Grainfall (Demo)
A sandbox where sand falls and moves around. Sand forms piles. Slides down. Water always finds its level. Fire needs to warm up a material before it catches so it moves along the path of jumping through it.
There are 350 different materials and all of them interact with each other. Lava changes sand into glass. Turns water into steam. Acid breaks down whatever it touches and becomes weaker as it moves. Iron turns into rust. It happens faster in salt water. Salt is treated as an amount, not just a different color. So brine sinks below water. If you freeze it the ice is fresh. The water, under it becomes saltier.
You can create circuits and machines. You can build a working engine or a nuclear reactor. You can grow crystals from a solution that has much of something dissolved in it. You can melt metals together to make materials. You can put some plants and insects in a jar. Watch them over time. There is no goal and no points.
It is a version and some parts are not fully finished. Large worlds can be slower. The food chain does not keep animals around for a long time. There are also some bugs. Worlds are saved in your browser. You can also save them as a file if you want to keep them longer.
Please let me know what I can work on next in the comments or something, inspired by sandboxels,
This is a demo, does not include alternative physics based and life based simulation modes which allow for more realistic systems, for every dollar you spend leave a comment asking for one element of your choice to be made, there are 4 total modes you get access to with purchase of the full game and you will be supporting me to make more updates!

a sandbox... in the literal sense !!!
splendid !
Tysm for your follow, do you have any feedback?
In fact, yes, a detail...
When we start, we are in a mode "add something" (sand by default) but we don't see in interface which mode is selected (no button selected) - and we don't know how to come back to this mode (as non native-english spoken, not easy)
