Description
If you had the power, how would you create the solar system? What would be the size of each planet or star? And how would you place them in orbit? If you are interested in Astronomy and looking for a powerful yet easy to use 3 dimensional space sand box app to create and simulate a whole new galaxy with realistic physics rules, then you’ve come to the right place. Orbit Sandbox Universe, the 3D sand box game, provides you the ultimate power to explore the infinite space and simulate your own space full of different planets, gas giants, and stars.
In this gravity simulator app, you get to customize literally any aspect of these particles to simulate and design your very own solar system in this sand box. Once you are satisfied with your customized solar system (or any other combination of particles, planets, and stars), you get to easily add it to your collection, take a screenshot and share it with the world.
The game comes with a clean and neat design and the 3D simulation is so smooth that you won’t feel any difficulties or lags when bombarding your planets, or applying any condition to them. And make sure not to take the realistic gravity lensing effect as granted when looking at a black hole. It’s just fascinating.
Is this Orbit Sandbox Easy to Use?
Is this 3D galaxy sand box with realistic physics simulation powerful enough to create and design different planets, gas giants and stars? The answer is a BIG yes! But are the simulation tools easy to use? The answer is even a BIGGER yes! The user interface is so friendly, that you’ll get used to it after going through the step-by-step tutorial and trying available tools for a few times. After that, you just need to use your imagination and be creative to form some unique pocket galaxies with gravity simulator based on physics rules. If you are going to redesign our lovely solar system in our galaxy, you’ll have access to all the planets (mars, moon, earth, mercury etc …) and you have the power to unlock new worlds by meeting the right conditions, colliding with the right objects, and altering mass and sea level while keeping the temperature stable. To smash stuff together and create new planets, make sure to crash the right ones together.
Tip: To raise the sea level, hit a planet with ice meteors, and use rock meteors to lower the sea level.
Orbit Sandbox Main Features at a Glance:
• Wonderful 3D graphics with smooth space simulation
• Super user-friendly interface with easy to learn gameplay
• Step-by-step and detailed tutorial
• Huge variety of particles, procedural planets, gas giants and stars
• Ultimate customization options for your creations
• Gravity simulator with realistic physics rules
• Create Solar System with the tiniest details
• Take screenshots of your universe and share it with family and friends
• Unlock new achievements
• Interactive journal to track your creations

So, Orbit Sandbox Universe offers everything you should expect from such 3D gravity and universe sandbox games and it even sets the bar to a higher level by offering smooth particle simulator, realistic physics rules, user-friendly interface, a wide range of different particles, planets and stars, and a lot more.
No matter you are serious in Astronomy stuff or you just want to have fun creating some beautiful infinite universes, we’ve got you covered. You just need to take your time, select from wide range of stunning particles, stars, and planets, specify their positions and how they should rotate, and last but not the least decide which planets should collide to destroy and create new worlds.

Planet X/Nibiru simulation would be interesting also maybe asteroid belt and ort cloud
2025-01-23
Very fun
That’s all
2025-01-12
Very good
I like the details and design it seems very real I would buy if u like astronomy
2025-01-07
Good game! A few suggestions.
Auto orbit please!!! Also, more phases to the intelligent species. Maybe reach a space age where they can lands on other planets. This could be as simple as the nearest planet to a highly developed one will have the life effect except the notification would be “The people of (advanced planet) have landed and colonised this world!” Also city lights and more types of satellites please!

Space
Brilliant game getting to know the solar system and space itself
2024-11-17
Great game but some issues
I love this because it’s relaxing and fun but I wish that when you sort the orbit of each planet it can be more more perfect and less elongated
2024-11-16
Great game!
I enjoy this amazing game! Every thing is good but you could add planet views so you can see collisions or more on the planet!!

2024-03-16
This is a great app, but i have suggestions!
this is the perfect app! i have some suggestions tho, you should add a new option called “heat” for the stars and when you increase it the habitable zone bigger and when decrease it makes the habitable zone smaller, also make the black holes bigger and add a neutron star, this could be good enough for the next update!
