Critical Mess: Planet Smash

You get one rocket. Steer it, crash it, and watch what happens.

Critical Mess is a planet destruction game about explosions and chain reactions. Smash rock, planets and stars — every launch ends in a single impact, and a good impact never ends alone. Hit a glowing gas pocket and it ignites its neighbours. Crack a crystal and the fault line splits. Knock out the supports and the whole cavern comes down.

Every crater stays. The rock you blow away is gone for good, so each launch picks up where the last one left off.

• Dig your way out: blast through a persistent underground mine and break the surface.
• Break the solar system: carve the moon, Mars, a gas giant and the Sun until each one shatters in a full-screen explosion.
• Feed the black hole: in the galaxy, crash into stars to set off supernova chains and push whole spiral arms into the core.
• Build your rocket: spend salvage in the Rocket Lab on warhead segments, fragmentation pods, a shaped-charge nose, a penetrator tip, a MIRV bus and resonance beacons.
• Play at your own pace: short runs, no timers, no energy system, progress saved on your device.
