## What is Falling Matter?

Falling Matter is a pixel physics sandbox where every grain matters. Pour sand, flood it with water, drop lava on top, and watch the world react.

REAL PHYSICS, REAL HEAT
• Every pixel has a temperature. Heat spreads fast through metal and slowly through wood and air.
• Water boils and freezes, ice melts, lava cools into obsidian, sand melts into glass.
• Liquids settle into layers by weight: gasoline floats on oil, oil on water, mercury sinks below everything.
• Turn on Heat view to see your world through a thermal camera.

60+ MATERIALS AND TOOLS
Powders, liquids, gases, metals, explosives, plants and people. Mix acid with metal to make hydrogen, cool red-hot steel in water, burn wood into glowing charcoal, or let thermite eat through a steel plate.

TILT TO POUR
Turn on phone tilt gravity, and everything falls toward the lower edge of your phone, just like sand in a jar.

BUILD, SAVE, SHARE
• Four save slots with previews.
• Share a crisp picture of your creation.
• Rotate your phone any time; your world comes with you.

AND MORE
• 13 trophies to discover.
• Tips that explain each material (turn them off any time).
• Vibration feedback for explosions and lightning.
• Works completely offline. No account, no ads, no data collected.
