There is no instructions page yet, and that is on me; one is coming. The short version: hold on the land to gather sand, hold again while your hand is full to pour it. Each town grows by one person every 8 seconds while it stays dry (up to 20), and each of the 7 waves lifts the sea for good. Sand walls keep a town dry longer, so it grows longer. Tap a town to send its people up to the altar on the ridge before the water cuts their way. Your score is everyone still dry at the end.

Ahhhhhh OK. That was not clear.

It's a bit confusing for sure. I'm not sure how this island has a win or lose?

The people all left... The sand only protected the first town.

The sea has no win or lose, only a score: everyone still dry when it ends, in a town or at the altar. It ends when only the altar stands above the water. People who walk up early are safe but stop growing, so the game is how long you dare keep each town below with sand.

20 dry on Sea 2, thanks for posting the line. 38 people faced it and the best kept 35, mostly by holding the towns with sand a wave or two longer before sending them up.

I'm not sure if I get it either... How many salt people are there supposed to be? Now do I save 30 salt people if I only have 10 to begin with? I lost 0 to the sea, but still only placed 25/26?

Edit: do the people reproduce if you leave them in their towns for a while?

Three people start, each walking to a town of its own. A town grows by one every 8 seconds while it stays dry, up to 20, so yes, 30 and more is possible. Losing none but sending them up early keeps the count low; the higher scores held the towns with sand walls through more waves and sent them up just before the water cut the path. No instructions page yet; that is my fault and it is coming.
