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.

It's the classic brick breaker you love, packed with power: fire balls, extra balls, triple rockets, wind-up robots that go off with a bang, and star prize boxes full of coins.
