In development · Closed playtest open
An arcade destruction game where the arena is the opponent. Every wall has a stress line, every strike banks velocity you will eventually owe back, and nothing you break comes back.

Doctrine
Most fighting games hand you a stage. Ours hands you forty tonnes of load-bearing structure with a solver underneath it that knows exactly where it wants to fail. Hit a column at the wrong angle and you brace it. Hit it at the right one and you take the floor out from under both of you.
There is no destruction budget, no scripted set piece, no “this wall breaks here.” The stress propagates, the debris keeps its momentum, and the rubble stays for the rest of the match — which is the whole reason matches only last a minute. After sixty seconds there isn't enough arena left to fight in.
Learn the physics or become part of it.
Everything in SMASHER is downstream of the fracture solver. These are the four systems you actually hold in your hands.
Every surface has a breaking point
Arenas are not scenery. Concrete spalls along stress lines, glass shears into shards that keep momentum, and steel folds before it snaps. Damage is persistent for the whole run — the floor you destroyed in round one is the hole you fall through in round three.
Speed is borrowed, never free
Every hit you land banks velocity. Every hit you take collects on it. Run the meter hot and your strikes carry through walls; let it invert and the arena starts hitting back harder than the opponent does.
Aim the building, not the fist
Load a support column, mark a vector, and drop forty tonnes of structure along a line you chose. The best players stop swinging at opponents entirely and start swinging at architecture.
One minute, one arena, no reset
Matches are sixty seconds. There is no round two in the same space — the arena you fought in is rubble, and rubble is the next arena. Win by standing on what's left.
Roster · 3 of 6 revealed
Demolition Frame
“I don't fight people. I fight load-bearing walls.”
Two tonnes of surplus mining exoskeleton with a pilot somewhere inside. Slowest frame in the roster and the only one that can take a collapsing floor as a landing.
Kinetic Duelist
“Momentum is a loan. I never pay it back.”
Built for the debt meter. Vega chains wall-runs into strikes and strikes back into wall-runs, holding a velocity state most frames physically cannot sustain past ten seconds.
Structural Engineer
“Show me the column and I'll show you the exit.”
The only combatant that can read stress lines mid-match. Atlas plays the arena as the primary opponent and treats the other frame as a variable in the collapse.

Roadmap
Phase 01
The destruction solver, stress propagation, and persistent debris. The thing everything else is built on.
Phase 02
Rook, Vega and Atlas playable end to end, with the momentum debt meter tuned across all three.
Phase 03
Rolling invites into eight arenas. Netcode under load, collapse determinism across clients, and the first balance pass driven by real matches.
Phase 04
Player-authored arenas with authored stress geometry, so the community can build the buildings you break.
Phase 05
Twelve arenas, six frames, ranked ladder, and a spectator mode that renders the collapse from the debris' point of view.
Closed playtest waves go out weekly. Keys are limited by arena capacity, not by hype — we only invite as many players as the solver can watch at once.