2024-02-26
Fun but frustrating
Fun to just throw planets at each other but not when you can’t get the right orbit to sustain life
2024-02-17
Best game ever
Whenever I’m bored I play this game no ads and infinite planets I can use to crash into others ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

need fixing
2023-12-07
I know you probs stop updating but…
I think it would be cool to make it so that when you unlock a planet and you press it you get the option to use its moons because I would like to have a better chance of getting a correct sol system but you don’t have to but if you do choose to do this then take your time - jimmy
2023-08-11
Son loves this
He has been playing this game constantly for days and loves it. Though he doesn’t know how unlock earth, which is frustrating him. Four stars
2023-06-02
Fun and interesting
I mostly like it, I’ve experimented with things quite a lot and found the game glitches out due to some of my actions (sending wormholes through black holes or the opposite… not sure… it glitched) Still getting used to the physics, but am enjoying thoroughly!
2023-04-17
Great game
If you have only mobile devices I would recommend this game. Making it so you unlock planets and stars makes a good challenge that you can do! But if you want something realistic I would recommend Universe Sandbox 2
2023-04-04
Good game + suggestion
You can add black dwarves, you can wait till white dwarves cool down or use the freeze ray to speed up the process.
2023-03-23
Good game
Has very good graphics and the gameplay is good. The earth and other planets even have accurate elevation so when you add water, the land changes like it would in real life. Very cool, I recommend.
2023-01-29
Really good game but I have a few suggestions
The game is really good and relaxing but there’s a few ways to make it better. First, when you explode a Blue Giant, it may become a neutron star or black hole. The neutron star will turn into a black hole if it smashes into another neutron star. Second, make nebulae last longer rather than disappear after a short time. Nebulae won’t suddenly despawn in real life
2023-01-11
Very Good game but need suggestions
This game is amazing but I have suggestions,please add Eris,please add red dwarfs stars,make metiors smaller,add Thiea and please fix the way that when you spawn a gas giant,it doesn't disrupt other rocky planets when you are making a solar system even though the gas giant is far away from the rocky planets!
2022-12-11
GREAT! But there’s one thing…
I absolutely love this game but can you make moon orbits stable please? Whenever I put a moon into orbit it just crashes into its parent planet or wonders off please fix it! Kind regards -Tyler
2022-11-11
It’s a good substitute.
its good and its a great substitute if you dont have Universe Sandbox 2, cool graphics but the most fun thing is to constantly smash white dwarfs constantly or make them orbit around a blackhole.
2022-07-30
Best game out there
Great game. Bought it loved it. Can’t wait for the updates. Gravity plays a great part and would like to be able create star dust clouds on a light year measurement to gain perspective. Fascinatingly deep.
2022-07-08
I love this game!
I just want a few more stuff and the game will be excellent. Please make people be able to make their own planet like colour craters rings and maybe life? So please add more planets dwarf stars black holes and make your own planet and the game will be perfect. PLEASE CONCIDER THIS!
from Ty
2022-06-22
Some changes needed
It's a brilliant game been waiting for a game like this for ages but you need to change some things like if a planet collides as someone else said make there like a hole or something and make you be able to stand on the planet/star thanks
2022-06-02
Ok but has some problems
This game is not bad, it’s like us2 but there is this bug where nothing works the menu button just blinks to say you pressed it but doesn’t open the menu also make orbits easier to do
One last thing, how do you get the solar system planets?
2022-04-17
Can’t stop playing
This game is too fun to stop playing, I made a planet bigger then the star it’s orbiting there’s so many things you can do in this game 10/10!
2021-11-06
Great game for its price
It’s surprisingly realistic for a mobile game and allows players to learn how stars and planets form, you can also let your imagination run wild and create chaotic star systems or mess around with the example star systems that the game gives you
2021-08-21
Good game
Wonderful game you have it’s really realistic but the controls are kinda jacked up please fix the controls
2021-08-11
Excellent game!
