Description
From the AppStore page
Manipulate sand, water, oil, fire, and more with Falling Sands. This falling sand simulation is a great way to relax. With much more features than other types of sand games, Falling Sands calculates the physics down to the particle.
For example you can turn water into steam when you brush fire across it with a touch of a finger. Didn't like the turn out? Easy, just give things a shake and the canvas will erase with a clean slate.
You can even control the direction of the sand with the movement of your iPhone or iPod Touch!
Enjoy over 40 elements, actions, and options to play with!
This application is designed to be very easy to pick up and use. Just swipe your finger across the screen and you will see the magic unfold.
I am working hard on Falling Sands and looking forward to feedback to build upon. And of course, updates to Falling Sands are available for free to those who purchase it.
