Crust Crusher

Mission briefing

Smash voxel planets layer by layer, crack their molten cores, and go Supernova. Every throw carves a real crater into a world made entirely of voxels: rubble flies, gems spill into your ring, and the crack meter climbs. Spend gems on harder hits, faster throws and bigger rocks (a boulder, a meteor, a bouncing wrecking ball, a splitting ice comet, a drill bomb), buy moonlets that keep smashing on their own, and crack twelve planets from the Meadow to the Star-forged. Then trade your galaxy for stardust in a Supernova, keep the black hole and the moon for good, and start again in a recoloured galaxy with its own twist. A daily planet pays a streak bonus every day.

Field manual

Goal: crack every planet's core. Tap or click the planet to throw your rock; each hit carves a crater, pays gems and fills the crack meter. When the meter is full the planet cracks and the next one flies in. Spend gems in the dock on Power, Rate, Lucky strike, the Auto-loader (then hold to keep throwing), bigger rocks and moonlets that smash on their own. Tap the golden comet for a bonus. After cracking the Lava planet, a Supernova trades your galaxy for stardust and permanent upgrades. Mouse or touch only; no keyboard needed. The Menu button holds settings, the planet album, stats and help.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a flexible screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for action operations

First run is reconnaissance. Spend it learning where the danger actually spawns from instead of chasing a score — most action games announce their patterns honestly in the opening minute, then repeat them with worse manners.
Movement is a defensive stat. A moving target at half health outlives a stationary one at full health in nearly every game on this board, so keep relocating between shots, strikes and reloads.
Learn the exit before the entrance closes. In arena and chase games alike, the players who survive longest are the ones who noticed the second doorway while everyone else was watching the first.

Crust Crusher — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Crust Crusher?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Crust Crusher?

Crust Crusher is filed in our Action theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Crust Crusher on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Crust Crusher is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.

After-action

Mission complete, or still pinned down? The full Action theatre is one click away — The main hall of the board: 469 operations where something is always moving, exploding, escaping or being chased. If a game has a pulse and a problem, it is probably filed here.
