My game where you help a small rotund elephant build sandcastle won an educational game award last month! 🎉🐘

Elfie: A Sand Plan is a cozy puzzle game where you help your new friend Elfie, a small rotund elephant, build out her sandcastles with geometrical sand blocks. The solutions to most puzzles are open-ended, meaning that as long as your build fits within Elfie's plans she'll be happy!

You'll also unlock a bunch of swimsuits for Elfie, as well as additional music tracks, as you play through the game. I encourage you to take your time with it, Elfie's in no rush!

The game won in the indie game category of the Gee! Learning Game Awards and is 100% positive on Steam! I'm very proud of how far Elfie has gotten since the launch of the game in May.

Also, the game is currently on sale on Steam!

Looking for a spatial geometry puzzle game?

The game I released a bit over a month ago might be for you and it's on sale now during the Steam Summer Sale!

Elfie: A Sand Plan is a game about helping a small rotund elephant build some sand castles. In each level you'll be given a set of blocks to use to build something that matches the orthographic projections Elfie gives you.

The game does starts off easy as I wanted to give enough time for players less accustomed to 3D visualization puzzles to slowly get the hang of things. But there are different hint modes (Colorless Hints and No Hints) if you feel the need for a bit more of a challenge right from the start.

Here's the game's Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3784760/Elfie_A_Sand_Plan/

Elfie: A Sand Plan - My cozy sandcastle puzzle released last month!

Hello cozy gamers!

I'd like to start of by thanking everyone here who support the game in whatever way. From the simple upvotes to the purchased and reviewed. I can't begin to express how much your interaction with the game helped with this small indie self-funded and self-published project.

Elfie: A Sand Plan came out a bit over a month ago on May 12. It got to "Very Positive" on Steam within 3 days. Much faster than I had anticipated. And even passed 100 positive reviews (with 100%) within a month. (So it had the chance to be overwhelmingly positive for recent reviews for a few days!)

So if you're looking for the perfect game to relax this summer, I hope you'll consider joining Elfie by the beach. She's a bit too clumsy to build those sandcastles by herself so she could really use the help!

If you'd like to read a bit more about the game, here's recent review for it: ladiesgamers.com/elfie-a-sand-plan-review/

New Godot Game Release! Elfie: A Sand Plan is out!

Hello everyone!

I'm happy to announce the game I've been developing in Godot, Elfie: A Sand Plan, just released yesterday!

It's a relaxing puzzle game where you'll meet Elfie, a small rotund elephant, and help her build some sandcastles.

Given a set of sand blocks in each level, you will need to match your sand sculptures with what Elfie has in mind. And with no timers or fixed solutions, you can take your time and enjoy solving each puzzle in the way you like. Elfie isn't too demanding, as long as it matches her vision she will be happy!

It's available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3784760/Elfie_A_Sand_Plan/

The reception for the game has been great so far! And I want to share some highlights from the Steam reviews it has gotten so far:

  • "Elfie: A Sand Plan is both extremely cute and charming, but also a very fun and challenging puzzle game! The art, music, and even the menus are all so whimsical they really draw you in!"
  • "The demo was a good taste of the gameplay, but I wasn't prepared for how addictive these adorable little sand castle puzzles would be!"
  • "I can say without a doubt that Elfie: A Sand Plan exceeds my expectations for the game."
