Sandbox Universe turns your browser into a playground where you manipulate celestial bodies. You drag planets into orbit and watch how gravity dictates their chaotic future paths. Placing a new star or a dense black hole shifts everything in the vicinity instantly. Collisions create spectacular explosions that scatter debris across the dark void. You adjust the mass and temperature of every planet manually to see if your creation remains stable. Controlling the timeline allows you to fast-forward through millions of years to witness the long-term evolution of your custom galaxy. Sandbox Universe gives you total creative freedom to build solar systems or destroy them with a single click. Play this space simulator for free right now in your browser without any downloads required.
1. The game starts with the Solar System. Rotate the camera with your mouse or finger, zoom in with the scroll wheel or pinch gesture.
2. Tap "+" on the toolbar to add an object — choose from a catalog of real stars, planets, and other bodies.
3. Tap an object to view its properties: mass, radius, temperature. You can adjust the parameters and watch how they affect orbits.
4. Control time with the speed-up and slow-down buttons.
5. Open Scenarios — load a pre-built system or start from an empty sandbox.
6. Experiment: crash planets together, create binary stars, feed a black hole!
Space enthusiasts and fans of physics sandboxes who enjoy experimenting with gravitational forces. Anyone who dreams of being a cosmic architect will enjoy testing how different stars and planets interact in a persistent, simulated environment without needing any complex installation or registration processes to begin creating.
Sandbox Universe saves your current active simulation automatically so you can resume exactly where you left off.
Yes, you can add a black hole from the object catalog and watch it consume nearby planets that drift too close.
Sandbox Universe is designed to run smoothly on both desktop and mobile web browsers without needing an app store download.
