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 color into the one that matches, and let real sand physics do the rest. Take the whole picture apart, color by color, until the board is clear. Relax and unwind after a long day, or take one level at a time on the go.

How to play:
- Tap to release a bucket and send it down the conveyor
- Each color of sand gets poured into the bucket that matches
- Work through the artwork until every grain is collected
- Place your buckets strategically to solve the puzzle
- 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, 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, colorful 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 color sorting and pouring puzzles, coloring and paint-by-number, 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 loved this game, until my phone crashed and needed a factory reset. I reinstalled the app, but have completely lost the ability to watch ads for power ups, meaning I need to spend real money to get them. I'm on a super-tight budget, so that can't happen. This means I'm stuck on a level, and can't play anymore. I've tried reinstalling multiple times now, but no luck. Emailed support 4 days ago but no response. Will uninstall if this doesn't get me any help.

Really frustrating that some levels are just impossible without power ups. Definitely feels like you are being pushed to have to spend money to buy things in order to progress through. I'd rather just uninstall and find another game than feel forced to have to spend money. it's really irritating given that 95% of levels are really fun and challenging, and the progress is good. Just a shame they've made it such an obvious money grab

The premise of the game if relatively fun, but the lives system is downright atrocious and blatant money grabbing. 5 lives every 20-30 mins stacking to a max of 5. Remove that and charge a few pound to buy the game. It already has in app purchases for tools, most games like this do, but the lives system is at worst trying to cash cow you for a game worth at most £4, and at best a system that penalises the bad players through monetization.
