## What is Water Box?

Ragdoll playground meets a floating sandbox in this physics-based simulation!

This water physics sandbox lets you experiment with realistic fluid behavior, sink ships by using bomb explosions, and enjoy a ragdoll people playground built to simulate destruction.

Features:

Water Simulation & Powder Sandboxel
- Simulate liquids like lava, petrol, oil, nitro, viruses, fireworks, and more – each with unique behaviors.
- Enjoy a beautiful underwater sandbox game with up to 200,000 water particles.


Ragdoll People Playground
- Discover the many unpredictable outcomes of ragdoll experiments!
- Use virus liquids to infect them or make them go crazy with chemicals.
- Realistic gore ragdoll playground: they can walk, drown, burn, or react to your experiments.


Ship Sinking Simulator & Floating Sandbox
- Build ships from scratch or choose from pre-built ones like cargo ships, submarines, and even the Titanic.
- Test their strength against waves, bombs, storms, or tsunamis.
- Watch ships float, sink, burn, or explode in realistic fashion.
- The inbuilt ship sinking simulator is very sophisticated
- Includes 50+ pre-built experiments and machines to explore.
- Build and test your own ships, vehicles, titanic clones, tanks rockets and share them in the online workshop.
- Construct using different materials like wood, rubber or stone.


Gore & Destruction Simulator
- Use explosives like nukes, grenades, and rockets to smash anything.
- Unleash god-powers like airstrikes, tsunamis, or firestorms.
- Choose among an arsenal of weapons to wreak havoc against your subjects!


Alchemy, Fire & Physics Sandbox
- Experiment with different elements - like lava with nitro, or fire with petrol and watch how they react with water, like freezing or evaporating
- Realistic temperature, fire, and chemical reactions.
- Set things on fire and watch it spread; extinguish it with water or freeze it into ice.
- All materials react uniquely – from flammable boats to explosive ragdolls.
- A deep and detailed destruction simulator game.
- the game includes many cool firework effects. 


Now have fun and relax while playing in this underwater powder game: build complex boats, machines or simulate chain reactions in this sandboxel. Players say this game has everything you would expect from an mobile algodoo alternative.
