Captain Smash is a bossy orange pirate cat with one rule on his ship: nothing stays standing. See that stack of crates, barrels, and jars piled up on his deck? He wants it gone, and he's handing you the cannon to do it. Here's how it works. Tap to fire, and knock the whole pile down. One finger, easy to pick up whenever you've got a minute. You only get so many cannonballs each level, so you can't just blast away. Every stack has to come down before you run out, which turns each level into a fun little puzzle. The best part is what happens when stuff breaks. Wood splinters, ice cracks and shatters, stone chips off, and jars burst in a splash of color across the sand. Every shot is satisfying, and you'll want to line up the next one right away. The Captain isn't out there alone. He's got a wide-eyed black crew cat who isn't so sure about all this, and a little blue bird who won't stop chirping. You fire, they cheer, and the Captain takes the credit. Levels get trickier as you go, with tighter angles and tougher bonus rounds when you want a real challenge. Earn coins along the way and grab boosters for the piles that just won't budge. • One finger — tap to fire • Knock down crates, barrels, cans, jars, and blocks • Wood, ice, stone, and glass each break their own way • Captain Smash, his crew cat, and a little blue bird • Coins and boosters for the stubborn stacks • Trickier levels and harder bonus rounds Free smash game. The Captain's deck is a mess — grab the cannon and smash it clean.
