The Sandbox

The Sandbox is a 2D world-building game where you combine pixel-block elements to create worlds, pixel art, chain reactions, chiptune music and contraptions. Its 15 campaigns include 250 puzzle levels, and the Create mode gives you worlds four times larger than on mobile. You can share creations in the Online Gallery, browse other players’ worlds, rate them and add elements to surprise their creators.

Create with elements

The game includes over 200 elements that interact through physics. They range from basic materials such as water, stone, sand, wood, glass, lava and fire to electricity, metal, viruses and antivirus, heaters and coolers, lasers, pipes, gems, sensors, LEDs, TNT, C4, crosswires, conveyor belts and musical instruments. You can also add fish, bees, lions, flamingos, humans, zombies, robots, aliens, dinosaurs, monuments, tanks, cars and trucks.

Campaigns and puzzles

The 15 campaigns are Initial Story, Dinosaurs, Pixel Art, Music, User-Created 1 & 2, Lasers and pipes, Contraptions, Humans, Zombies, Robots, Alien Invasion, Retro Gaming, Ninja and Ecology / Natural Disasters. Across them, the game has 250 puzzle levels. Tutorials introduce the world-building tools.

Build and animate worlds

You can compose chiptune melodies using Note, Guitar, Bass, Trumpet and Drums. Vehicles include cars, tanks and trucks, while LEDs, conveyor belts, lasers, pipes and sensors let you build contraptions. Humans can be assigned jobs with Magic Job Powders, turning them into miners, builders, hunters or woodcutters; you can also turn them into zombies. Robots, controllable Ninja, Avatar and Snake elements, dinosaurs, animals, fish and fireflies add more ways to shape and animate your worlds.

Decorations include the Eiffel Tower, a crashed UFO, pyramids, futuristic buildings and a giant robot. TNT and C4 create explosions, while meteors and fireworks can light up the sky.

Share your creations

The Online Gallery lets you share your worlds and explore creations by other players. You can rate their worlds and add elements to them as a surprise. Worlds are cross-platform: you can create on PC and view them on mobile, or create on mobile and view them on PC.
