Melon Playground is a physics sandbox game with elements of creativity and experimentation. The game does not offer campaigns or linear progression; instead, it offers an open playground where the player decides what to build and interact with. Currently available information about Melon Playground highlights its ragdoll physics, interaction between objects, weapons, vehicles, and various environments.

One of the first things that stand out after playing Melon Playground is how different it feels compared to regular video games. There is no need to achieve any goal, and the fun lies in the process of experimentation, making discoveries, creating various scenes and observing the effects of physics on them.

The gameplay is pretty simple and easy to grasp. The players pick their characters, objects, tools and other objects and place them into the environment. With the drag-and-drop controls and further interactions, it is relatively easy to create a scene.

When a scene is created, the players can turn it on and watch what happens.
