## Description

Sand Blocks: Blast Puzzle is a relaxing, Tetris-like sand puzzle game with satisfying sand physics and a beautiful art style. Drop and rotate sand blocks as they fall from the top, forming complete rows at the bottom to clear them and earn points. The more rows you clear, the higher your level becomes. It challenges your spatial skills and reflexes while staying soothing and enjoyable.

As a Chrome extension, it’s designed for quick breaks or longer puzzle sessions. Rotate, move, and fit blocks to keep the stack under control and chase high scores. With engaging visuals and calm gameplay, it's perfect for puzzle lovers and sandcastle fans alike.

## Review summary

Reviewers largely praise the core puzzle concept and the game being free and easy to pick up, but repeatedly criticize intrusive advertising, a drastic rework that removed beloved features, pay-to-progress elements, and technical glitches. The result is a clash between an appealing original idea and a monetized, ad-heavy rebrand that undermines the gameplay, with offline play limited and ongoing performance issues.

### Pros

- Fun, addictive core puzzle mechanic reminiscent of Tetris.
- Free to play with an appealing core concept.
- Easy to learn and quick to play in short sessions.
- Original puzzle loop was highly enjoyable before the changes.

### Cons

- Intrusive, full-screen ads that are hard to exit and occur frequently.
- Major rework of the game (battle mode, bosses) not matching what was advertised; endless mode removed.
- Pay-to-win feel with in-game currency and monetization gating progression.
- Frequent crashes, glitches, and performance issues that block progress.
- Online-only requirement / cannot play offline.
