Maybe force the player to leave the bottom by opening his rect when touching it could be a neat trick, makes you try to hover as close to the bottom without touching it."},{"author_name":"Perjoka","author_uid":"38892","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:22pm","epoch":1408987020,"text":"interesting concept, had fun playing it."},{"author_name":"jpverkamp","author_uid":"19702","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:23pm","epoch":1408987080,"text":"@Rialgar: I thought about that, having sand just drain out if you hit the bottom.

The particle effects where you can see every grain of sand are really nice.\r<br\/>The gameplay is a bit confusing though. You say &quot;colliding with other players will steal their sand&quot;. But if you're colliding with them, they're colliding with you... So it's not clear to me who will steal from whom, even after playing a couple of times. I played with a friend, she hid in in the bottom right corner, and I couldn't manage to steal her sand."},{"author_name":"Shivur","author_uid":"36762","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 3:15am","epoch":1409454600,"text":"Very cool!"},{"author_name":"LandoSystems","author_uid":"18212","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 7:59pm","epoch":1409514840,"text":"That was a really neat game... cool idea!

Novel idea.  Won first game, I picked one of each of the AIs to play against.  Interesting particulate graphics.  Like the feel of the movement and the stealing of sand.  Shame no sound.
