Elemental Sands

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I have played a lot of idle games, and I did greatly enjoy what I got out of this one. The two currencies, sand and money, which are used to upgrade and unlock other items, is fairly unique. I enjoy how much being active pays off compared to a lot of other idle games, while being idle also provides lots of sand once you progress to a certain point. However, I found that after only a few thousand product upgrades, things seem to be slowing down drastically. While I have everything maxed out for additional upgrades, from prestige to prestige the prestige currency is hardly keeping up with what I need to get much out of each prestige. In addition, the other two worlds progress are also incredibly slow at first and have been a bit hard to pick up and play. Overall, I have really enjoyed this game, but it seems like I’ve hit a bit of a wall. I’ll keep playing for a bit, and if that wall is surmounted I will update my review.

The gameplay isn’t bad, but not ground breaking. I like that exporting gives you a profit multiplier. But the music.. dang dude. That is SO well done. It’s just like one long track with how all the movements seamlessly come together. A+ Music B+ Gameplay B Graphics/Art Style

The newest update that added 10 more levels and revamped upgrades was fantastic and made progression a lot more streamlined but the new patch that reset sand capacity and spawn rate ruined any semblance of progression I once had. Every time I reset I barely get any more upgrade currency and it’s stalemated my progress to a point where I don’t think I can recover my current game that I’ve worked on for 3 months now. The game is probably fantastic now for new players but I feel completely stuck at my current rates now and even 5-day fast forwards don’t do anything to boost my rates or currency amounts.
