It's actually a lot more fun than you'd think it'd be at first glance.
It's fun with particle physics and an interactive environment, using paper-rock-scissors style substances.

Ironically, sand is the least exciting of them all. It eats away water spouts, and that's it. Salt is almost equally useless; The only thing it does is cause the nakemuji to shrink, and eventually explode.
Water douses fire. Spouts generate water. Fire consumes Oil and Plants. Plants consume water. ??? consumes everything other than Plants and the nakemuji. The najemuji consumes everything, but grows with water.

Oil can enable you to burn away anything else using it in conjunction with fire.
Cera is the same as wall, except it's flammable, and leaves behind a flammable substance when it is burned.

The thing that makes it entertaining to me is to make intricate patterns of the various substances interacting. On the simplest level, you could fill in everything with cera, and then draw a picture in flames. On more complicated levels, you can build elaborate mazes for the substances to follow. Using spouts to create water slowly filling up your maze until it reaches a single plant particle, which explodes into rapid growth and runs the maze backwards is neat too.

It's not flashy, it's not quite a game, and it won't keep you occupied forever, but I think it's a fairly good reminder that you don't need eye candy and elaborate rule systems to make a decent 'game' or piece of interactive software.

It gets addicting when you try stuff on it.

whats the CERA do?

It burns slowly leaving behind residue that is flammable. Read Mercury Angel's post.

At first I thought it was OK, but then I realized what all the colors meant and my brain exploded with possibilities, I've played this for atleast over 2 hours now.

I like watching fire spread and plants grow.
