He may come from the void, but the character that starts off a little glob stars in a very special mobile gaming experience. » 7/18/12 11:30am 7/18/12 11:30am

Pixowl's The Sandbox places players in the role of a fledgling deity, grants them the power of pixel-particle elements, and sets them loose in their own single-screen world, free to do as they please. What pleases them seems to be drawing fan art.
