But sometimes, after a long, stressful day, you don't want to build; you just want to break stuff. If you are looking for a way to blow off some steam in the most spectacular way possible, you need to check out Solar Smash. It is a planet destruction simulator that is surprisingly relaxing, visually stunning, and oddly satisfying.
What is the Game About?
At its core, the premise is simple: you are given a realistic 3D model of a planet (Earth, Mars, or even fantasy worlds), and your only goal is to destroy it. There are no time limits, no high scores to chase, and no "game over" screens. It is a sandbox experience where you play the role of a cosmic force of nature. You have an arsenal of tools ranging from realistic threats like asteroids and nuclear missiles to sci-fi horrors like alien lasers and eldritch space monsters.
