The Sandbox Evolution

The Sandbox Evolution is a 2D pixel world creation game where you use more than 200 elements, physics and controllable heroes to build worlds, make levels and share your creations online. You can start from scratch or use templates for Music, Pixel Art, Sandbox, Caveman or Avatar, and create worlds up to 10 times bigger than in the previous Sandbox game.

Create worlds

Mix natural elements such as mud, water, sand, fire, metal, electricity, acid and lava to discover how they interact. You can add animals including dogs, wolves, bears, cows, deer and sabertooth tigers, spread foliage and trees, and decorate with houses, castles and igloos. AI humans can also bring life to your worlds.

Technology elements include batteries, crosswires, resistance, bulbs, heaters, coolers, LEDs and sensors. You can use lasers to build puzzles, or destroy worlds with C4, meteorites, nitro, TNT, nukes, tornadoes, earthquakes and lightning.

Make games and art

The game includes five creator modes: Create Sandbox, Make Game, Make Laser, Make Chiptunes and Draw Pixel Art. In the game maker, you can combine ready-to-use 4x4 pixel blocks with platforms, traps, enemies, portals and spikes to make platforming levels. Placing a controllable hero adds direct control to a level. You can also draw original pixel art with over 100 colors and compose chiptune melodies.

Heroes and campaigns

Controllable heroes have different abilities: Arnold can shoot, Fujin can fly, and Hamster is among the available characters. The game includes nine dedicated campaign levels themed around Genesis, Disasters, Machines, Lasers, Pixel Art and new heroes, including Ninja and Caveman. It also describes a 15-level campaign about the creation of the universe, a Caveman story about fighting bears and wolves to recover his child, a Pixel Art campaign that teaches drawing, and a campaign in which Fujin collects Jade Jars and keeps them from evil beings.

Daily Quests draw on levels made by other players. You can take on challenging creations or submit your own levels for a chance to be featured.

Share creations

The Online Gallery lets you share worlds, search by keyword or tags such as pixel art, music, arcade, technology and landscape, and filter creations by newest or hottest. You can play and interact with other players’ worlds and rate them on a five-star scale. A social menu lets you follow players and top creators.
