Our Expert Score

71/100

Sand Crush is a mesmerizing physics puzzle game that feels like a cross between 'Where's My Water?' and a traditional match-3. The main goal is to clear paths through layers of colorful sand to reach a goal. The way the sand flows and mixes is visually stunning and quite soothing to watch. It’s a very 'ASMR' experience; the sounds of the sand shifting and the blocks crushing are top-tier.

As you reach the higher levels, the game introduces 'crushing' mechanics where you have to use heavy objects to compress sand or clear obstacles. It requires a decent amount of foresight—one wrong dig can lead to the sand getting stuck in a corner, forcing a restart. It's not the most difficult puzzle game on the market, but its aesthetic appeal and the tactile nature of the sand make it a standout for casual play.

English is not my first language so I’m sorry if you don’t understand what I’m saying

I love the game. It was perfect. Literally I love doing it , I feel peace. It gives you many colors and it makes your brain work. but they made update which makes me a little bit sad because the original was way beautiful the game is still the same, but I love the original before the update.

It’s ok and then it’s ruined by ads

First thing to say the game forces you to “take a break” in the middle of playing so they can send you an ad. It’s obvious the game will choose to work against you. Giving your a wave of one color then denying the color for several turns as the tension from the game heats up. It’s not a bad idea and would be a welcome difficulty spike if it wasn’t for the obvious fact that it’s just cause it’s time to send you an ad and they don’t want to force you to “take a break” so after an invisible timer goes off it turns your luck down so that it can potentially push a loss into their ad break. I don’t mind ads but I hate bad games and when you combine them you end up with a project like this.

Game forces you to lose, and annoying ads

This game intentionally keeps giving you colors that make it so ypu can't clear anythting. Have red yellow and blue down? You'll get green purple and orange. I actually came up with a strategy to clear every single block the instant it came up, regardless of color beneath it.... and then there started to be two-color blocks, and you never get two in a row with colors that would let you clear. And the ads in this game are particularly eggregious, and that's really saying something. Other games have ads skippable after 15-30 seconds, but not this game. Have fun watching a blue progress bar for over a minute with no little X appearing in the corner to spare you from the rest of the ad!

No Challenge

Its a really cool concept but right now its wayy too easy. Normally in tetris it keeps getting faster but in this game it just stays the same which makes it just as easy every time. Because of the way the physics works it only takes 2 maybe 3 pieces to create a line, and with no speed increases youll quickly realize the game just expects you to keep going forever purely for the sake of number go up. It was fun for like 20 mins. Also the ads are incredibly egregious, some of the worst Ive seen on an app.

This game is addicting but those ads…

I am not normally a guy to write a review but this game is perfect for popping on my tv and just playing. I literally only stop when I get really tired of the ads. If you guys were to make an option to pay to not have ads I would 100% pay for it. Please implement that into the game.

Atrocious Amount of Ads
Mon Aug 11 2025 Ronasian

Pretty much the main issue of the game. Any decent game hits you with an ad when you finish a round. Here, you get ads mid round multiple times. The ads aren’t short either. It’s to the point where it makes me stop playing all together.m before i can get 5 minutes of gameplay. Well deserved 1 star considering there’s another app called Sand Blast and it’s way better. Uninstall sand crush and install sand blast. This game is basically a straight up bootleg. It’s basically Temu Sand Blast. The devs of this game should honestly be ashamed of themselves.

Fun but I kept getting ads shilling scam apps
Thu Aug 28 2025 ang3lcak3z

I didn’t let the app track my data for ad purposes. Ads came up every 2-3 minutes and every ad was for one of those “play to earn” apps where you have to pay it to “make money”. Really annoying. Uninstalled immediately when I realized I was getting a ton of ads and they were all the same ad for the same thing and all lasted 1.5 minutes or more

Too many ads
Tue Aug 05 2025 Cool guy2001

When you are in the middle of a round it just constantly brings up ads every 2-3 minutes. Very annoying. I understand having ads but like wait until the round it over. It messes up the gameplay too. When you’re about to place the sand blocks right in the middle of it there will be a ad and you don’t know if it got placed in the correct spot or not. The game is overall good, but the ads ruin it. I played one round and deleted it.
