App Details
NXSand is a falling-sand sandbox game for Nintendo Switch homebrew. Paint sand, water, lava, fire, smoke, plants, ice, oil, acid, glass, metal, wood, and more on a live pixel grid, then watch the materials fall, flow, burn, melt, dissolve, and react. The game supports Joy-Con and touchscreen controls, a material ring, brush size controls, quick save, and up to three saved worlds.
The simulation runs on the GPU using OpenGL ES, with a Margolus-style cellular automaton fast material updates. NXSand is designed mainly for Switch, with desktop builds available for testing and development.
