  • Any games so diverse and complex that makes you say, "I didn't know that can happen" or "I didn't know I can do that"
    The Powder Toy probably fits this. As the name suggests, it's more of a toy than a game, and you may have already played a form of it if you're older. If you remember the falling sand web games from awhile back, The Powder Toy is basically that concept but run further than you might expect. Source: over 1 year ago

    The Powder Toy is a 2D physics sandbox game, the game includes the ability to share your creations with others over the net. The image OP posted looks like a screenshot taken out of the public creations menu. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is User Generated Content a Good Idea?
    The Powder Toy has a good direct sharing system in game with a search, tags and voting. People will submit realistic nuclear reacators, but they can also submit any other kind of image. These simulations can be downloaded from a server, so they need some kind of validation mechanism to make sure nobody uses an engine bug to to malicious things... Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Improving the foundation of our falling sand simulator
    Allow me to recommend The Powder Toy[0]. It is to date, as far as I can tell, The most advanced falling sand game available, aside from maybe Noita, though the focus there is quite different from most falling sand games.

  • [TOMT] Old flash game, I think it has "pyro" in the title
    Sounds like you're describing something similar to The Powder Toy, although it's a standalone executable rather than a Flash app - who knows though, that might just be what you're looking for. Source: over 2 years ago
