up stuck at a level unless you want to throw money at the situation. I regret paying for the ad removal before realizing that this was the method of obtaining powerups.

not a bad little game. ads aren't too annoying. basically the same as the string games and a bunch of others, just sort of reskinned. my biggest issue with it is that the physics of the sand don't always calculate well. selecting the exact same sequence of buckets every time will still end up with varying results, meaning levels can be finnicky and not guaranteed to win, which maybe is by design to sell coins.
