The Sandbox Launches on Steam

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – April 22, in the year of our Lord 2014 – Acclaimed pixel art world-building mobile game The Sandbox is now available worldwide for PC on Steam Early Access. The Sandbox puts players into a virtual sandbox where they can choose from 150 interactive different physics elements to craft and share entire worlds. The Sandbox on Steam is a premium adaption of the original game and is available for US$9.99 without any micro-transactions.

Using a simple but powerful 2D pixel blocks visual style and featuring a unique mission-based approach, The Sandbox challenges players to create elements and craft or destroy worlds. Players can choose to play as a benevolent deity that gives life to majestic mountains and beautiful forests, or they can be a vengeful deity by spawning raging fires and devastating explosions. As players complete each mission and advance, they create pixel art, set off chain reactions, develop chip-tune music, work advanced contraptions, design electric circuits and interact with the amazing world of physics. Once a new world has been created, players can share them in the online gallery.

“World building games, like The Sandbox, Minecraft and Terraria, ignite the imagination,” said Arthur Madrid, CEO of Pixowl. “The Sandbox offers players the opportunity to create while playing, setting their minds free to come up with fantastical worlds. The HD Steam version of The Sandbox has a unique retro style that appeals to world-builder fans of all ages.”

The Sandbox on Steam includes all the basic elements and the 11 original campaigns to explore – all without micro transactions or having to unlock additional elements to play.
