Tag: The SandBox »

Pixowl has been working tirelessly for quite some time now, what with all the monthly updates to The Sandbox along with several other projects. It doesn’t look like they plan on slowing down anytime soon, either.

Last week, in addition to the news of the Farmer's update, it was also revealed that The Sandbox is rapidly approaching 2.0 status. This milestone (which should be ready within the next three to four months) will include updated features such as an all new interface, reworked campaigns, and will be in HD just like its PC counterpart. This means it’s going to look better, and give you a bigger place to play in.

The Sandbox EDU was also on display, which will be a premium paid version of the freemium classic that’s been specifically tweaked to function as an educational tool. The plan is for parents, educators, and kids to use it as a way to study things like physics, electricity, hot/cold, and so on. All of the elements will be open from the start, and will be restricted to those that actually have some educational value (i.e. no zombies). The Sandbox EDU should be available in the App Store a little before “back to school” time.

Finally there’s Garfield: Survival of the Fattest, which is due out in September. This one’s sort of like Greedy Grub [GET LINK] but with Garfield characters. You’ll get to complete missions for characters from the comic series, build stuff, collect resources, and even take part in three different mini-games. All in the name of getting the giant orange cat to lose weight. Or rather, to help the giant orange cat avoid losing weight.

There's a bumper new update for sandbox adventure, The Sandbox, with the new Farmer's Campaign offering 15 additional levels.

The update includes six new elements such as the Tractor to help farmers harvest quicker and the Chicken that can be raised and converted to food, or hunted by the new Fox element. New blueprints are also available, including the Bullseye for aspiring archers and the Chicken Pen, because all chickens need somewhere to live!

The Sandbox is free and available now on the App Store.

Update includes:
+ New campaign (15 levels): the Country Life Campaign

+ Improvements on the Humans:
- The Hunter will be able to shoot animals and place Traps!
- The Farmer will raise chickens and convert them to food
- After collecting a certain amount of specific resources (food, aluminite, etc), you can create special buildings with which your humans will interact with emoticons (with a brand new UI)

+ 6 New elements:
- The Tractor to help the farmer to harvest quicker
- The Chicken, the Chicks and the Egg will be raised and converted to food or hunted by the fox
- The Fox the worst enemy of the chickens!
- The Crow will fly around and eat the crops
- The Scarecrow will drive away the crows
- The E-drain to build advanced irrigation system drove by electricity

+ 2 New blueprints
- Bullseye for all the wannabe archer
- The Chicken Pen to raise your future meat

The newest update has arrived for The Sandbox, bringing with it a new campaign and all you need to start a life in the Country.

The new campaign, entitled "Sandmix Vol. 1," contains a mix of gaming, pixel art, music, action, and puzzle levels across the nine it contains. Players will likely have to use their skills and their brain, and maybe even both, to complete them all.

Meanwhile, two new job powders will provide you with the chance to domesticate your worlds. The Farmer has the ability to plant crops and harvest hay after they've fully grown, whilst the Fisherman can (as you'd likely expect) catch fish. To help this process along, Corn, Pumpkins, and Wheat crops have been added alongside new blueprints for Haystacks, Silos, Barns, and Windmills.

As if all of the above wasn't enough, the 'Robocalypse' campaign is now available to all players.

The Sandbox is available now and is free to download.

The Sandbox, the-true-to-its-name sandbox adventure, has just received a new update. The new update adds in a new Ecology Campaign with 20 new levels, and new disaster elements.

The Sandbox is available for free (with in-app purchases) on the App Store.

The Sandbox, a game for iOS that is - appropriately - a sandbox, has just received even more sandbox-y goodness. The version 1.800 update, titled "The Sninobi Adventure," features 17 Japanese-themed levels as part of the new Shinobi Adventure Campaign. Within these new levels, you'll encounter many obstacles including lava pits, challenging puzzles, and hordes of Imps.

But along with any "The Sandbox" adventure mode update also comes many new elements for you to play with - and to help you on your oriental adventure. These include a new Sun Stone that can be used to create a movement detection laser, smoke bombs, and even bamboo bushes.

The new trailer is available below, and you can grab the new update for The Sandbox right now.

The Sandbox has been going strong on the App Store ever since its release, and it doesn't really seem to be losing any momentum. The new update includes a few notable additions such as a free campaign made up of user-created content, the ability to search user-created worlds by category (pixel art, music, etc), new daily quests, and prism and laser elements. Oh, and controllable avatars (including a ninja). So on top of all the arting and physicsing, users will also be able to create their own custom platforming stages.

