A physics-driven sandbox where you build scenes, rig characters, and watch ragdoll chaos unfold. This mod build opens every locked item pack, weapon, and vehicle from the first launch.
What Melon Sandbox is
Melon Sandbox, also listed as Melon Playground, is a 2D physics toy from 27 Studio. You drop characters, props, weapons, and machines onto a flat stage and let the physics engine handle the rest. There is no goal, no timer, and no score. The whole point is to set up a scene and see what happens when you pull the trigger, drop the weight, or wire two objects together.
The appeal is its open structure. Younger players build silly contraptions and stage cartoon stunts, while veteran users assemble elaborate rigs with redstone-style logic, ragdoll mechanics, and custom mods imported from the community. It sits in the same creative-sandbox bracket as Minecraft and 2D builders like Terraria, but it strips away survival and crafting to focus purely on cause-and-effect play.
The base game is free with ads and a set of locked item packs you unlock through in-app purchases. The modified build on this page removes those gates so every pack, tool, and vehicle is available from the start.

What this mod offers
- All mods unlocked
Every premium item pack is open on the picker: weapons, vehicles, animals, building blocks, and logic parts that the free build keeps behind a purchase.
- Full weapon and vehicle set
The complete arsenal and the drivable vehicles are usable from launch, so you can stage stunts and battles without grinding for unlocks.
- No ad interruptions
The banner and full-screen ads that break up the free experience are removed, so sessions stay in the sandbox instead of the ad break.
- Community mod support
Import custom item mods and texture packs the same way the official build allows, with the unlocked picker as a base layer.
- Same save format
Scenes you build save in the standard project format, so a layout made here opens in the official app and the other way around.
