Gameplay
A main campaign mode consisting of more than 50 missions was added to the 1.0 version. It tasks the player to demolish structures using a selection of over 100 pre-designed vehicles. There's an additional 25 mission campaign where the player designs their own vehicles.[3] A sandbox mode that has no objectives is also included.[4] The designer drew inspiration for the primary campaign mode from the 1997 game Blast Corps.[3]

Reception
- Early access
NME said the "destruction system is both spectacular and wonderfully intricate" but had mixed comparisons to Besiege.[9] Eurogamer said the vehicle editor is easy and fun to use and the game surpasses being merely a imitator of Besiege.[10] GameStar noted the destruction physics as superior to that of Besiege. They also noted the "unexpectedly cool soundtrack".[11] They later included the game on a list of best physics games on Steam.[12] After playing the early access version, TJ Denzer of Shacknews said his time with the game "has been an absolute blast".[13][14]
- Full release
PC Gamer described the destruction tech as beautiful and the game itself as a joy to play.[3]
