Simulator of destruction Physically realistic simulator of destruction: release your stress, just chill out and destroy contractions! Main features: Slowmotion - You have the full control over the time rate: slow it down, inrease the speed or just stop the simulation Gravity - Took it all from freezing time... Well, play with low / hight gravity or just turn it off like you are in space ;) Controll of gameplay - Disable or enable explosions visualization (if it covers debris you want to see), only smoke or even lights / flashes. - Too many debris on the screen? Just enable limitation option so all debris over certain value will smoothly dissapear - Not enought debris? Simply increase destructibility level Guns - About 13 different explosives (missiles, dynamites, bombs) - Earthquake, tornado, singularity - Different sized cannon balls - Custom gun editor 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 Simulator We 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 : )

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Destruction simulator sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Melon sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Melon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Melon has 140K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Destruction simulator's written reviews are positive against 77% of Melon's.
Destruction simulator ships an update every 2 weeks, Melon weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
