The final stretch of getting my game ready for release next week: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2764460/Sandustry/

It's an automation game and factory builder with "falling sand" physics. Think Noita meets Factorio.

"Noita meets Factorio" is genuinely not something I ever thought I would see. That's an insane combination and I will definitely be picking this up and trying it out :)

I also remember playing that Powder Toy game on my phone in grade school, and I have a ton of nostalgia for these kinds of physics.

Will there be significant hidden mechanics/riddles/lore built into the world in a Noita-like way, or is the physics engine the limit of that comparison?

I played the demo, it was very cool. Looking forward to playing it. I see it's on Game Pass, too.

How does such a deal work? Do they contact you? Or are there places where you can promote your game to get it on Game Pass?

What was/is it like working with Hooded Horse? How did you get that going? I'm a big fan of the games they publish :)

Good luck on your game & launch!

I watched a let's play video recently where someone played your demo. Hope your final release goes well!
