What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our game is in early access because we want to make a game for people, and therefore there should be players in it offering their ideas and who will participate in the development of the game.
This is also due to the fact that the game is at an early stage of development and therefore everything in it can change and it may not be stable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We can't say for sure a date for leaving Early Access. This will likely happen within the next couple of years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the release version of the game, we will add more items, mechanisms, maps. We will also improve existing items.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the moment we have almost 100 different items, a system of logical connections, open space, swimming physics and much more about which you can learn from the main page of our game in the store.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“After the release of the release version, we will not change the price of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will conduct various events and polls to develop the game. For example, adding things and their design, which we will take as a basis. You can leave your suggestions on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/sEHjp6asuw”

About This Game

PixPhys is our debut sandbox game project with physics simulation elements. The main occupation in the game is the design of various equipment: from a cart with a jet engine to a spacecraft with an automatic flight mode.


Surely in your childhood you played with the sets of a young engineer, assembling electrical circuits of varying complexity. PixPhys, in fact, is just such a set. An important feature of each set is the number of parts in it.
At the moment, there are more than 100 unique parts in the game, among which you will find: various types of propellers and engines, lighting, explosives, fuel system elements, and more.



After completing the design of the mechanical part of your new creation, you will need to set up its circuitry, which will control everything. To do this, you need to use our easy-to-learn programming system.
The programming process in PixPhys is presented not in the form of classical code, but in the form of nodes, the inputs and outputs of which must be interconnected.
At the moment, the game has more than 60 nodes that are not tied to details (mostly mathematical operations and functions).

Data types:
  • Boolean - enabled/disabled.
  • Numerical – number.
  • String - text.
  • Vector - 2D vector.
  • Composite - any type of data.



To complicate the gameplay, we have added simplified simulations of electricity, fuel, transmission to the game, so you will have to solve the problems of lack or transportation of fuel, power generation, laying shafts and transmission elements in narrow spaces.



In the game world, there are simplified laws of aerodynamics, the buoyancy force of the liquid, the change in the strength of gravitational fields with climb, which makes it close to reality. Also in the game there is a change in the time of day and a simulation of weather conditions.



Once the existing content is no longer enough, you can install custom modifications that will expand the possibilities of the game or, on the contrary, complicate it. To create modifications, the C# programming language is used, and if you have any difficulties with creating your modification, then you can contact us on Discord.
