Pixel Rain

A chill falling-sand pixel physics sandbox. Paint with hundreds of interactive materials — water, lava, acid, crystals, plants and more — discover recipes, build your own elements in the Workshop, and watch it all react in real time. No goals. No pressure. Just pixels.

このゲームについて

Paint pixels. Watch chaos unfold.

Pixel Rain is a relaxing falling-sand physics sandbox where every cell on a giant grid obeys its own rules. Pour water, drop sand, ignite lava, grow crystals — then sit back and watch it all interact.

There's no campaign, no fail state, no pressure. Just you, a canvas full of physics-driven pixels, and a lot of satisfying emergent behaviour.

Hundreds of Materials to Paint With

  • Sand — piles and settles naturally

  • Water — flows, pools, and reacts with almost everything

  • Lava — turns water into steam, melts ice, ignites everything nearby

  • Acid — slowly corrodes stone, metal, and crystal

  • Oil — floats on water, highly flammable

  • Crystal — grows from water and ice into spreading formations

  • Plant — feeds on water and spreads organically

  • Plasma — decays into sparks over time

  • Void — silently erases everything it touches

  • Magnet — pulls nearby metal cells toward it

  • Plus: Paint, Slime, Foam, Snow, Ice, Smoke, Spark, Stone, Metal

  • …and 400+ more — from concrete, salt and sawdust to charged crystal, living wood and brimstone. Combine any two materials and you might discover a brand-new one.

Features

  • 60 FPS physics simulation on a dynamic grid up to ~620×480 cells

  • 400+ paintable materials and brush presets with scatter, sparkle, and jitter tuning

  • 6 customizable quick-slot brushes

  • Adjustable gravity, flow speed, brush size, and zoom

  • 3 procedurally synthesized music modes: Rain, Magma, and Aurora

  • Procedural sound effects keyed to each material — no audio files, all generated in real time

  • One-button MP4 clip export (R to record, R to save)

  • Showcase cinematic mode (T) — the camera finds the most active region of your canvas and records it automatically

  • Save and load your canvas, synced across devices with Steam Cloud

  • 100+ Steam achievements with progress bars and in-game toasts

  • 50+ discoverable recipes — combine two materials to alchemize a third

  • Steam Workshop — design your own materials, brushes and animations with built-in editors (plus a DevMode code editor), then share them and subscribe to community creations

  • Built-in tutorial to get you started

  • Custom color palette and lobby theming

Early Access

Pixel Rain is in Early Access. The core simulation is fully playable and stable. Expect new materials, brush tools, and quality-of-life improvements as development continues. Feedback welcome.
