Haha I am. It's very addicting. I have to get the creative juices flowing though! Creating volcanos for the past 2 hours is getting old . Slightly off topic but have you been gone from the forums for awhile? I've just recently seen you back...
Yeah.. I lost interested in iOS gaming for a WHILE. I'm back now though, and this game is going to make me fricken unbelievably active on the forums. I always posted questions if there's any similar games to Toy Box or Falling Sands on the appstore, and The Sandbox is the game I always dreamed of getting developed. I want to play this so bad, I'm a die-hard fan for Sandbox element/particle games. Also I got like 40 bucks to spend on apps. Bring it on.
Haha thanks. Do you know how long it takes to receive an email back from the beta application? I can't wait!
I think this is one of the best game of it's kind. Just making it a little smoother and making the level instruction flow a bit better with more coherance will makethe game perfect. How do I beat the waterfall level? Lolz.
YESSS YES!! I got the build! Thank you pixowl! Thank you for accepting me, and for creating such an amazing game!
Is this a bug? I can't get past this level either! Nothing happens when I make the waterfall . Heres the level with the water I put on the multi-blocks: Also I'm experiencing a bunch of crashes every so often on my iPod Touch 4th Gen 8gig when messing around in free play and Story mode. If you'd like more info just ask. EDIT: Bugs I found so far: -Random crashes every so often in Freeplay/Storymode (Not sure how to reproduce this one) -When you go on the title screen and drag the "Play in Story Day #" (# standing for any level you're on), and let go, the game crashes. The same thing happens if you drag the "Play in Freemode" button. -I randomly unlocked all the levels after restarting (rebooting) my iDevice (iPod Touch 4th Gen 8gig Jailbroken on iOS 5.0+). -There's no sound at all on the title screen or ingame. My Wishlist: Yes pretty much! I suggest you maybe add: - Fireworks: (If lit on fire, little dirt/dust particles shoot in the air and land on the ground. - Mercury - Vines: (Like fungus sort of, if you place it in the air it will stick in the air looking like thick grass but vines grow crawling under it, and if it touches any other particle (example: the ground/solid particles) it will spread all around it looking mossy/green on the outlines of it. - Salt: (Can put out fire if dropped on it, and maybe lava if you feel it should, and when added to water, it creates salty water which is harder to evaporate from heat/fire/lava.) The salty water can look like foggy/cloudy colored water. - Birds: Just basically brown particles that fly everywhere in the air, and can be burned by fire! - Bomb: Little brown particles that if dropped from high above and hits the ground/liquid, it explodes and the residue is splattered across the area, but should not be too powerful. If it's lightly dropped only a bit above the surface it will land on the surface and not explode, but if it's lit by fire/lava it will explode instantly. It should also be able to float in water if possible. - Fish: I saw this on the online version of The Sandbox, I liked how fish were floating like teal particles in the water swimming around. - Pumps: Can be powered by electricity, and is used only for liquids (Water/Oil/Lava). Pumps have to be 1 single line from 1 point to another point. Solid particles (dirt/stone, etc) can be placed all over the pump but it will act like a wall for those so they cannot interfere with the pump. Liquids can only go in the pump from one of the two end points of the line (pump). Wind/Air: If you drag the screen with this particle selected, all of the particles will be moved and fly around (including liquid/solid) by windy air currents, etc. This is my future element particle wish list at the moment, I hope some of these are added one day!
Hello About the Day 17, we updated the winning conditions. Don't forget to add the "Void" element where needed so the water disappears in a "blackhole"
I can't use the void element.. It never unlocked it for me. I'm stuck on the first step of day 17 where it asks to make a waterfall. I added water to the multi's on the top left of the level and let the water stream down to the end and nothing happens. I can't get past that step. Help!
We have been interviewed at the GDC conference and you can find new articles and crusty news about The Sandbox in these articles: TouchArcade: "The SandBox is a charming little pixellated 2D world-creation game -- and, by world, I mean the space inside of a literal sandbox."
