Falling Sand Game

I found this awesome java applet game ages ago but recently [link=http://www.stumbleupon.com/]StumbledUpon[/link] it again and remembered how addictive it is. It’s quite simple… It’s called the [link=http://chir.ag/stuff/sand/]Falling Sand Game[/link] and starts with 4 different substances falling from the top of the screen and a thing I like to called the squidgy. The four substances are Sand, Water, Salt and Oil.

Sand doesn’t do much as far as I can tell except block the squidgy.
Water makes plant and the squidgy grow.
Salt makes squidgy shrink/die.
Oil burns :D

There are also extra substances/materials that you can make in addition to these original substances.

Cera (which is wax), also burns but very slowly.
Wall, well it’s obvious what this does.
Plant, this behaves as mentioned above, also burns.
Spout generates water.
Fire burns stuff as mentioned above :D
Eraser, also obvious what this does.
And the mysterious ??? what just does crazy stuff.

The falling substances can be collected and redirected using walls and other materials. It’s just totally random and very addictive to play with, absolutely no real aim to the game… but I like collecting lots of salt then dumping it on the squidgy and watch it explode repeatedly :D [link=http://chir.ag/stuff/sand/]Go check it out![/link]
