Sandtrix

🎮 How to Play Sandtrix

🧩 Game Modes

♾️ Endless Mode

This is the classic survival mode where your goal is to keep clearing sand for as long as possible. The speed gradually increases, making it harder to manage falling shapes. The game ends once the sand stacks up and touches the top of the screen.

⏱️ High Score Mode

In this mode, your objective is to earn the highest score within a strict 3-minute limit. The gameplay mechanics remain the same, but you must think and act quickly to maximize your points before time runs out.

🧱 Clear 40 Mode

Here, your mission is simple — remove exactly 40 rows to win. There’s no timer, so you can focus entirely on accuracy and strategy. However, if the sand reaches the top, you lose.

⭐ Points and Combos

• 🔹 Each cleared pixel gives you 1 point

• 🔥 Clear rows continuously to build combo multipliers up to 10×

• ⚡ Faster and smarter clearing leads to higher scores

🎚️ Difficulty Levels

🟢 Easy Mode

You get full space to place shapes, and the falling speed is manageable. This mode is perfect for beginners.

🟡 Medium Mode

The game becomes faster, and your placement area becomes more restricted. This adds extra challenge and requires quicker decisions.

🔴 Hard Mode

This is the most difficult setting. Speed is much higher, and space is limited. Only experienced players should attempt this level after mastering the basics.
