Description

Castles of Sand is a 1-player action game for the Electron.

The player tries to fill in the outline of a sand castle by picking up blocks of sand from the shore and positioning them over the red castle outline at the bottom of the screen. The player moves in the cardinal directions, and can pick up and drop blocks of sand either above or below the player.

The water at the top of the screen begins to rise, and will start to eat away at the sand. If the water eats through the sand it will move in a large line towards the bottom of the screen. If the player touches water, has their castle destroyed, or runs out of time, it's game over.

The sand worm moves horizontally across the screen, and can steal the player's sand.
