Editor review
Sand Glass Tap is a basic timer-tap arcade with cosmetic monetisation pressure. Tap when sand finishes draining through the hourglass. The format is the most basic version of timer-tap arcades.
What works is the visual presentation. Sand particles fall with appropriate physics. The hourglass visual is satisfying to watch.
What does not work is the depth. Every round is the same tap-on-end mechanic. No variation, no power-ups, no combination challenges.
Tested over one Warsaw Metro ride before stopping. Touch and mouse input both work.
Where the game tries hardest is the cosmetic hourglass shop. Twenty different visual themes through grindable currency.
Where I would push back is the monetisation. Ads after every round. Paid skip available. The basic format does not justify the load.
Two-and-a-half stars. Functional basic timer-tap arcade ruined by monetisation. Skip.
