Smash and Break is based on a simple rule: destroy enough of each object to unlock the next, while choosing the most effective method according to its shape. First, you select a tool, because each damages the material in a different way. Then you attack the object to remove voxels and actually modify its structure. If you focus on a small area, you break through faster, but you also risk missing some useful parts to reach. Otherwise, by spreading your impacts, you weaken a larger surface and provoke more spectacular block falls. The game imposes no time limit and adds no penalties, which lets you freely test several approaches until you understand how to make the whole give way. Situations vary because objects do not all offer the same reactions nor the same visual obstacles. An aquarium can empty when you open a breach, while a flammable object can see flames gain ground after a well-placed first impact. You can also maintain the attack with automatic weapons to speed up destruction over time, which changes how you handle a dense or hard-to-start area. Rotating the object then becomes essential, as it allows you to control the attack angle, bypass an overly thick part and reach volumes that are still intact. The goal is not only to make the visible surface disappear, but to decide where to insist, when to change tool and how to exploit physical reactions to progress faster toward the next object. Have fun!
