Smash and Break

Mission briefing

Smash and Break — a juicy voxel destruction sandbox where you can blow anything to pieces! 100 objects are waiting their turn: a mouth-watering burger, a birthday cake, a gaming PC, a helicopter, a piano, a fish tank, and even a capybara. Every object is built from thousands of voxel cubes and breaks apart for real: chunks chip off and tumble down, liquid pours out through the holes, fire spreads across anything flammable, and glass bursts into a spray of shards. No timers, no penalties, no game overs. Just you, a pile of objects, and total freedom to destroy. The perfect stress reliever!

Field manual

• Click (or tap) an object — every hit destroys voxels • Hold — automatic weapons keep firing on their own • Rotate the object: right mouse button, two fingers, or the arrow keys / A and D • Pick a tool in the panel on the left — each one destroys in its own way • Break most of the object to unlock the next one • Collect the stars hidden inside the cubes — they give bonus XP

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 portrait (upright) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it. 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.

Smash and Break — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Smash and Break?

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 Smash and Break?

Smash and Break 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 Smash and Break on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

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