It doesn’t in my case, I see some weird animation, everything disappears, “pour” button again. Shaking or any other movement doesn’t help. Latest chrome on iOS
I wouldn’t call it realistic, sand gets stuck in the air, stones don’t rotate, and there’s quite an uncanny valley effect based on angles.
Still a cool demo of what is possible, even though I get 10fps or something on a iPhone 15 Pro
didnt encounter the stucking issue but agree with the overerall point, the sand gets a sort of 'build-up pressure and bounce back' effect which breaks the immersiveness for me, otherwise cool

oh wow, the stones even have some water around them. This looks and feels real.
And if you manage to collect a lot in one place, the sand from the pile does fall like real sand. This is amazing.
The sound is not good though.
Wow man, very cool.
On a mobile phone it makes a lot more sense. Try shaking it!
Nothing happens on my android phone

It helps, if you lock orientation on the phone.
Whenever the phone detects an orientation change, it resets the layout.
Works for me in Safari — iPhone 17 Pro, all up to date
The sand is pouring onto the phone screen so if your phone is tilted or upside down it looks illogical
I think it responds to tilting, not shaking?
I am feeling the sand physically at watching at this, good job!
This is really cool and give a realistic sense
i feel like i'm watching a stop-motion movie as it moves. very nice
This is very fun to play with.

What do you mean "stuck in the air?" It's top down.
They don’t move, not even when pressing with your finger, “stuck on the ground” then, it’s the same outcome.
Zooming on the desktop makes it more dense looking, which is probably not intended but can look very cool IMO.
Reminds me of this demo game https://store.steampowered.com/app/3216520/Sandcastle/
This is annoying to clean up exactly like real sand.
