I don't like textureless games, but this one was really good! How sad I can't buy this game because I am Russian, but anyway thank you for this good demo, I really like it!
Directly at the beginning, when the boat arrived and you get out you can see that the boat completly black at the bottom, like completly . I don't know if that is intended. The waterfall at the beginnen looks strange if you look from the backsite. When I went through the first portal and the blackscreen was there, I could see a line of pixels at the right side.
That was everything. It's pretty nice game. The graphics are really beautiful. Only some shadows are little bit strange. I know that was really a strict review but I wanted to say everything so you can fix that. It's just a very nice game that needs some work. 👍
The graphics style is very unique and absolutely georgeous and fits the Puzzle theme very well. It would be good of were to be optimized a little better however. Since I'm running the game at around 30 FPS, which is pretty sad considering how my PC runs Apex Legends at 80 FPS.
Amazing! I had a go at this about a month ago and loved the concept and visuals but I got stuck on (I'm guessing?) the last puzzle. Saw a let's play video yesterday and felt a bit stupid for not figuring it out I was supposed to rewind twice, but I got fixed on the idea that I'm supposed to jump back to main "island" with the cube and got really frustrated when the cube kept respawning back even if I made the jump.
That was really frustrating for me too, because I did the same thing. I did find the solution they wanted later on, but the first time the cube shifted back I felt like I'd been scolded for solving the problem in a way that was perfectly viable. That clever feeling you get for solving the puzzle was let down by it, honestly.
Even though I prefer more detailed graphics, Hourglass is a visually pleasing puzzle game with some fun puzzles happening in it. It's also rather relaxing, with the only stress of solving anything being what you put on yourself, and I like that. Sometimes, it's fun to just relax in a game.
I love the game a lot! I'm really excited for the full release, you can find my gameplay/commentary Here for the first half, I'll be releasing the second half tomorrow!

Love the concept
Really nice looking game and I beat all your puzzles. So, ha! I think I did them the right way, they were a bit unconventional near the end...
wow

Gave it a go...
