Sandboxels Recap #2 - Fools, Cities, and Mods
Everything you missed from the Sandboxels community and developer over the past few weeks.
In this issue of Sandboxels Recap, we travel all over the Internet to see what players have been up to, along with some updates from the developer!
𤥠April Foolsâ
On Monday, the âMultiversal Updateâ was released. In case you were confused, this was the second year that Sandboxels received an April Foolsâ Day update.
Many of you enjoyed the features, some of which may be added officially! These kinds of updates give developers an opportunity to experiment with things that otherwise wouldnât fit.
Luckily, you can still enable the update as a mod! Hereâs how:
Go to Sandboxels and press the Mods button in the toolbar.
In the text box, type âfools24.jsâ exactly, without the quotes.
Press Enter, then refresh your page.
You can remove it in the same Mod Manager if youâre done having fun!
Next, letâs see what you allâve been up toâŚ
đď¸ City Save Contest
We held the first ever Sandboxels Save Contest, with the theme âDestructible Citiesâ, to go with the recent Natural Disasters Update.
There were many, many great submissions, but unfortunately we had to pick a single winner because of how contests work. We judged these saves based on attention to detail and experience when destroying them. The winner isâŚ
This bustling city by Guinea of Pigs (@guinea_of_pig) features incredible detail, including a movie theater, mall, skyway, subway, Sandbloxian flags, and even a tiny Human statue. (Although, this one has armsâŚ)
Please check out the gallery of our other favorites! Everyone an amazing job and weâd pick a lot if we could.
