Sand in a bottle is a puzzle where the player colors sand art one area after the other, but areas that share one side can't have the same color. In this game, I worked on the core concept, prototype and levels (both art and level design). This is another game developed at Lion Studios.
As it isn't a recurrent mechanic in color games, each initial level was developed to teach the core without overwhelming the player. The challenge grows the more the player gets used with the mechanics.
Initial mock-ups for the game design document with the order of the colors given to the player:
