I thought it's just a sand sandbox. After reading other comments, it seems there is something else to do, they claimed they figured something out but never mentioned how to play.
Would be nice if there are instructions in the game page. Oh well... at least I built my own sand pyramid.
I would have liked a tutorial, but the game is pretty good, well done!
This is really cool! I love the art style, and it’s a really unique idea :D
It took me a while to figure out that you need the red and blue sand timers running at the same time t ogather sand.
Great work!
Very innovative game!
Would be really nice if there was a tutorial because it took forever to figure out just what is going on and what to do. Quite cool once you do figure out the mechanics though!
Def need some music to keep me entertained while I am filtering sand haha
My friend racked up and got up to 1033 seconds btw! If you want a screenshot we have one.
Nice! It was quite close to what I had. And I think 300 more would be doable, I just stopped collecting the sand at some point :)
Thanks for the feedback! The music was indeed missing :)
Cool game, but I struggled with getting the sand, fun concept keep it up!
Incredibly innovative game. I definitely struggled with meaningfully collecting new red or blue sands once I understood how to do so. The concept here is super cool and I'd love to see some mechanics that allow sorting out red/blue/brown sand (unless the point is that you're always doomed which is beautiful in its own way).
Hey @AriNeonShark! Haha thanks for the feedback! Have you tried to throw sand on top of the cone over the hourglasses? It should behave like this filter :)
this explanation of the filter was critical haha. I thought that was just a decoration! Works great. Thank you!
