Falling Sand Game A strange-sounding but addictive game

[beeseven 0]

This is one of those games whose concept is really weird in theory, but is actually quite addicting in practice.

 

Basically, sand, water, salt, and oil fall down and you can mess with them with things like walls, fire, wax, and plants. There are also other versions, like "Hell of Sand," which has zombies, and "Pyro Sand," which has more explosive items.

 

There are also mods, like "Burning Sand," which has many more elements, and (in my opinion) the best interface. Another, wxSand, has a good interface too, but not as many elements as some of the others. My favorite is EnigmaSand because you can use XML to make new elements and change how they interact.

Such a brilliant game! I've been using it for a while when I get bored trying to make long complicated series of triggers, like the Honda advert but with weird chemicals. Personally I use wxSand with a load of mods to get more elements, and I've even designed a few of my own, although they're not that good When you add the WX mod pack to wxSand you get loads of elements to do all sorts of things, and I think more people have mad elements for it (including food).
