The Powder Toy Description
The Powder Toy is now on Android! This time it is officially supported, completely free, and slightly optimized for touchscreen devices instead of the traditional mouse and keyboard Powder Toy is usually run with.

The Powder Toy is a free physics sandbox game, which simulates air pressure and velocity, heat, gravity and a countless number of interactions between different substances! The game provides you with various building materials, liquids, gases and electronic components which can be used to construct complex machines, guns, bombs, realistic terrains and almost anything else. You can then destroy them and watch cool explosions, add intricate wirings, play with little stickmen or operate your machine. You can browse and play thousands of different saves made by the community or upload your own – we welcome your creations!

The game is very resource intensive. A powerful phone is recommended to play it properly. Button sizes have been increased in many places, but you might need a large phone screen or a tablet in order to have a better experience. If you find a feature that is hard to use on a touchscreen, or is absent from the Android version of the game, leave some feedback by clicking the bug icon in game or making a post on the forums.

It is fully compatible with the PC version of the game, saves made in one version can be loaded in the other.

Comments about The Powder Toy Android Version
I'm relatively astonished at how realistically the simulations run on my mediocre phone! I understand this is a port of a pre-existing PC application, but the developer has done an excellent job of refactoring it into something that runs on devices with much less horsepower. And a note to those who feel this 'game' is too complicated: Well, yes - it can be rather intimidating, and it IS too complicated for a game. But it isn't a game - it's a simulation sandbox, and it requires at least a basic understanding of physics, material science, chemistry, etc; however, you don't need a Ph.D in order to enjoy the app. You just need to know the basic concepts, such as how pressure and temperature might affect certain liquids and gasses, and a mind curious enough to research the gaps. But if you get past that initial intimidation, this app holds many hours of interesting and cool discoveries!
the game seems like it'd be fun, but for some reason, the touches aren't calibrated in the least bit on my Moto g6 play. I have to touch very far to the left to change between the powder types, and the further left I want to pick, the more distance there is between my tap and the powder I select. it's this way with all the menus, but oddly enough, when I drop powder, it comes out exactly where I tap the screen. honestly not sure what would be causing this, but it makes the game unplayable.
5 stars only because it introduced me to The Powder Toy and because you can use it to view creations for ideas while you're on the go. Other than that, it's nearly impossible to do anything except mess around with blobs of stuff on the mobile version. The only thing I see possible to make this game usable is adding a curser that can be moved around and buttons to simulate the mouse buttons. Standard touch is nowhere near accurate enough to be viable here.
