About this APK
Sandstorm is a game by Vital Rudski in the Arcade category. It includes native code only for ARM (legacy) and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 9 permissions, 5 of them sensitive, including approximate location, read phone status and identity and find accounts on the device. The game offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