I love this game - I’ve not been playing long but it is brilliant so far, so much fun creating solar systems and stuff :) my only issue is that I’m struggling to keep some planets orbiting correctly, but it’s not an issue that would be worth dropping a star for. Overall, it’s a fun game with a couple of hiccups (that may even be due to my limited time playing the game!)
2021-06-10
Best space game ever
I got this game like ten minutes ago and I already love it and I’ve unlocked so many planets stars and a black hole so I’ll play it every day thank you for creating this awesome game!
2021-02-22
Best game there is but few problems....
So this is the best game there is😄😄😄 it’s really good sooo the problems are 1. Why do planets crash into the stars? 2. Planets change when they are super close to a star soooo please do an update about no gravity to stop planets from crashing into stars I know it’s the full version which is better than the normal one with planet limits 3. I found a glitch and when ever I put water on a planet it just vanishes and it turns into a lava planet 😡😡😡 soooo please fix the glitch and I will be fine.
2020-12-21
This is a good game
It’s a good game because you can make any thing you want and do challenges and make stars also make planets orbit the star make nebula’s and theres prestents and Christmas stuff such as snow globe and presents and the graphics are amazing
2020-12-09
Sooooo addictive
I love it but it does take time to learn the controls. I spent what I thought was little time on it but I looked at the clock and I had actually spent 2 hours on it! overall I love it.
2020-10-21
Great Game
Fun to play and explore all the features, especially making stories about each planet.👍
2020-10-20
Harleys reaview
This game is amazing for children and adults, it is really fun, it’s good for your children if there learning about space you can unlock lots of planets I have been playing this game for about an hour now and the owners of this game or not even telling me to write this but I’ve been playing for about 2 hours and it is amazing g and I am sooooo addicted to it so download this game ASAP it’s soo good
2020-02-13
Amazing
A very unique kind of universe game, a few bugs here and there and it’s quite difficult to do some things but other than that I am really enjoying this game!
2020-02-06
🤗
This game was really cool and educational , my 11 year old loves to play on it every day and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes space
2020-01-01
Great
A great game, a lot like universe simulator, only wish there could be more activity with the sentient life, like see them in rockets flying to other planets and stuff, also, make it a little easier for planets to orbit stars in the habitable zone, I have to lock them in place to form life but other than that, really enjoying it
2019-11-05
Incredible!
At first I found the controls a tad confusing but after playing around with it for a while I got the hang of it and I must admit this game is very enjoyable. I originally downloaded it for my 7 year old brother who is fascinated with the universe but I’ve found myself playing it much more than he does!
2019-08-08
Can’t get all the achievements.
This was a great game but I find it really hard to get intelligent life. Because the planet orbits do not function properly, it is extremely hard to keep a planet in the habitable zone. There needs to be a way to make a perfect orbit so I can complete this achievement. I would not recommend this game if you want to create life in your pocket galaxy.
2019-07-22
Sooo fun
I love space and now to be able to explore the galaxy and also find out what happens if you place a second sun in our solar system is the best thing in the world
2019-06-15
The game is a great way to get the best planets
I am addicted to this sim. Can’t truly fault it on much at all.
But it would be nice to have a tool or overlay of some sort to assist with making different orbits. And to make the features on the planets a little more diverse.
Keep it up and cannot wait to see what you have planned for this app!!
2019-04-22
Great game!
I LOVE this game but making a planet orbit a star in the way I want it is really difficult could you please add a planet orbit paint tool so We can make planets orbit in the way we want them to or so they can just spin around in circles somewhere in space cause it can.
Please consider this!
Don’t stop working on this fantabulous game!
2019-04-17
This is a really cool app
I love space and physics so this game makes a ton of things possible. They could make the size and mass a bit more controllable but overall I love this game. On Earth, we can’t witness massive things like blue giants and black holes but you can see what happens on this game. I hope to see this game improve and expand and I am definitely keeping this.
2019-03-02
Things that you should add to the game
You should add the dwarf planets such as Makemake and make a planet made out of Diamond planet and some space ships for people on habitual planets to other. I hope you consider my request.
