Sandbox with demolition simulation Physically realistic simulator of destruction: release your stress, just chill out and destroy it all down! Main features: Sandbox part of the game can be very fun if you know what to tweak and tear down stuff more destructively! • Slow-motion - You have the full control over the time rate: slow it down, make it faster or just freeze the simulation • Burning system - Fire can burn down wooden constructions. Burn it down! • Gravity - Took it all from freezing time... Well, play with low / high gravity or just turn it off like you are in space ;) • Control of gameplay - Too many debris on the screen and the game lags? Try debris combination and debris freeze options to improve performance reducing CPU/GPU load - Not enough debris? Simply increase destruction resolution • Guns - 15 different explosives (missiles, dynamites, cascade grenades) - Destructive Tornadoes - Lightnings - Black holes - Spikes from hell - Different sized cannon balls • Maps - Destroy over 30+ prebuild map from skyscrapers to ancient structures - Map editor: Build your own map and save it to one of available slots - Different terrains to demolish objects on • Simulator I have created this game for our personal needs - always dreamed of the game that allows you to destroy buildings, but there wasnt any, sooo... had to do one ourselves : )
