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 : )
