Description:
A free logic game consisting in placing the grains of sand in the corresponding cups on the board. During the game you can create platforms, appropriately change the colours of the grains,
use teleportation devices or even change gravitation to place the grains in the cups as fast as possible.
The game ends when all cups are filled with grains. Scoring depends on the lenght of the platforms you drew and on the time you spent on a single board.
In the game there were used some of the mechanisms characterising cellular automata and the Falling Sand-like games.
There is also a ranking of players where you can compare your results. The calm and easy game makes you feel relaxed while getting to the next levels of difficulty.

Hai!
I just downloaded it and I really like it!
I only played first few levels yet, but here are some sugestions (if not allready inlcuded later in the game)
a) The game sometimes feels kind of slow, I'd like faster falling sand, or a fast forward function?
b) I'm not sure about the graphics.. I just feels too dark to me (don't get me wrong I actually like black) but it look kind of boring after a while.
different Backgrounds, or an other theme would look great. Maybe like 1st 10 stages sky, 2nd 10 stages cave -.. i'm not sure, but in my mind the graphics and the sound design is always the hardest part in a game
otherwise: nice game, it's one of those "just one more try" games
Realy thanks for review. I work on change design in next update couse is a little borning also for me
This is interesting.
I played this through the first 7 levels.... Nice game...wish I could use it with a stylus tho....
It reminds me of the brainless game for Window Mobile devices that just different colored sand drops and you could do different things to move it around but, it had no end to it.
It's just a hard game to play because you can't see under your finger...
Some player write to me about move line up of finger. Now i implement this function so in update v1.0.5 line is thickness and line is upper finger.
Thanks for positive and helpful comments.

The diamond has a lot of very good features, but sadly the Dpad makes a lot of games very hard to play. I like games, so what I propose is whenever someone finds a game that either uses the Stylus or has controls that can be setup to work well on the diamond, they post it here.
Microquad
Price $14.95
http://www.viex.org/?page=microquad
"Your mission is to race a quad bike around 24 different tracks and to attempt to move your way through the levels which are Baby Cup, Junior Cup, Pro Cup, Master Cup and Expert Cup. Each level include 4 very detailed and varied tracks and you also get the choice of 6 different quad bikes which have different specialities for Road, Off Road and Grip."
You also pick up items around the track like missiles, speed boosts, oil slicks etc which are a lot of fun.

Controls: Use auto acceleration and the Dpad, or use on-screen buttons, both work really well.
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Price: Free
http://esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
"You'll be put in the middle of a thriving landscape of cities. In order to become the transportation tycoon, you'll need to build trains, planes, ships, and automobiles and send them off to make you rich."
This is open source free project, but you need some files from the original game.
Controls: Use the Stylus mainly and a button for right-click.
Snails Reloaded
Price: $14.95
http://www.pdamill.com/prod_sn.shtml
"Our classic, award-winning, action-strategy game for Windows Mobile devices features incredible gameplay coupled with fantastic graphics, audio, and humor!"
Controls: Stylus.
Please add to this post, in the format I've used, and I'll update the first post with other peoples suggestions and my own as I try out more games.
(in case we get onto a second post)
Scummvm
All the classic lucasart games and some older sierra ones can be played with Scummvm for CE/Arm.
At least 3 adventure games are freeware, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Lure of the Temptress.
I've tried Transport Tycoon Deluxe and it's just impossible to play. The text is too small, it's readable not like on the Trinity, but it's so small you'll have a headache after 5 minutes. Also there's a lot of using the stylus at the very edges of the screen and it appears that the Diamond doesn't like that.
Shame...
Age of empires works well with the Diamond price is about 29 Dollars I think.
Grtzzz

heroes game, costs 19$, but if you order a key via the russian language site, you only have to pay 10$
In Fusio Linerider
Astraware Sudoku
BitFire Pocket Sand
All work and run beautifully with the graphics acceleration.

All three of them run superbly on the Raphael as well.

Tetraedge Syberia 2 works just fine.
Hi, I just installed Snails reloaded, and I can not run it. I can get to menu, but i pick "play button" (I dont remember what is the name of that button) nothung happends. Please, any suggestions?
Name: Meteor Mania
Defend your city against a meteor shower in this slick game which seemlessly blends classic arcade games of old with a modern art and sound direction. Utilize four different types of power ups including a forcefield and scatter rockets to rack up a high score.
Destroy multiple meteors with a single missile to get even more points. With a smooth difficulty curve and a newgame+ system this game is high on replay value and low on downtime many arcade games suffer from as players excel at them.
There's never a dull moment in Meteor Mania!
Changelog:
28/12/2010:
Trial gameplay time has been increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Reticule becomes redder as health depletes.

