    Despite its flaws, though, The Sandbox is a remarkable little app that will keep you busy for ages. It's hard to have any serious grievances with a game that molds itself according to your mood.

    The Sandbox delivers an original and fresh experience, packed with a simple but effective touch interface and some interesting social elements. What a pity the story mode is so poor and uninspiring, while you're forced to buy some mana once you complete a bunch of missions.
