I love that this game is either very zen as you watch your work crumble, or frantic as you try to replace it! Very cute.

A perfect chill relaxation after a long 72 hours Jamming. I love building sandcastle and I like how they slowly melt away with the waves. Best place to build sandcastles are down at the water
Really enjoyed the chill and easy gameplay :smile:
Very Relaxing. Enjoyed my time.
This was really nice and relaxing! I had a lot of fun making castles and flower designs in the sand. I did wish I could clean up all my sticks, but great job!
I definitely loved the touch of the waves breaking down the sandcastles the most. I wish there was a way to erase or break down some of the stuff you built since you can't build everything on top of each other.
Very calm and relaxing game :) i wish i could look around the beach while building
That was so satisfying! Just really pleasant. I like that you can build a wall up front to keep everything in back protected, and that you can occasionally repair it when the big waves come. Really makes it feel like actually building sand castles! I wish you could stack things to build upwards and could dig moats, too. Making art knowing it's going to get destroyed is kind of freeing.
How cool was that :O neat idea, i really enjoyed every (10) second!!! really satisfying concept, great work !!!
i wish there were more forms and frames to get deeper into the professional castle building shit :)
An interesting take on the theme :) Nice and relaxing. It would be cool if you could place things on top of other things to create more complex castles.
A game for the meditation. I feel relaxed and resting.
This reminded me of an incredibly obscure game for windows95, Scholastic's The Magic School Bus Explores the Ocean , that i used to play when i was 7 lol, good job :D
Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
It seems to me that your idea of sand castles is more suitable not for a fixed location of objects, but for a more free one. Even if the objects intersect unrealistically, this gives more creative freedom. At the same time, I like the opportunity to put one object on top of another, which results in a "two floors".

I like that the wand seems to have been brought by the sea, it needs to be picked up and dragged to the castle. Very beautiful cover. In game art, a similar visual style would look great (hand-drawn textures, for example).
Relaxing little game, nice way to start the day with calm. As mentionned before a little bit more of creative freedom for placing sandcastles would be really cool :) I also expected the sandcastles to block the waves in a way, and trying to protect my beloved castle from the sea, just like when I was a little boy on the beach. That would have added a more 'fun' dimension to that game but I get it as it was maybe not your goal with this entry :)
Good job!
Good relax game!
Very relaxing sandbox game (kind of a literal sandbox here)
a really nice and relaxig game^^
Very relaxing!
Awesome soundtrack and atmosphere!
A very relaxing little game. Well done.
A relaxing game to play after a hard days work, I especially like the background sounds and music
I don't know what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised when I played it. Soothing to the max, something you can sink some time into if you're looking to chill. Very well done, I love the way your approached the theme!
So lovely! This game feels like the nicest complete experience. I love it!
➕ cool use of waves in the theme
➕ unexpected genre for jam
➕ very addictive
➖ sticks can not be removed
➖ a bit dark for me
I’ll note that I made a game with a similar theme a couple of years ago, so + additional respect for this). Here is the link https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/45/sandsea