Update coming next week which increases trial gameplay time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Let me know what you think of the game!
A working download link would be great. Thanks.
The link works for me...
Bought it!
Awesome! What do you think of it? Any ideas for improvements, etc?
My thumbs need a break!!! This game is a lot of fun! Some ideas:
I think having levels/waves that will break the pace a bit would be nice.
Also, maybe a change in the background like perhaps shifting from dusk to dawn to day, etc. would be nice.
Perhaps add some meteor variations like "Asteroids" type meteors that break into smaller ones you need to blow up again
Basically, try add elements that will make the gameplay a bit more varied
I love the attention to detail - the graphics are fantastic. Too often games have super gameplay and crap graphics - your game is great on all counts!
Those aren't actually bad ideas, pity my hands are tied until Microsoft approves the current (minor) update I'm trying to push forward :-\ Been there for quite a while now, I think it's because of the Christmas break they're taking so long with app approvals.
a new patch has been released which ups the trial demo time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and adds a new feature where as your cities health is going down the reticules get redder so you don't have to look at the top left of the screen to see your cities health.
looking great!! downloading it!!
Name: Bubble Twist
App Description: Bubble Twist is a fun bubble shooter type game where the middle of the game spins as you shoot bubbles. This makes the game much more fun and challenging because you have to plan ahead for the next shot and take the spin into account. The speed and the direction of the spin depend on the angle of the bubbles that hit the middle. As you clear levels, you gain points for busting bubbles. The game features great graphics, fun music, and global highscores.
The game is available for FREE in the marketplace. Please try it out and give me suggestions and feedback on how to improve the game.

That's a nice game, thanks for posting it here.
I just have one tiny idea which might improve the gameplay.
could you perhaps ad a "ghost bubble" right at the spot where one put our finger down?
I sometimes struggle with the right angle because I miscalculated the size of the actual bubble.
Hey thanks for checking out the game. I understand what you mean by that, but the only problem I see with that suggestion is that your finger would be covering the ghost bubble. Let me know if you know a way I can get around that problem somehow, maybe by displaying a ghost bubble a different way or something. Again, I appreciate the suggestion.
Hey,
first of all I'm sorry, that my response took a while but I was quite busy at uni and had very little time to play around.
Still I played around the game and came up with a possible solution. Perhaps you could ad a pin so that there is something which just points at the spot where the bubble is going to end up.
But to be honest I couldn't think of a way to get that working without haven trouble with the edges of the screen.
All in all I just kept playing and got better (I still didn't get more then 590 points ) and actually think of it as playable right now.
It needs a bit of time to get used to it but in the end it's fine.
Thanks to TheOneBD for pointing it out. Just tried it with my xoom and it works. Enjoy

Overview: Cut the Rope is an award-winning mobile game from ZeptoLab, that generated over 3 million downloads upon its initial release in the App Store, and continues to gain popularity as it makes its way onto Android.
A mysterious package has arrived, and the creature inside has only one request…CANDY! Help get the candy to Om Nom, the adorable monster, in this highly innovative and addictive puzzle game. Combining outstanding physics, devilishly tricky levels, and bright colorful High Definition visuals, Cut the Rope is one of the most original and fun-filled games on the App Store.
I WANT CANDY!
Cut the Rope combines realistic physics with simple, yet accurate and precise touch controls. Cut the ropes by simply swiping your finger across them and collect the stars by touching them with the candy, but it’s not always simple. Think before you slice and be sure to avoid the enemies and obstacles. Every level is different and getting that candy to Om Nom won’t be easy!
IT’S KNOT GONNA BE A BREEZE
In Cut the Rope you don’t just need to feed Om Nom, in order to get maximum points you will also need to collect three golden stars in each stage. Some are easy, some are deviously difficult; you’re going to have to use your head to get them all-but be quick, some of these stars don’t hang around forever! Dodge jagged spikes that smash your candy to bits, and look out for sneaky spiders intent on having Om Nom’s treat all for themselves!
STAR PLAYER
Use a variety of special tools in your effort to get Om Nom his candy. Blow candy around in bubbles using special air pumps, catapult your candy across the screen to get to those hard to reach stars, use hidden ropes and special pulleys in your effort to get every star there is!
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX, INSIDE THE BOX
Easy to learn and intuitive to play, Cut the Rope is hard to put down. As you progress, Om Nom will jump from one box to another, with more levels to get through. With each new box contains new and even more challenging stars and obstacles, can you make it to the end?
Crystal Leaderboards and Achievements: Players can see how they compare to rope cutters throughout the world via online leaderboards and achievements through Crystal!