The Sandbox's new update will be going live this Thursday, 2/13.

The Sandbox goes retro in its latest update that brings 12 new levels featuring past video games. The update also lets users create their own retro game by using 8 new elements like the Laser Bike, Intelli Bike, Sneaker, Shooter, Game Wall, Game Points, Area Multi, and Attacker. It also adds two new blueprints for the holiday season (a Christmas Tree and Christmas Gifts), and new social features that let users record video replays and share them straight to YouTube.

An alien invasion is underway in The Sandbox, bringing 10 brand-new levels along with it. These levels take players through space to an uncharted galaxy where they can drive their lunar landers through the many hazards of a hostile alien planet. It comes with 7 new alien elements for players to discover and learn about, and spacey sounds to ring their ears.

The Sandbox gets a new update that brings us all a Robocalypse campaign full of 10 new levels to explore. The update also adds 5 new elements to the gameplay, including the ability to control the behavior of robots with magic powders that put them into berserk and sentinel mode.

The robots have arrived to destroy all humanity! So, you better join the resistance and fight to survive!

You can now hit the road with the new update for The Sandbox. The free-to-play game now has vehicles; including a sports car to drive, a truck to carry things around town, and a tank for if things get a little crazy. The update also adds new contraptions and blueprints, along with new levels for the zombie campaign. If you aren't one of the 5 million people to download the game, make sure you speed on over and see what this world building is all about, especially now with the new sports car! VROOM VROOM!

Hmm, can I take my tank onto a battlefield that's full of zombies?

Pocket Gamer reports that The Sandbox has been improved with a small, but powerful new update. Players will find themselves with two new elements to use for quickly destroying on-screen creations, the Meteorite and Bomb.

The update also adds three blueprints (wizard magic tower, futuristic tower, and giant robot), additional Facebook integration, and more ways of earning free mana.

Now go create some shooting stars!

Zombies have entered The Sandbox!

In the latest update, players will discover 15 new survival levels in the new Zombie Attack campaign. These walking dead creatures hunt and eat humans, turning them into other zombies, and it's your job to track them down throughout the city and stop them. However, there is also a new magic powder that turns your humans into zombies, if you choose.

The Sandbox receives an update and adds a new campaign, Lasers & Pipes, that features 10 levels. On top of that, players will notice 5 additional levels in the Dinosaurs campaign and in the Pixel Art campaign. The update also adds 7 new elements and new musical instruments, including the guitar, bass, drums and trumpet.

7 new elements: Laser, E. Laser, Gas Sensor, Insulator, Pump, Pipe & Drain

Fixed Crash Bug of Human Campaign - Day 5 - finish it now!
The Contraptions campaign is now FREE for all players!

Free games again? Man, I’m really starting to get tired of--who am I kidding? Games! For free! Isn’t that awesome?? This week we’re a little all over the place with genres and content. Something for almost everybody, and it’s all free.

The Sandbox - Come on now, this one shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s a shockingly impressive sandbox (har-har) game that allows players to grow their own environments, and even simple machinery, or destroy it as they see fit. Lots of elements to unlock that play off of each other in interesting ways and a virtually limitless potential for creation make it a must-have even without accounting for the whole being free thing.

Pawns Unleashed - I’m more than a little excited for Dragon’s Dogma, which is due out in less than a week (!!!). Of course I plan to use this location-based treasure hunter fill the (admittedly small) gap, but it can certainly keep people busy even after the console release.

Cuboid Free - I’ve always wanted to check out this game, but never got around to downloading it from PSN. Now that I can try it on my iPhone for free, I don’t really have an excuse to avoid this cube-turning puzzler anymore.

Quest of Magic: An Adventure in Azoth - Dungeon crawlers? Yes. Free dungeon crawlers? Oh absolutely. A free dungeon crawler made in Mac Gamemaker? Well, it’s a bit questionable but I’m open to just about anything. Especially if it’s free!

Rage of Bahamut - Gotta love a free-to-play iOS collectible card game. Especially one with gorgeous artwork and daily updates. Having a choice between single and multiplayer is just the icing on a very delicious-looking and affordable cake. Mmmmm… cake…

Witch Wars - The App Store is no stranger to match-three games, but this is a match-three game about witches. Witches who fight each other. Although what interests me most is the promise of constant character unlocks, multiple modes, and individual (and upgradable) skills that help to set each witch apart.
