Falling Sand Idle treats progression like a screensaver, letting you purchase upgrades that reshape the visual flow of circles across your screen. The incremental loop spans a few hours, blending minimal interaction with passive observation, though the game currently struggles with focus requirements and display scaling that limit its idle functionality.

Sorry, but I cannot endorse the game.

#1 issue: the game does not run, unless it got focus, so it is breaking like the one core rule of idle games.

#2 issue: as soon as I unlocked the forest, the game broke.... or at least it felt like it. There was no more automisation, the hourglass was still available but did not work anymore, I was able to get to "-2 sand" somehow. In the forest I could increase reproduction and photosynthesis, but they did not have any noticeable effect and the game turned into a mouse-killer-clicker.

I will not refund it, as it was only 1.99€, but I also do not recommend it to anyone, as it is buggy or badly designed.... I also do not have any idea, why heated sand would float upward in an hourglass, but that is a minor issue.

Oh, the hourglass currencies 'sand' and 'moment' were carrying over to the forest, where they clutter up with the forest currencies, but they do not have any meaning anymore.

Unplayable on widescreen.
There's no settings for resolution, so half of the game is out of view.

Super cleaned up the layout of the resource views. Also a couple of miscellaneous fixes: A crash, autobuy sand being enabled always, etc.

Rebalance forest intro

The play experience from unlocking forest to getting a sustainable source of leaf particles was way too long, and required too much clicking. It is now much shorter and more pleasant to experience.
