I'm stuck. Can't rotate the hourglass even though all the sand is at the bottom.

Ran into the same issue, sand got stuck in the bottom half and the rotate option remained greyed out. Maybe just keep rotate permanently available?
Not saving is also pretty annoying.

Doesn't save.
Game is "broken", the rotate option remained grayed out evn if all the sand is in the bottom.

I think it'd be nice to see what the red and blue sand do. I saw that red sand gives more, but the blue sand doesn't seem to do anything? A small description would be nice.

Ah, the blue sand clumps things together and forces multiple grains to go through!

I believe the no flip bug is related to the shop items triggering the nudge but not triggering whatever detection you have for if the balls are dropping. Sometimes buying upgrades or even just clicking an upgrade triggers the nudge effect (with no cooldown so I assume its a bug) and that triggering doesn't trigger whatever counter decides if the hourglass can flip or not.

Fun! Visually entertaining, fairly short.

I would have liked more information about the color upgrades via tooltip or something

This game has an interesting concept, and I like the graphics/UI! I personally never experienced any lag or bugs (Firefox on decent-spec Win10, 60+fps even with 500k+ coins), and I think it has decent pacing for the length. I do agree with another commenter that Sand types should be explained (gold is pretty obvious, but not blue? Unless it's just three scales of increased currency gain.)

Not sure if you're interested in feedback, but if so, my only complaint is that I find it mildly frustrating that I can't buy upgrades while the hourglass is turning. I think I understand why, as spawning grains can't really happen visually mid-turn, but it would be nice if upgrades were perhaps "queued" to proc once the turn is complete. Until late game, the most instinctive time to buy upgrades is when you're not constantly clicking-- generally only when the hourglass is turning. Maybe this is intentional game design, and another push for the player to buy hourglass spin-speed upgrades, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Maybe an early-game upgrade to allow buying upgrades mid-turn? Idk. It's a fun little game regardless! Thanks for sharing!

my hourglass sometimes refuses to flip like it’s unionized. Everything’s at the bottom, but it’s still on break. Still great fun though!”

Interesting idea, but seems too buggy and easy to break the game. It is the worst timeglass in the world though, every grain of sand gets stuck.

This is a fun game with a cute little physics engine and maybe some need for balance and bugfixes, VERY good draft we have here.

Game broke on me when i had the 2nd last hourglass turning speed bought: sand was spilled upon turning (more than you gain!), but it's possible sand gets stuck instead of disappearing, and that makes the turning impossible. Otherwise, fun and fast game.

the only bug that i found was that when the glass rotates at full speed, the sand clips out, like 5 or 6 grains of it. cool game tho!

can't rotate the hourglass.

and i don't like that i can't buy upgrades while it's flipping.. which is actually the most logical/obvious time when a player would be likely to click upgrades.

Doesn't save. I got stuck withh all the sand in the bottom and no way to rotate the hourglass. Also why can't you buy upgrades when the hourglass is moving? I do like the idea of this game though.

First try bugged and I couldn't rotate the hourglass. Second try worked. A bit confused as to what sand does ? Level 10 rotation speed is so fast it ejects 2 grains of sands by rotation. Cool little game.
