Want to watch a house being sucked into a black hole?
Want to shoot lasers at a frozen lake?
Want to set off a nuclear bomb with the sole purpose of destroying bees?

Welcome to the world of Pixel Sand!

Here are some buzzwords that our marketing department told us not to use:

8 Chapter Campaign - wow
Sandbox Mode - what is that?
Networked Multiplayer - it kinda works
Kids Mode - let them bash keyboards
Procedurally Generated World Mode - oh great another one?
Downloadable Mods - lol nerds

Pixel Sand is a fantasy physics platformer of epic indie proportions. Drawing inspiration from Dan-Ball's Powder Game and other games like Falling Sand, World of Sand, & Powder Toy, we've added to the genre with a familiar player named Vuhrne and a ground breaking story. Solve engaging puzzles and experiment with hundreds of elements as you explore your way through the world in campaign mode, or join a friend and create a universe together that is entirely your own. Share your designs with the world in our online mod community and download mod content for endless hours of entertainment.
