Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox vs Float Simulator
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox
Engage in realistic water physics simulations, build and destroy various watercraft, and experiment with environmental parameters like wave frequency and density. Create custom ships or structures and test their resilience with explosions and demolitions.
- Ship editor for custom builds
- Real-time destruction sandbox
- Adjustable water physics parameters
- Variety of bombs and explosions
- Build custom structures
- Launch ships in deep water

Love physics simulation? Want some realistick water simulator? Do you like explosions and destructions too? Then Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox is for you Different simulations in one: Create boat or survival raft - build your own ship in editor or use a pre-built creaft. Sandbox in real time - you can destroy in this game too, use some explosions to demolish submarine! Liquid simulator - control various parameters of water to make it behave different (like wave frequency, speed, water tension, density etc). Create a tsunami, rise sea level or remove all water to build some hauses and destroy them later. Features: - sandbox, build a wall for inspection and throw bombs at it - launch your ship in deep water - Different level designs - Build your own boat in editor that allows you to set weight or even connection force - different types of bombs with different explosions - create different structures like house, tower or huge town... be creative. Now have fun with this physics game!
Float Simulator
Pilot a vertical profiling float to achieve mission success by hitting target depths and maintaining neutral buoyancy. This simulation is inspired by the MATE ROV underwater robotics competition.
- Manual float control
- Target depth achievement
- Neutral buoyancy adjustment
- Four-phase missions
- Inspired by MATE ROV competition

Do you have what it takes to take manual control of a vertical profiling float and pilot it mission success? Hit the target depth and hold within the required zone for each of four phases, while carefully adjusting for a neutral buoyancy point that changes with each new dive. Inspired by the Float mission task in the MATE ROV underwater robotics competition (www.materovcompetition.org). Say "hi!" to the PVIT ROV team at the 2026 MATE ROV World Championships or on Instagram @PVITROV

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Float Simulator at 5.0 against Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox's 2.8. Float Simulator also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Float Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Float Simulator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox has 76 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Fluid Ship Simulator Sandbox ships an update every 2 days, Float Simulator every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
