We’ve added some of the most requested features EVER in this large update to Sandboxels. Let’s go through the most promising ones!

Undo & Redo

Have you ever misclicked, used the wrong element, or just regretted a decision? You can now easily go back multiple brush strokes with the Undo and Redo buttons!

And yes, we refreshed the Control Bar with all new pixel art icons! This makes room for these new controls, and more to come.

Editing Tools

We added 5 new tools to make editing the canvas easier.

The first 4 are all related: Select, Copy, Cut, Paste. These are pretty self-explanatory if you’ve used any image editor before.

You can also apply many tools to selections, including the Erase tool to delete every pixel within it.

We added a LOT of keyboard shortcuts to help power users edit super fast. Many of them should be familiar and intuitive:

Hold Alt and drag on canvas to quickly start a selection.
Copy: Ctrl + C
Cut: Ctrl + X
Paste: Ctrl + V
Move: Ctrl + M (Cut and Paste)
Duplicate: Ctrl + D (Copy and Paste)
Erase: Ctrl + Backspace
Flip: X (Horizontal) or Y (Vertical)
Rotate: Ctrl + < / Ctrl + >
Undo: Ctrl + Z
Redo: Ctrl + Shift + Z / Ctrl + Y

The last tool, Mask, lets you hide pixels behind a Fuse, which can be revealed by shocking it.

Finally for editing, we added a toggleable grid display to line up pixels easier!

Elements & Reactions

Besides tools, we added 3 new elements and a LOT of recipes to make existing ones.

Cinnabar, a mineral made from Sulfur and Mercury.
Sandstone, which is replacing the Packed Sand element.
Spice, a new powder in Foods that can be used to make Sauce.

New reactions let you produce Plant, Wood, Bone, Sand, Dirt, Oil, Hydrogen, Vinegar, Bleach, Milk, Primordial Soup, DNA, Bird, Incense, and Molasses. There are also more nuclear fusion reactions.

Did you know Alcohol can basically cook an Egg in real life? Well we added that too.

Search Revamp

The Info Panel has been transformed into the all-new Search Panel!

It shows much more info on elements, and in a much cleaner way. On top of that, you can also search for elements, and quickly select the closest match at anytime by pressing Enter.

We’ve merged the “Element Select” button into the new Search Panel. For fans of that feature, your muscle memory should work the exact same.

More Changes

Lots of random UI improvements here and there.
Fixed 41 bugs.
Removed Grass Seed.
Rays can be cast from Cloners in all 4 directions.
Pushers can more consistently push pixels upward.
Translations for Catalan, Danish, and Tagalog.
Bees and Spiders scare Humans.
