Floating Sandbox

Floating Sandbox is a physics simulation game that lets players experiment with the destruction of ships in water. It places a detailed 2D model of a vessel on an open ocean and allows users to apply forces, make structural changes, or introduce disasters like collisions and explosions. The goal is not to win or survive, but to observe how materials behave under different conditions. The simulation is visually simple but mechanically rich, offering a space to explore the consequences of stress, pressure, and breakage in real time.

Tools for Creative Destruction

Players are given a wide range of tools to manipulate the ship and its environment. Whether it’s slicing through the hull, adding weight, setting fire to sections, or triggering underwater explosions, every action has a visible effect. As the ship bends, breaks, or sinks, the water reacts with dynamic splashes and flooding. Gravity, buoyancy, and mass are modeled in a way that creates a realistic and often surprising chain of reactions, all unfolding without pre-scripted events.

Core features of the game include:

• Real-time water and physics simulation
• Editable ship structure with pixel-based interaction
• Destructive tools such as fire, cutting, and explosions
• Multiple ship models available for experimentation
• A sandbox approach with no objectives or scoring

Experimentation Without Limits

There is no storyline or progression system in Floating Sandbox. The experience is entirely driven by curiosity. Players can load different ship types, modify their design, and observe what happens when they’re placed under unusual stress. Whether testing how long a ship can stay afloat after being damaged or trying to split a vessel perfectly in half, the game encourages exploration through trial and error. Every session can result in a different outcome based on user input.

Designed for Observation

While simple in presentation, Floating Sandbox invites attention to detail. Players can zoom in to see water enter cracks, or zoom out to track large-scale sinking events. The minimal interface allows the focus to remain on the ship’s behavior rather than controls. Because the game reacts to physical rules rather than scripts, the same action may lead to different results depending on timing and position. This makes it appealing for those who enjoy watching cause and effect unfold in a dynamic environment.

Floating Sandbox provides an open-ended experience that combines engineering concepts with visual experimentation. There are no missions or end goals—just a continuous opportunity to see how things fall apart. It’s a game for those who prefer creating, breaking, and observing without restrictions.
