Community Insight:
We kid you not, when we were 3-5/6 years old, we used to draw ashes we didnt know what to call it when our brother asked what we were drawing. We would make the ashes (scribbles) go down the paper and then draw a curved line to make it change directions, and we would mess around and make waterfalls and try to get the ashes to a certain point on the paper by making it go down the line like a slide. Now that you have brought this exact game we used to play on a piece of paper to life we think thats amazing! This app is a truly awesome idea that we could never get bored of! If we had this game as a kid Id play every single day and be addicted. The main reason we wanted to review was because we saw some 1 star reviews, but thats just because if you look at it that way its just sand falling down, but if you mess around youll discover how truly fun it is! This is the type of game few people understand, but once you do its sooo fun!!! Thank you for making this game, it is the best idea ever! Btw while playing we realized some issues, no ads: Id be fine with watching an ad to see this grow! Also reset button doesnt work. After we finish level 1 Im stuck on the same screen and it just lets us draw. Some pretty big issues that should be easily fixable. Im gonna take one star off which shouldnt matter much but as soon as its fixed our review will be 5 again. Please fix the You May Not Pass Lvl 1 issue and ill be back playing all the time. Thank you very much and we think your game has great potential, its a one of a kind game and it just needs a small update. We really do believe your game will blow in 4-5 star ratings and lots of people will enjoy playing if you update this. Time is passing and people are checking out this game every day which is super good! So we hope you can get the update started soon, we believe in you! Honestly! Sincerely, your biggest supporter GAUP101.
We liked it a lot, played it from start to finish in one sitting. It would be cool to have more levels with different bucket placjrnts.
There is no variation. Every next level just adds one more bucket to fill and that's it. Boring. Also, you cannot play individual levels. You always start where you have left the game, no level selection menu! Maybe it is meant as a kids game?? Game Center removed?? Why??? That was the only reason to play it.
Unlike sugar sugar this game is clearly boring. All the levels are is just adding more rows of buckets when in sugar sugar there are many different places of we're the cups go in levels! This is so boring.
Horrible. The graphics could not be worse. Slow and boring.
This game is terrible it took not that long to download which is good but it is the slowest game EVER.
Just like on the website we love hooda math LOL GET THIS.
This game is a direct copy of Sand Slides and we like the music and background of Sand Slides better.
We found this app to be simple, but very lacking in both programming and feel. It feels like more of an alpha build of a game than a full version of a fully built and stable app. We were only able to play the first level. This was due to the fact that the level progressing button didn't work. Not to mention the music sounds midi-ish. Also there is no apparent challenge. You just draw a slanted line, and you wait. We know this app will be better with time.
What is the challenge, we don't get it. This game has been around for over a year, And only fool's like ourselves have purchased this app. It's Probably one of the worse apps of all time. We are actually embarrassed. That we paid for this app.
You build an app for the HD Retina display on an iPad and you use 8-bit pixel resolution? No stars.
This game is lame and is very boring.
You got to plan out in advance – because there's only a limited amount of sand, and all the buckets need to get filled.
We've been playing this game for two days straight. Very addicting and fun game.
Just downloaded! Our 7 year old loves it…and our 4 year old cant stop playing, either! Okay, okay…we played, too! It's fun.
This game has a simple concept but gets harder with each level. We can't stop playing.
