UPDATE OUT NOW: EXPLORE THE PHYSICS OF LIQUID LAVA IN RAGDOLL SANDBOX GAME 'MELON SANDBOX'
The free-to-play mobile game has amassed over 150M downloads; today, players can enjoy the latest lava update.
LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, 31 MARCH 2026 | PlayDucky, the publisher behind the globally successful ragdoll physics game, Melon Sandbox, is excited to announce the game's fiery new update. In addition to acid pits and underwater caves, players can now explore, create, and cause chaos in two new lava-themed maps. Join the robust playerbase and try it for free on iOS, Android, or browser.
Explore Two New Meteoric Maps
In response to overwhelming requests from the community, players can finally put their sprites to the test on the highly anticipated lava maps! Experiment with a variety of 'hot' new features to cause more explosive chaos. Try to overcome flimsy physics and reach the top of the new volcano map, but be mindful of lava bombs that may hinder your ascent. The lava's high heat and density will slowly impact your items, so watch vehicles and artillery sizzle and incinerate before your eyes. Be mindful of flyovers, as well, that may be affected by the scorching smoke rising from the crater. On the lava pool map, certain items won't survive the high temperatures, so be strategic with your materials if you want to make it across. Instead, try flinging enemy sprites into the pit and watch them ignite.
Making Money With Mods
Unleash your red-hot creativity in Melon Sandbox's Editor, where players can create unique experiences to share with the community. Today's update introduces lava tiles, and players can use them–alongside other environmental tiles such as water and acid–to create custom maps. When your build is ready, publish it to the game's storefront, where users can exchange Mells, in-game currency, to purchase your mod. Creators receive payouts with every mod download; in 2025, PlayDucky paid over $1M USD to its creators, establishing itself as one of the largest UGC cash-out systems in mobile gaming.
