About the game

Pixel Pour is a calm, colourful puzzle. Every grain falls, piles and slides like real sand, so dunes, peaks and waves form as you pour. Pick a colour, press to pour and drag to move the spout. Wet Sand stacks straight up for towers and sharp edges, and the Scoop digs out mistakes. A live score shows how close you are; earn three stars and the scene comes to life: boats sail, fish leap, volcanoes erupt and lighthouses blaze.
