rivkaCheck out this bizarrely hypnotic and addictive falling sand game/puzzle/Zen garden.
It's hard to describe what makes it so cool. Just start building walls and channels, setting things on fire, growing things, and mixing things... and then tell me whether or not you can stop.
Helpful hints: Control panel is at the bottom. The falling stuff is, from left to right: sand, water, salt, oil. The weird rolling thing is the "namekuji;" you can make it stop moving or vanish it entirely. Water makes it grow and salt makes it dry up. Plants only grow when they are watered. "Cera" is wax; it burns. Nothing piles up at the bottom of the screen unless you build a floor. Watch out for the "???" control; it's a doozy.
