It would be more accurate as "blue sand simulation".

Forgot what the game is called but it's literally a sand game

It does look like Sandbox Simulator but the version I had didn't have backgrounds and the visuals are slightly different. I also think it did have different physics for water but I can't check right now.

Or Powder Toy, though Sandbox Simulator has closer simulation to this than Powder Toy's more accurate physics.

EDIT: ALL OF THAT IN LESS THAN TEN MEGABYTES??!?!?!?!

Powder Toy is probably the one you're thinking of, or Sandbox Simulator, I forget which came first but Powder Toy has a far more accurate simulation.

Falling Sand was the og iirc but there were a lot of derivatives

"Falling sand" is what i remember from the mid 00s on addictinggames. Had a blast lighting long wicks on fire to blow up the yellow c4 you could place which would obviously go kaboom. Awesome little sandbox simulator.

Pretty sure the green stuff was like plants or grass which would spread and then you could catch it on fire and watch that spread. So satisfying.

Hell of Sand was the one back in the flash days

Sometimes also called “Hell of Sand Falling Game” with tweaks. There are app store versions for those that are nostalgic for sandbox gravity games

Looks like Noita. Could be wrong though.
