I've looked at the picture caps, and I am still not entirely sure how to play. I am fascinated by the falling sand, but I don't think I am actually playing it right. Where does the plant go? Should the sun thing be at the top? Can someone help me?!?

Thanks.

The "sun thing" is actually a sand monster, I think. If you put water on it, it will grow and get angry and eat your design. If you do accidently get water on it, putting salt on it will kill him. You can also turn him off by clicking on his name in the "tool bar".

Yellow is sand, blue is water, white is salt and pink is oil - at first I thought each of them was falling sand, but I get it now! The plant will only grow in the blue water - so plant it there.

HTH a little!

Also, if you make your pen size bigger (by clicking on "PEN-size") you can make some cool polka-dot "walls" - that creates a cool effect!

That is a big help. Thank you so much! Off to get addicted to yet another game.
