My Pocket Galaxy – 3D Sandbox – Action Game Review
My Pocket Galaxy – 3D Sandbox is a Action/Simulation/Education game from Pocket Labs., first launched in 14th April 2017.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 9,804+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes My Pocket Galaxy – 3D Sandbox Stand Out
If you had the power, how would you create the solar system? What would be the size of each planet or star? And how would you place them in orbit? If you are interested in Astronomy and looking for a powerful yet easy to use 3 dimensional space sand box app to create and simulate a whole new galaxy with realistic physics rules, then you’ve come to the right place. Orbit Sandbox Universe, the 3D sand box game, provides you the ultimate power to explore the infinite space and simulate your own space full of different planets, gas giants, and stars.
In this gravity simulator app, you get to customize literally any aspect of these particles to simulate and design your very own solar system in this sand box. Once you are satisfied with your customized solar system (or any other combination of particles, planets, and stars), you get to easily add it to your collection, take a screenshot and share it with the world.
The game comes with a clean and neat design and the 3D simulation is so smooth that you won’t feel any difficulties or lags when bombarding your planets, or applying any condition to them. And make sure not to take the realistic gravity lensing effect as granted when looking at a black hole. It’s just fascinating.
Is this Orbit Sandbox Easy to Use?
Is this 3D galaxy sand box with realistic physics simulation powerful enough to create and design different planets, gas giants and stars? The answer is a BIG yes! But are the simulation tools easy to use? The answer is even a BIGGER yes! The user interface is so friendly, that you’ll get used to it after going through the step-by-step tutorial and trying available tools for a few times. After that, you just need to use your imagination and be creative to form some unique pocket galaxies with gravity simulator based on physics rules. If you are going to redesign our lovely solar system in our galaxy, you’ll have access to all the planets (mars, moon, earth, mercury etc …) and you have the power to unlock new worlds by meeting the right conditions, colliding with the right objects, and altering mass and sea level while keeping the temperature stable. To smash stuff together and create new planets, make sure to crash the right ones together.
Tip: To raise the sea level, hit a planet with ice meteors, and use rock meteors to lower the sea level.
Orbit Sandbox Main Features at a Glance:
• Wonderful 3D graphics with smooth space simulation
• Super user-friendly interface with easy to learn gameplay
• Step-by-step and detailed tutorial
• Huge variety of particles, procedural planets, gas giants and stars
• Ultimate customization options for your creations
• Gravity simulator with realistic physics rules
• Create Solar System with the tiniest details
• Take screenshots of your universe and share it with family and friends
• Unlock new achievements
• Interactive journal to track your creations
• Save and Load simulated creations
So, Orbit Sandbox Universe offers everything you should expect from such 3D gravity and universe sandbox games and it even sets the bar to a higher level by offering smooth particle simulator, realistic physics rules, user-friendly interface, a wide range of different particles, planets and stars, and a lot more.
No matter you are serious in Astronomy stuff or you just want to have fun creating some beautiful infinite universes, we’ve got you covered. You just need to take your time, select from wide range of stunning particles, stars, and planets, specify their positions and how they should rotate, and last but not the least decide which planets should collide to destroy and create new worlds.

Community Insight:
This game only needs 3 words to explain it. Really awesome game.
We need to Auto Unlock every solar system planet for when we have the full version.
This is the best game ever like this game has infinite resources of celestial bodies ik its the full version but we love it love absolutely love it like its so realistic.
Its cool we place a lot of planets so we dont like the other one. We like this one. This is the closest thing to University cost money so its free.
We love this game so much. Its cool has graphics but he hasnt updated in probably like four or three years. Its very good you must try very good and we literally mean its like a mini universe sandbox.
Wish you could do more stuff tho.
Its pretty fun we LOVE the game.
Its a game we used to play all the time as a kid, happy to come back and see its doing well.
- Mare Looks So Much Like Venus, Kinda Like a Variation So Can You Fix It? 2. Idk But Maybe Add More Variations To The Planets Or Add Some Variation Options To Make Them Look Like a Solar System Planet 3. Maybe Add More Real Planets Or Types Of Moons Thats All But Other Than That, It Is The Grand Game.
A little hard to navigate but relaxing.
This game is pretty similar to universe sandbox, but there are bug fixes needing to be fixed to be more universe sandboxy.
This game is so cool but can you pls add Planet X developer.
This is a good simulator whenever you're bored. You can create life, you can kill life, and also cause chaos in space. We would rate this game a 9.76/10. It's fun.
This is the best space game about collisions and planets. Very good.
We love it a lot we recommend if your looking for a game really close to universe sandbox.
The simulation deals like its real and can learn from it.
We wish we could land on the surface of the planet and observe the land and people.
We have the full pack and its amazing, it was worth it too. And we hope others find this game cool.
Worth it and lots of explosions.
This app is so cool that our brains about to explode.
They way it works is simple to understand and it's very accurate with all different kind of planets,stars and,other cool things!we definitely recommend this.
IT WILL EXPLODE IT IS NOT A HOT POCKET.
We love that it is just like universe sandbox because no planet limit all the planets look cool and so fun.
We love planets and this is planet game and games are cool also planets are cool so this game is cool.
This is nice. The quality of the collisions, formations, and other factors, That leads to this being the best planet game Ive ever played in our entire life.
For you, we want to unlock planet earth.
Its a fun way to make the universe! You can do many fun things.
Our son loves creating his own universe.
We SAID IT! We WILL NOT PICK THIS GAME UP UNNTIL YOU ADD IT.
This is impressive. You made the most similar game to Universe Sandbox on mobile.
We really dont have to say anything for this game Its perfect for space lovers on mobile.
This is so old but still fun, we remember when we were 4 and basically no one played it accept us, Thank you pocket labs.
Our kid loves this game while crashing planets together.
We were playing this for 50 hours.
If we made it less realistic, it would be boring.
We love how fun it is and we would when we get all of the plants;Chris.
We love astrology and this game makes us wonder that there has to be other life forms out there in the universe.
We think that there should be the ability to change the angle of planets and maybe change the heat of stars we mean we know theres a glitch that lets you do these things so why not.make it official. Overall, its a good game.
We dont have much to say, though it is funny when you go out really far into to the cosmos then place something and its arrow is super glitched out. Please dont fix this bug since it is very funny and entertaining- still wondering how far you can go till the game crashes.
We tried it and we made a planet and then turned it into a gas giant, and then a star and it was pretty fun.
We been playing this in 2019-2018.
This is the best game ever! Thanks who made the game.
The first time the team had played a match was when they won a match in a row and they lost the match and they were still playing the match.
Good game. We love how the game looks, and how you can do crazy stuff like heat up a planet and maybe get an ice planet. You can also unlock solar system planets by unlocking stuff and spend time to get them.Just please add more planets and achievements.
We want that so that we can easily enjoy our solar System.
Colliding game please add More Real Objects like more Stars Planets Comets Asteroids Dwarf Planets and Galaxies that You are able to Collide and make Galaxies and real Black Holes and add Roche Limit And let People add Magnetic Fields and Atmospheres Please.
Lots of fun! Maybe its not infallible, still lots of fun non the less.
Hi our pockey galaxy devs we miss the updates ngl.
We like that you can get achievements and the graphics we like it 5 STARSSSSSSS.
Super fun game if you're into how star systems work, it always helps understanding when you try it out for yourself.
