What Is Sandspiel?
Sandspiel is a mesmerizing falling-sand sandbox. Pick an element — sand, water, fire, plant, lava, acid, gas, and more — and paint it onto the canvas. Every particle is simulated: water flows, fire spreads, plants grow, ice freezes, and everything interacts.
There's no score and no way to lose; Sandspiel is pure creative play, which is exactly why it's so hard to put down. Built with WebAssembly for silky-smooth simulation, it runs beautifully in any modern browser, and you can upload and browse creations from other players.
