About the game

Sand Castle is a seaside defence game played one tide at a time. Your castle stands up the beach with four towers, and before each wave you get a few seconds to build. The numbers at the waterline show how hard the wave will hit each lane, and walls soak up that power before it reaches a tower.

The twist is the sand itself. The dark wet band beside the water builds instantly with a tap or a quick drag, but a wet wall only stops one point of power. Dry sand further up has to be packed with a short hold, yet it stops three. The tide also creeps up the beach and washes away whatever stood in its path, so wet walls are fast patches and dry walls are your real investment. Twenty beaches, with stars for whole towers.
