About Falling Sand Idle

✦ AI summary

Falling Sand Idle is an incremental game where you guide countless particles through physics-based interactions, upgrading their properties to progress through increasingly complex environments. Watch as simple sand grains evolve into thriving ecosystems complete with reproducing leaves, dead matter, and creatures that consume it all, with your strategic upgrades determining the chaos unfolding on screen.

Falling sand idle is an incremental game powered by a little physics simulation.  Your progression is determined by the interactions of lots of little circles that run into each other.  You can make them bigger, smaller, or hotter.  You can change the environment they move around in.  Eventually, they can eat each other.

Content

  • Level 1:  You start out moving grains of sand through an hourglass.  Each time a grain hits the bottom, you get it back, and can drop it again from the top.  You also get a tiny moment of time, that you can use to buy upgrades.  Eventually, you'll have thousands of grains on screen at once.
  • Level 2: The next level is a forest.  You start out placing leaves, which costs nothing but a click.  You get a tiny adaptation of evolution for every particle you create, which lets you research upgrades.  Eventually, your leaf dies, leaving behind a dead leaf particle.  Once you teach the leaves to reproduce, you'll eventually have too many dead leaves to make new live ones.  Luckily, bugs love to eat dead leaves...

✦ AI summary

Falling Sand Idle has an entertaining idle gameplay loop with satisfying automation progression, but it suffers from significant technical issues including game-breaking UI bugs, disappearing upgrades, and save problems that frequently render it unplayable. Players appreciate the core concept and first stage but note the game feels unfinished, lacks clarity on what upgrades do, and needs substantial polish and bug fixes before it's worth investing time in.

Cool concept, but the game is riddled with bugs and very unfinished. I'm talking upgrades break the game or disappear. Saves work sometimes. Hope the dev revisits it eventually.

Game breaking UI bugs make the game unplayable. At one point the forest unlocks and the entire UI disappears leaving only a black screen. Give this a miss.

Fun Idler! For the developer: I would add some more UI around the upgrades, to explain what they do. I think the endorphin hit would be higher if you added a few more visuals. During the hourglass map for example adding the weight of the sand to each grain. Or making the diameter of the grains of sand easier to pick out post upgrade.

Not complete currently, but honestly still pretty entertaining as a way to pass the time and can easily be done alongside something else as the "Idle" part of the name implies. The first stage in particular is pretty addicting to watch and quickly achieve high levels of automation, the second stage is a little less interesting.

the hourglass is to big, I got all my sand red, it goes to the top . I keep clicking unlock the forest. whatever that is.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
