About this game

The Powder Toy is now on Android! This time it is officially supported, completely free, and slightly optimized for touchscreen devices instead of the traditional mouse and keyboard Powder Toy is usually run with.

The Powder Toy is a free physics sandbox game, which simulates air pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and a countless number of interactions between different substances! The game provides you with various building materials, liquids, gases and electronic components which can be used to construct complex machines, guns, bombs, realistic terrains and almost anything else. You can then destroy them and watch cool explosions, add intricate wirings, play with little stickmen or operate your machine. You can browse and play thousands of different saves made by the community or upload your own – we welcome your creations!

The game is very resource intensive. A powerful phone is recommended to play it properly. Button sizes have been increased in many places, but you might need a large phone screen or a tablet in order to have a better experience. If you find a feature that is hard to use on a touchscreen, or is absent from the Android version of the game, leave some feedback by clicking the bug icon in game or making a post on the forums.

It is fully compatible with the PC version of the game, saves made in one version can be loaded in the other.

Honestly this game is insane. I have never seen so many options to choose from. At first, I thought I was looking at all of it. But there is a scroll wheel with like 12 different TYPES of elements, with each having either a full list of elements or even a scrollable list of elements. Also being honest. I have no clue how to use 90% of the elements in this game. Every element has different reactions to every other element. This game goes DEEP with its logic. I dont have enough letters to explain

Create anything from CPU microarchitecture to enormous fusion reactions. This application is seriously underrated for all the physics it simulates. Plus, it's free, with no ads, and completely open source! Try it and see what you can create or view one of the tens of thousands of uploads created by others.

What’s new

Update to TPT 99.3

Important App Update: Many people have reported critical bugs on certain Samsung phones with cursor lag. This update does not fix those. Thankfully, a new complete Android rewrite is in the works that will fix all these bugs (already tested and confirmed), and bring in a better UI. We hope to have it ready sometime in 2025.
