Let's start playing with a ragdoll creature. It's your choice what you want to do - you can shoot it, acid attack it, or do whatever you want; there are no rules, just play.
Forget boring, predictable games. Here, watermelons and cantaloupes (yes, you read that right) become your test subjects, soldiers, and prey, in a physics-driven world where anything can happen.
Choosing the type of map you want to play on is the first step in Melon Playground's gameplay. Using the dropdown menu on the left, you can add various elements to the map. There are fruit-like creatures who move, suffer, and die (but they're just watermelon and melon people), for example. You can also use a variety of weapons and objects against them.
It is possible to inject their bodies with acid, shoot them, hit them with various objects, revive them, monitor their vital signs, set off a bomb, reassemble them, put helmets on them, put armor on them, test how well they fare against different attacks, and anything else you can think of. The scenario can be restarted or recreated when you run out of energy.
A game called Melon Playground lets you experiment with physics and see how characters behave. A sandbox allows you to do anything you want (although here, we are trying to harm fictional characters).
What Makes Melon Playground So Wildly Addictive?
1. A sandbox where you make the rules (or break them!)
No missions. No objectives. Just pure, unbridled creativity. Want to launch 100 melon warriors into a battlefield armed with just spoons? Go ahead. Prefer to inject them with acid and watch them melt? Be our guest. The game doesn't do it justice - it encourages insanity.
2. Weapons? Try everything.
From flamethrowers to laser guns, explosives to medieval swords, the game gives you an arsenal of destruction. But why stop there? Syringes, poisons, hammers, bats, and even... hangers? If it exists, you can probably weaponize it.
3. Physics that React to Your Insanity
Hit a watermelon in the head? It explodes. Drop a nuclear bomb? Everything blows up. Stab a ragdoll with a spear? It writhes in pain. The game's physics engine makes every interaction both terrifyingly brutal and satisfyingly realistic.
4. Build, Destroy, Repeat.
Made a mistake? Reset the scene. Bored with your carnage? Change the map. Want to record the chaos? Save your experiments. The game lets you change, replay, and reimagine your destructive scenarios endlessly.
Main Features of the Game
1. Huge Arsenal of Weapons
The game includes a huge selection of tools for destruction:
- Firearms: pistols, sniper rifles, laser guns.
- Melee weapons: swords, knives, bats, hammers.
- Explosives: grenades, bombs, rockets.
- Unconventional tools: syringes (acid, poison), hangers, and other weird objects.
2. Realistic Ragdoll Reactions
Every interaction looks impressive because of:
- Dynamic physics-based damage (limbs fly off, bodies crumple).
- Vital signs monitoring (check health stats before and after attacks).
- Environmental interactions (ragdolls realistically collide with objects).
3. Open-ended Sandbox Freedom
- No objectives or missions - just pure experimentation.
- Adjust scenarios instantly (add/remove characters, swap weapons).
- Create custom battle setups or bizarre scientific tests.
4. Dark Humor and Stress Relief
This game doesn't take itself seriously, making it perfect for:
- Comedic violence (watching melons explode never gets old).
- Creative storytelling (create your action scenes).
- Casual fun (play for 5 minutes or hours).
Update 34.0 – Feature Overview
Endless Map Editor and Massive World Transformations
One of the biggest additions in Update 34.0 is the Endless Map Editor, which greatly expands the creative possibilities in Mellon Playground. Rather than being limited to a fixed-size map as in previous versions, this new editor mode allows for the creation of vast – and potentially infinite – environments.
This feature gives players significantly more freedom when creating their worlds. Maps are no longer restricted by visible boundaries, allowing users to create large testbeds, sprawling landscapes, or vast sandbox scenarios without running out of space. Maps also grow dynamically as players shape them, creating the feel of an infinite or self-expanding world.
The Endless Map Editor is often referred to as the “new map editor mode” to distinguish it from the classic map system. This can fundamentally change gameplay by enabling large-scale experimentation, extensive physics testing, and complex world design that was previously impossible.
New Tools and Items
Update 34.0 adds new tools and items, primarily expanding creative and editing possibilities. Changes include more advanced editor tools that allow players to control objects, terrain, and the environment in a more precise way.
In addition to the editor improvements, new object types have also been added to increase interactivity in Sandbox mode. The goal of these tools seems to be to expand customization and experimentation rather than simply adding items. This suggests a continued focus on creativity, giving players control over how the visuals, mechanics, and physics setups are built.
Conclusion
Melon Playground is a hilarious, chaotic, and endlessly entertaining sandbox game that turns players into mad scientists of destruction. With no rules, no limits, and tons of weapons to play with, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys the creative (or destructive) freedom in gaming.
Update 34.0 is a creativity-focused update that offers map expansions, improved editing tools, and more freedom in Sandbox mode.
