A simple Powder Game clone, with some added visual flair.

While it's not much of a game, you can certainly spend a few minutes on it to take a break by watching the dunes roll.

I used this project to properly learn Bevy, since I had been "meaning to" for quite some time.

Sorry for only having Windows builds, but I don't have access to other OSes at the moment and Bevy does not fully support web yet.

This was pretty fun to play around with, and it's fun seeing the water flow around and the sand fall, but what's the difference between the rock and the sand? They seem the same to me.

Hi @ominusgalaxy44! You have to place rock next to more rock, or at the edges of the screen, otherwise it turns into sand immediately.

This is technically very very impressive, I just don't think it fits as a jam game. I really want to see what this _can_ be. And it did bring up a lot of nostalgic childhood memories.

neat little tech demo, could use some unstable elements to make stuff explode for example, would fit the theme pretty well

A fun little sandbox (ha). I found the water really liked climbing up sand that's being dropped into it and it wouldn't really level out like IRL water would. Still, the graphics were nicer than "every material is a single color", which is a nice touch. There's also a way to make floating rock - draw it from the edges and then erase part of the path! I've been "meaning to" try out Bevy for a while myself...
