About
Universe Sandbox is a realistic physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on an unimaginable scale.
It merges real-time gravity, climate, collision, and material interactions to reveal the beauty of our universe and the fragility of our planet.
N-body simulation at almost any speed using Newtonian mechanics. Real science, real physics, no supercomputer required.
Epic, mind blowing collisions of massive planetary bodies that leave behind molten craters.
Start with a star, then add a planet. Spruce it up with moons, rings, comets, or even a black hole.
Watch sea ice grow and recede with the seasons because of a planet’s tilt - change the tilt and change the seasons. Or move planets close to a star and see the oceans boil away as the surface heats up.
Watch a supernova unfold by colliding two stars, cranking up their mass, or making them explode at your whim.
Hitch a ride with spacecraft including Juno and New Horizons, or view a total solar eclipse.
Build and terraform planets with 12 materials, including water, oxygen, & carbon dioxide
Stellar flares & volatile trails
Procedurally generated planets, stars, & galaxies
Pulsars
Light-warping black holes
Epic space lasers
Shape oceans & mountains on planet surfaces
Spin planets apart with centrifugal force
Original soundtrack by Macoubre
Support for 20+ languages

fun and allows for realistic simulations and creation of star systems
Wonderful, nostalgic, and surprisingly accurate. Universe Sandbox is a fun game, but I seriously got to stop turning the Earth into a supermassive blackhole.
классная игра мне очень нравиться
This game is Awesome! I love it.
9/10 game! Its a REALLY cool realistic simulation game and i love everything about it, one thing that would make it a 10/10 is if it had more real existing planets or objects such as Ton-618 and to add physical nebulas that has its own category "nebula" even then its a really good game, highly recommend and good price.
this is a cool realistic game that i like alot. it sparks my creativity every time i use it. you should buy
The legacy version of this game is one of the first games I ever bought on steam, This is such a good upgrade and definitely worth it. If you love space this is an easy buy
So my review is that this game lets you play god when it comes to planets, stars, and so much more!
amazing game best solar system game ever i llove taking anger out on this world for copping down trees and justice not being fair and i can pull apart planets an d then sun using black holes
Pretty solid game for disturbing orbits, explosions, and destruction. 💗
