Ever feel the urge to just… obliterate something? Maybe the stress of the day is getting to you, or you just want to see what happens when a planet meets a black hole. If so, then Solar Smash might be the oddly satisfying game you've been looking for. You can check it out at Solar Smash. It's less a traditional "game" and more of a digital sandbox where you can experiment with planetary destruction in creatively devastating ways. Let’s dive in and explore what makes this experience so engaging.
Getting Started: A Cosmic Canvas
The core concept of Solar Smash is surprisingly simple: you're given a digital model of a planet (usually Earth, but you can unlock others) and a variety of tools to completely, utterly, and spectacularly destroy it. There are no levels, no objectives, and no win conditions. It’s purely about experimentation and observing the consequences of your actions.
The interface is relatively intuitive. You'll typically see a planet in the center of the screen, surrounded by various buttons and icons representing different weapons and tools. These tools range from the mundane (missiles, lasers) to the bizarre (planet-sized drill, cosmic horrors). Selecting a tool equips it, and then you simply aim and fire at the poor planet.
The visual fidelity is decent, though not photorealistic. The focus is more on the physics and the sheer spectacle of destruction. As you unleash your arsenal, you’ll see chunks of the planet break away, molten lava spew forth, and continents crumble. The sound design complements the visuals, with satisfying explosions, the crackling of energy weapons, and the screams of (presumably digital) people as their world ends. It's a strange mix of terrifying and hilarious.