2019-02-02
Awesome but...
So the game works great I can do whatever without any glitches but here’s something that’s been going on for months now which you still haven’t fixed and that’s that when you create a universe and you place a star and a planet to orbit it, the planets shadow is normal and will move as the planet orbits the star. Well when you exit that universe and enter it again, the planets shadow is messed up and is only a fin strip of black on one side of the planet. It’s hard to explain but the planets shadow is all messed up when you enter that game again. Please fix it
2018-12-03
Absolutely phenomenal
this is the perfect universe sandbox money or not no other iPad/iPhone game could be so perfect
The only thing is I don’t get how to unlock the wormhole apart from that amazing. And that’s a full stop☝🏻
2018-08-24
Using the in app screenshot.
For the hell of it, I pressed the camera button. I had developed a complicated system with small planets orbiting bigger planets in turn orbiting a sun.
The in app camera + share to photos instantly closes the app and all progress is lost. 🤓
2018-04-20
Very good game 100% recommended!
The game is very good for a mobile device and I love the most recent update but they could make this wonderful game even better by adding things like more god powers, more realistic scale and impact craters. But all in all you should defenetly buy this very solid game.
2018-01-06
Great game after I figured it out
So after paying for the full version I was really frustrated when I couldn’t get planets to orbit my stars so I could produce life... truth be told I gave up on the game for a few days but after figuring out the way the mechanics work I absolutely fell in love with this game!
Would definitely recommend if you’re willing to persevere and figure out how everything works
2017-12-25
AWESOME GAME BUT I HAVE SUGGESTIONS
This game is great! I love how realistic the stars look! I think you could add black stars (black stars are really small stars with a low mass) that would be great! Also please add more real planets and moons and asteroids and stars and dwarf planets! That would make this the most amazing mobile game ever. You could also add craters to planets after collisions and gas deformations for gas giants. Also when a large planet collides with a star in real life the star gets really bright and goes mental because of all the new material so you could add that. Thanks and carry on making your amazing game and please consider these suggestions!

I LOVE THIS GAME....but...
When I am playing the game and doing my work everything just stops like if I won’t to click save game IT DOESN'T DO IT when I want to choose a new planet IT DOESN'T DO IT and no Earth doesn’t develop life for me I don’t know why but it just.....NO...so..pleeeeaaaaseeee FIX IT! 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😢😢😢😢😢😤😤😤😩😩😩😫😫😫😫😡❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
2017-10-03
Undecided
It’s good for a phone app. Interesting bit I get frustrated with the interface and perhaps it’s the lack of understanding of how to get a planet to stay in the Goldilocks zone around the sun? However if you like space and the solar system this will entertain for hours.
2017-09-25
Awesome little sim
I’m still getting the hang of it but if you like space, you’ll like this. It’s cool. Be good to see continued updates with new content to keep it going. Could develop and go even further with this app. Nice work.
2017-07-28
The best game ever but one thing
The only few things that is not that right is there should be particles of water being shot at the planet instead of icy asteroids and there also should be White holes and particles of helium hydrogen nitrogen co2 and oxygen please thanks for reading ✌🏻️✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🤘😉🙂
2017-06-29
Good game
This game is quite fun but could do with a few more impact textures. Could also use more detail for how to unlock the planets and other celestial bodies. Also i feel you should able to select your own colours for the planets instead of choosing from a set few and likewise with the stars. The aesthetics of the black hole could also be improved where the lensing effect could be implemented and apparition disks added when matter is pulled from certain celestial bodies. But these facts aside this is a great game and ive spent hours amusing myself!!!
2017-06-13
More than a game.
Into my 3rd solid hour now and ironically this review will unlock our beloved 3rd rock from the sun. This app has me mesmerised. The difficulty in setting your terrestrial planet from the yellow star helps you to appreciate how delicate our balance of life is. With the soothing sci fi sound track, this will provide all ages many awe inspiring hours of fun.
2017-05-10
Great game needs better controls
This is a great game I've been waiting ages for something like this for ages and now after the new update which it's even better
