Play The Powder Toy, an awesome free physics game
The Powder Toy is a classic experimental sandbox game that will keep nerdy types entertained for hours!
This game is awesome, if not a little difficult to figure out. There's a chance you've played similar games before, and that will give you a definite advantage when playing The Powder Toy. If you're still no wiser, it's basically a blank canvas where you have access to different scientific elements and substances. You can then combine them whatever way you like, and watch the results!
If you know the type of game, then you're definitely going to think of explosions. It's true - The Powder Toy lets you blow stuff up, and it's awesome! It also lets you do other cool things, like create growing, organic structures or building electronic circuits. The Powder Toy is really only limited by your own imagination.
One area where you might have a problem is finding The Powder Toy instructions. The website is good and full of user-generated content, and once you've grasped the ropes, it will be really useful. It still doesn't make up for the lack of a getting started guide though, so you're just going to have to mess around or do research of your own at the start.
Hard to get started in, but awesome to play, The Powder Toy is a cool nerd-tastic game!

TPT has a bad community and moderation..
If you comment constructive criticism, you will be simply IP banned for life. The mods won't listen to you, they will invade your privacy and use every little thing against you. Anything you try to lift a ban will end up in them locking the discussion or a permanent ban, then their last resort, an IP ban. Constructive criticism in the non-moderation community's eyes will result in a flame war and constant hate attacks. You do something they think is bad on a FP save, prepare for a storm of rage. Their community is bad as Blockland, ROBLOX, GMod, etc. You can paly without an account, but you won't have a nice little taste of fame and the ability to save. Only one pro of this game, and its the game itself. Though the community and moderation issue contradicts with that and mostly its more like 50% of gameplay, as you suggest something the devs (who get mod powers, I was personally attacked by a particular dev) deem impossible, you get shunned for life.
Pros:
Fun game play
Basically nothing
Cons:
Bad community
Bad moderators
Bad Front Page (users refer them as FP) Saves More

I've been playing TPT for about 3 years..
I'm used to where the elements go, also it's open source (You can add your own elements... etc)
It has way more features than what has been mentioned here. (Decoration Layer, Gravity types, ambient heat, Newtonian gravity, water equalization, and Lua console)
Also, not to mention there's a C++ rewrite coming along with speed enhancements. More
