About SmashCore

SmashCore offers a brief, physics‑driven incremental experience where players wield gravity to shatter asteroids. The core grants powers that let you pull, crush, and break rocks, turning each collision into literal fragments.

Collected dust feeds a ravenous core, unlocking upgrades and deeper space travel. As you progress, ancient technology and new ores appear, and a vault promises additional riches for those who venture far enough.

01 / THE GUIDE

Gravity Powers

The mysterious core provides gravity powers that let you manipulate asteroids directly. Using a gravity cursor, you can attract and crush rocks, turning them into dust.

Dust collected from destroyed asteroids feeds the core, which in turn can be used to enhance those same gravity abilities through upgrades.

  • Observe how larger asteroids break into more dust, potentially yielding more upgrades.
  • Compare early‑game and later‑game gravity effects to notice the impact of upgrades.

02 / THE GUIDE

Asteroid Destruction

Asteroid destruction relies on realistic physics; collisions remove actual chunks from the bodies rather than using abstract health bars.

Each fragment broken off becomes dust that can be harvested, linking destruction directly to resource collection.

  • Target the weakest points of an asteroid to maximize chunk loss per hit.
  • Watch the physics reactions to learn which angles produce the most dust.

03 / THE GUIDE

Skill Tree

Upgrades are organized within a large skill tree that expands your gravitational abilities. Spending dust on the tree improves power, range, and efficiency.

The skill tree is the primary method for progressing deeper into space, as stronger powers let you handle tougher asteroids.

  • Plan your upgrades around the types of asteroids you encounter most often.
  • Balance between power and efficiency upgrades to maintain a steady dust income.

04 / THE GUIDE

Deep Space Exploration

Improved gravity powers let you travel farther into space, where ancient technology and new ores await discovery.

These deeper zones present tougher asteroids, encouraging further upgrades and skill tree investment.

  • Before venturing out, ensure you have enough upgrades to handle stronger asteroids.
  • Compare the ore yields of early and deep zones to gauge progress.

05 / THE GUIDE

Vault and Wealth

Opening the vault reveals the riches accumulated from dust and ore collection. The vault acts as a final reward for extensive exploration.

Wealth gathered can be used to further feed the core, creating a loop of power, destruction, and reward.

  • Track how much dust you have before opening the vault to maximize its impact.
  • Observe the types of riches found to decide which upgrades are most valuable.
