Fireworks Studio is a firework simulation app. Use a selection of fountains, rockets, candles, barrages, and firework shapes to create amazing displays. The fireworks are placed in a virtual environment were they can be timed to allow you for full control over your display.

About

Water Physics Simulation

Explore three distinct physics simulations: build and navigate ships, experiment with bomb explosions and water behavior in a sandbox, or observe the interactions of various elements. This free app offers creative building and destructive fun.

Highlights
  • Water and liquid simulations
  • Ship building and raft survival
  • Bomb explosions and destruction sandbox
  • Real-time sandbox with powder/dust particles
  • Build and control custom boats
  • Create and destroy structures

Do you like liquid simulations? Do you like the flow behavior of water? Do you like bomb explosions? If yes, then you will have much fun with the Physics Sandbox app. [by gaming-apps.com] Three physics simulations in One: 1. Shipping / Raft Survival: You can build your own ship or use a pre-builted boat and try to survive, if you go on a raft trip with your boat now. 2. Powder Game: If one use the real-time sandbox, then you can play with our bomb simulator or simulate diverse states of waterbody under different influences in every areas of the room. Furthermore you can build for example a house and let it explode later. 3. Liquid simulator: One can watch various structures, ships, buildings, dust etc. and they interact together in different forms, if you insert prefabricated user-actions like a spawner... into the Simulation. Features: - this game is free! - a) sandbox, build for examle a wall and throw bombs to it (Powder Game) - b) raft survival (shipping mode) - c) 24 prefabricated level designs (simulation mode) - construct your own boat with 13 different single parts of a ship - 6 prefabricated levels in the section "shipping" - one can add to a own constructed boat 4 prefabricated - furthermore: 5 bombs types + 5 upgrades per bomb with different explosions - 4000 water particles (soft bodies /powder/ dust) - watch the general behavior of fluid, e.g. pressure, flow behavior, spread in the observation room, special effects, etc. - build and control your boat - create various structures like a house, a seesaw, a tower ... be creative And now have fun with our free physics game everybody! by gaming-apps.com This game is free, but shows ads.

Both are free to download. Fireworks Studio sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Water Physics Simulation sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Fireworks Studio against 4.2 for Water Physics Simulation. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Water Physics Simulation has 4.6K ratings behind it against 311, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Fireworks Studio's written reviews are positive against 76% of Water Physics Simulation's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
