Tap to leap from planet to planet, time each jump so you land perfectly, and keep going until the darkness catches you. Every perfect landing builds a streak, every streak lifts the score, and every run reaches a little higher than the one before. The sky is never the same twice. Skirt the pull of a black hole, cross the glare of a dying sun, ride out a comet storm, and find what waits inside the fog. New events unlock as you climb, and each one changes how you play. WHAT YOU'LL FIND - One-tap controls that take a minute to learn and a long time to master - Handmade worlds and events, each with its own hazards and rhythm - Perfect-landing streaks that reward timing over reflexes - Shields and guides to bank for the run that matters - A hangar of skins to collect and ride - Full haptic feedback EMBER is free to play. Optional shard packs and a one-time remove-ads purchase are available.

About

World Destroyer Simulator

Features
Read full description

Pick a world. Pick a weapon. See what's left. World Destroyer is a sandbox where a planet floats in front of you and you take it apart. Tap to fire, drag to spin it, pinch to look closer. Each strike leaves a crater, the crust cracks and glows, the population ticks down, and eventually there is nothing left but a ring of rubble and a report of what you did. THIRTY-THREE WEAPONS Seven categories on the rail down the right edge. Meteors, storms, comets, an extinction-class asteroid and a moon dragged out of orbit. Lasers and a plasma lance you drag across the surface to carve molten scars. A black hole that stretches the world and swallows it. A supernova. A cleave that splits the planet in two along the line you tap. Saucers, a dreadnought, a strike wing and a drone swarm. A kraken, a world-eating worm, a void dragon and something ancient that opens its eye. Volcanoes, quakes, tsunamis, an ice age and a plague. And three ways to fight back: a shield, a guardian satellite and a terraformer that heals the crust. TEN WORLDS An Earth-like world of eight billion. A jungle super-earth. A red desert with domed colonies. An airless cratered moon. A banded gas giant with nothing to crater and everything to stir. A lava world already on fire. A frozen ocean with cities under the ice. A water world where the cities float. A ringed violet world. A volcanic-glass planet lit by neon cities. Every one is generated on your device, down to the coastlines, the clouds and the night-side lights. WATCH IT DIE Damage is not a number hidden somewhere. Craters have depth. Lava glows in the cracks and cools over time. The clouds darken, the atmosphere turns the colour of smoke, fissures race across the crust, and a world that has taken enough keeps losing people between strikes. Slow time down to watch a nuke go off, or speed it up to watch a plague spread. MADE ON YOUR PHONE There are no downloads and no assets. Every texture, every sky, every sound is synthesised when the app opens, which is why it is small and why it works with no connection at all. NOTHING ELSE No account, no sign-in, no ads, no purchases, nothing collected. Settings has a switch to reduce flashing for anyone sensitive to bright light.
