SDL2Sand is another implementation of the now-classic Falling Sand Game, old-school and minimalistic. The game simulates different particles (such as sand, water, oil or fire) interacting with each other. Freedom is given to the player to experiment with different materials in a sandbox environment.
SDL2Sand is based on sdlsand by T.R. Sidor and K. Jensen. While, for now, the core gameplay stayed exactly the same, the game was ported to SDL2 and optimized to run on PlayStation Vita with better looks and performances.
User guide
Tap to select a brush type from the panel on the bottom part of the screen or choose one using D-Pad left and right.
Then draw using either left analog and cross or touchscreen. Use circle instead of cross to erase.
Use the triangle button to perform more accurate cursor movements.
The particles falling from the top of the screen can be disabled at any moment by pressing square, or decreased/increased with left or right shoulder buttons.
