How it works
  1. The sand is a grid of sticky cells. Each cell has a colour and a bond.
  2. A knife cut weakens the bonds near the new face.
  3. When the support fails, a crack opens and the slab breaks into clumps.
  4. Clumps rejoin the sand when they land, keeping their colours.
  5. Squish, stamp, rake and roll to move cells around.
  6. Every sound is synthesised live in your browser.

Kinetic Sand

This piece draws a live 3D sand simulation, so it needs a browser with WebGPU or WebGL2.

Neither is available here. Try a recent Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox with hardware acceleration switched on, then reload.
