Definitely a really cool concept. However, I feel as though there was a slight lack of cohesion and polish that the game could've benefited a lot from. Still though, congratulations on the submission!

Fun idea but definitely could've used some polish. I would have liked more time in general and maybe some sort of sound to indicate when I am low on time. Would definitely be an interesting game with some more work though.

A little clunky at first with the move and the aim. Great idea, which just lack some polishing (like the countdown, it's the theme of the jam, it should be clearer ;) ! )

A bit confusing and collision is a bit odd at times, but very creative concept. It was difficult to aim the sand into the hourglass. Cool idea!

I had fun with it. The controls are hard to get from the start, but not long after, I was zooming around. I like that it has an end. 👍

I agree on a balancig / beggining - it was vbery difficult for me to get movement right, but good execution! amazing music and artstyle.

This Game is pretty fun. Although i would recommend some rebalancing. The beginning was just way to hard but  once you got past the first few upgrades it got really easy. Still great game!
