Comment: It seems to meet notability requirement but more reliable sources should be used before publication. You can try incorporate content from [1][2][3][4] to flesh out the gameplay section. OceanHok (talk) 06:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Worldbox is a sandbox game that was released on 2012 by indie game developer Maxim Karpenko. The game allows the use of different elements to create, change, and destroy worlds. The game was released on Android in 2018, followed by iOS on February on the following year, and the Windows and Mac on October. The game was also released to Steam in December 2021.
Gameplay
The game's main feature is the ability to create worlds, using tools provided in the game. Such worlds can be improved upon with biomes, and resources.[1] Worlds can also be populated by creatures, with some creatures being able to create civilizations. Such civilizations can grow, declare war on others, and suffer rebellions.[1][2]
Conversely, the game also allows the destruction of worlds, ranging from explosives to disasters, such as earthquakes. Populations can also be reduced with hostile entities, and illnesses, along with other causes.[3]
Reception
While Metacritic has been yet to fully review the game, it was mostly well received by both amateur and professional players, garnering a 8.3 on the site, indicating generally favorable reviews.[4]
2020 Plagiarism Scandal
On November 2020, Maxim reported that a shell company known as Stavrio LTD copied the game, and attempted to trademark the name. This resulted in Maxim attempting to get Google Play to take action against the game by starting the hashtag "#saveworldbox".[5]
