ABOUT THE GAME
Drawing and
While experimenting.
"Sandspiel" has no set victory conditions. Simply select materials from the palette and place them on the canvas as lines or blocks. However, the placed grain does not remain still. It moves according to weight, heat, and surrounding materials, gradually changing the player's picture into a different landscape.
LIVING CANVAS
Mountains, flowers, waterside,
Made of grains.
The official image is lined with sandy slopes, water, and plants. Because each material moves according to different rules, the state of the screen continues to change even after placement due to particle movement and reactions.

Behavior differs depending on the material
The official page provides information on ice, water, sand, lava, fire, oil, plants, fungi, etc. When multiple materials are placed on the same canvas, the rules for each material will be applied at the same time.
Reactions between materials change shape
Sand crumbles, water flows to lower areas, and fire spreads to burning materials. The arranged shape changes depending on the rules for each particle and the surrounding material.
Runs on Rust and WebGL
In the official repository, Rust is converted to WebAssembly and implemented as a browser game that combines WebGL and JavaScript.
From a single grain of sand,
Let's start a small world.
