Sandbox Mode is where experimental features suggested by the community are tested without affecting the main game. New features will be added in an ongoing basis and can include crazy ideas that may not be included in the main game but are fun to mess around with.
You can unlock Sandbox Mode by beating Arena Level 5
Certain features in Sandbox Mode will only be available after beating the Arena level they first appear in (i.e. flames can only be used in sandbox after beating Arena Level 6).

1. Choose any amount of any type of enemy to spawn
2. Adjust shotgun range
3. Adjust shotgun reload time
4. Turn environmental hazards on or off (some are only unlockable after beating certain levels)
5. Unlimited player health
6. Unlimited fuel for Chainsword

You can suggest new features to be added in Sandbox Mode such as new enemy types, weapons, and abilities in the Discord server.

Here's a roadmap of the things I'm working on for TICKDOWN.

In progress:

• Improving appearance of the Clock
  
• Improving the new game sequence
  
• Enemy corpses remaining active instead of dissolving after a few seconds
  
• Re-doing the "Status Control" room in Level 1

Future work:

• Replacing Meteor Storm Earth special ability with something more interesting - likely going to be something involving Magnetizing earth projectiles and enemies
  
• Re-doing appearance of all Menu UIs
  
• More blood
  
• Using blood for Water abilities
  
• Lightning Bolt Aftershock + Nuke Beam combo should Microwave/implode enemies
  
• Change how Black Holes are spawned - likely will be changed to spawn after a Whirlpool Dunk
  
• Hiskarls should have a linked special ability that demolishes you if you keep any of them alive for too long
  
• Dust Explosions
  
• Dynamic torches - extinguish them with water, and re-ignite them with fire (matching your current fire color)
  
• Re-do how the Air primary ability works
  
• Rush pushing - rushing into enemies should push them in your movement direction as long as the rush is active
  
• Re-do Magma (Fire + Earth) combos
  
• Add additional Super Abilities
  
• "Ultimate" (name is a placeholder) abilities that are unlocked by using Super Abilities
  
• Release a modding tool that allows customization of certain game balance parameters (such as movement speeds, ability damage, difficulty, etc.)

The list is subject to change but I most likely won't cut anything mentioned above. Any additional feedback received from players will be prioritized accordingly in that list above.

In addition to that, there will be 2 new extremely difficult bosses added to TICKDOWN.

The first boss will serve as the final enemy in the true 100% ending to the story. The second one will be part of a new level that will be added in.
