Latest Game Updates

Announcements, updates, and patch notes for Sandbox Elements.

New Pixel Art Icons, Quest Mode Overhaul and new capabilities

update 23.07.2024 v0.9.0
  • Removed the "sandbox" game mode. All previously created sandbox levels are now (as previously known) "quest" levels. This allows for greater change and editing capabilities of your levels and splits your levels into a play and edit mode.
  • A complete overhaul of every icon. All icons are now in pixel art, providing a new unique and more consistent look for the entire game! The font and size of titles and labels have also been adjusted.
  • The speed of time can now be changed in the world menu. This allows you to speed up or slow down the time of your world and make the day/night cycle slower or faster.
  • Tabs are now centered in the world and settings menu.
  • Condition groups in events have been removed. Only a single type of condition can now be added to events. This makes the usage of conditions in events easier to use and the flow easier to understand. All previously created condition groups and conditions are automatically converted into a list of conditions.
  • Removed the utility and liquid element categories.
  • Renamed the "Basic" element category to "Physics".
  • Domino, player, and teleporter are now 1 block tall (50% smaller).

  • Booster element has been removed.
  • Icons can now be shown inside texts.
  • Reduced the volume of birds in the Grasslands world theme.
