I love these kinds of sandbox games, Orb Farm is super nice to have it running directly in the browser for a little procrastination break. Although my favorite is probably The Powder Toy [0], I've been following this project for years.

The guy that created orb.farm[0] is the same guy behind sandspiel.club[1], which is a browser-based Rust/WebGL powdertoy-like implementation. I added it to my phone's home screen so my kids have been playing with it for years!

You should check out Noita on Steam. :)


Windows only, unlike Powder Toy.


Works well in proton


Do you happen to know if powdertoy is using the GPU for the simulation or do they manage it all on the CPU?
