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.

About

Space Crash Simulator

Experience realistic planetary collisions with a powerful physics engine. Customize your own cosmic events by adjusting particle count, velocity, and accuracy, or jump straight into high-energy impacts. This app offers a detailed, physics-based simulation for educational or entertainment purposes.

Highlights
  • Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation
  • Real-time planetary collisions
  • Customizable simulation parameters
  • Setup Mode for scenario creation
  • Adjustable particle count and accuracy
  • Physics-based detailed simulation
Features
Read full description

Smash worlds together and watch them shatter, merge, and melt, driven by real physics, not pre-made animations. Every planet is made of thousands of interacting particles, so every collision is computed live and no two impacts ever look the same. Build your own scenario in Setup Mode: place up to 8 bodies, set their size, density, spin and velocity, then let gravity do the rest. Or dive straight into a head-on collision and watch the debris glow, cool, and form a crust. - True particle physics (SPH), the first of its kind on mobile - Molten impact zones: heat, lava, and cooling crusts - Give planets rings or shred a moon into one with tidal forces (Roche limit) - Protoplanetary disk and colliding-galaxies modes - Black holes that tear planets apart - Custom planet textures from your own photos - Runs on everything: tune particle count, accuracy, and timescale to your device
