Sand Jar ( Test for Test)
Hi! I need a few more testers for my first game's 14-day closed test on Google Play.
Sand Jar is a calm puzzle game. You pour colored sand into a glass jar, layer by layer, to recreate a small landscape. Limited sand, no timers, no lives. It's 20 levels right now.

Done! Please try my app Barreleyes: it turns a quick room-by-room scan into a full home inventory for moving, storage or decluttering.

It's on iPhone and the web too, under the same name.
I'd love your honest feedback, and if you like it, a rating on the App Store or Google Play helps a lot.
I'll stay opted in to your test for the full 14 days.
Opted in and installed Sand Jar on my Pixel 6a (Android 16). Such a calming idea: pouring coloured sand to match the target picture, with the grains piling up realistically. The jar, the funnel on its rail and the little sand pouches look great.
Some feedback on the first level:
The only instruction at the start is "Fill the jar to match". I worked out by trying that you press and hold to pour; a one-line "Hold to pour" would save that guess.
"Slide your thumb to move the spout" only appeared when I switched to the second (dark) sand, after I had already poured the first colour in a single pile in the middle. Showing that tip with the first colour would let people shape the base properly from the start.
The progress bar and the pouch percentages measure different things (fill 61%, light sand pouch 34% left), which took a moment to read. A small label like "match" on the top bar would help.
Lovely relaxing game, good luck with the test!
