Animations might be added later on as optional opt-in feature. But honestly, animations just holds me back and when I am trying to get best possible time, waiting for animations hampers that. Waiting to pour one color from vial so I can pour the next color is just time wasted (same as the ads embedded in most water sort games on smartphones). :D Sounds are in the works, but I want to make them in-house, so it takes more time.
