Physics Playground is an innovative physics-based Scratch game developed by griffpatch, where you control Appel and explore a world of total freedom.

Physics Playground – A Free-Form Experience with an Innovative Physics Scratch Game

Physics Playground is a physics sandbox game built on scratch that allows players to interact directly with the environment and create various physics-based scenarios. Players can move Appel, drag objects, create pin joints, alter gravity, or switch to "Bullet Time" mode. The game encourages you to set your own challenges: build contraptions, experiment with movement, and observe how objects react.

Explore an open physics world

Build your own contraptions

Physics Playground doesn't simply require you to get from point A to point B. You can drag and arrange objects to create your own unique structures. Blocks can be fixed in place or linked together using a pin system, allowing players to experiment with different construction methods.

Change gravity

One of the exciting tools available is the ability to toggle gravity modes. Altering the forces acting on the environment opens up new ways to experiment; even small changes can lead to vastly different object movements.
