I couldn't understand how to play, can you add some instructions or controls?

I found left and right move me and space destroys a block. Is there something else?

Controls are described in the README file.
I will create instructions soon.

Thanks for playing!

Sorry, but I don't get it.
I can move left and right. Up uses a dynamite and destroys a block. You can do that 15 times.. but except for draining some what nothing happens.

If you had left some kind of how-to-play that would have been really usefull :)

Ooops - there is a readme file!

I will play again :)

left/right arrow key - move
up - remove block over you
x - remove a lot of blocks
z - interchange blocks next to you
space - remove block in the place where you are
r - restart level

Ok, I wanted to like this game but couldn't figure out how to play it, then I found the read me file. Ok, this is pretty cool. Level progression didn't feel right for some reason.

Takes about two minutes to figure out what is going on. Reading the README is essential. Then it was fun and I won. I liked how you had to dig up FOR the treasure. Thanks for the game!

Nice concept but the x command seems overpowered for just using 3 points.

Unfortunately the game doesn't start for me :(
It gets stuck after the command line window pops up.

I like the graphics and the challenge this game offers. Couldn't figure out what was the idea in level 4, waterfalling seems random.

Good entry still !

I had a huge problem with understanding the goal of game. Is good that you're trying to making games, next time you do it better and better - although remember, instructions are veeery cool thing ;P Pozdrowienia od rodaka, rozwijaj sie dalej! ;)

It was a bit difficult to figure out what was the goal. Some action like the swap have absolutely no feedback if you swap same squares. Maybe you should make them flash or even better block the swap actions if both block are the same.
I think I passe the 3rd level without realizing it just by pressing a random key... I finally got blocked on the 4th one.

Good take on the classic sand game. Most of them have few or no gameplay but yours seems interesting. You shoudl try to ass bit of audio on this
