Sandspiel is a free, open-source falling-sand game by Max Bittker. You get a canvas and a palette of elements: sand, water, stone, ice, gas, wood, plants, fungus, seeds, fire, lava, acid, dust, oil and more. Draw them on the canvas and watch them fall, flow, burn, grow and react with each other.

There is no goal and no score, just a calm place to experiment. Plants thrive in water, seeds grow on sand, acid eats through other elements, dust explodes and a cloner copies whatever it touches. The Wind tool blows everything around with a real fluid simulation. The simulation runs in WebAssembly and works smoothly on phones, tablets and computers.

How to play

Pick an element on the side panel.

Draw on the canvas with the mouse or your finger.

Combine elements and watch how they react.

Use Wind to blow things around, undo a stroke or reset the canvas to start over.

Controls

Mouse / touch: draw the selected element

Dots: brush size

Pause / play, undo (curly arrow) and Reset on the panel

Empty: erase

Tips
