Welcome to Drop Smash!, a satisfying physics puzzle where every ball you drop bounces, splits and smashes its way down the board. Each level is a hand-built board of pegs, ramps, wooden bars and bouncy jumpers, with crates waiting at the bottom. Hold your finger over the board to aim, follow the prediction line, and let go to drop. Fill every crate before you run out of balls to win. Pass through multiplier gates to turn one ball into a whole cascade. Watch full crates burst apart and send their pieces tumbling down, wooden bars crack and splinter, and vases, jars and cans shatter on impact. Every board plays differently. Read the pegs, find the best drop spot and plan your shots, because balls are limited. Features - Simple hold-and-release controls with a drop-prediction line - Multiplier gates that turn one ball into many - Smash crates, wooden bars, vases, jars and cans - Bouncy jumpers, ramps and pegs to master - Hundreds of hand-crafted boards with growing challenge - Earn coins every level - Satisfying physics and chunky destruction Aim, drop and smash every crate in Drop Smash!
