Tear Blocks Down — Play Free Online

Tear Blocks Down is a destruction game built out of voxels. Instead of racing to a finish line, you are handed weapons and a blocky structure and asked to take it apart, piece by piece. Poki lists it as an action game where you demolish voxel-based buildings with guns and tanks, and where blocky zombies show up to make things harder.

It is a different kind of game from most of the others on this site. Doodle Jump is about climbing without stopping; this one is about aiming carefully, watching a structure give way, and enjoying the mess. A session works well as a few minutes of stress relief, or as a longer stretch if you like seeing how efficiently you can bring a building down. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD and use the mouse to aim and to select things on screen. On a phone or tablet you tap and swipe instead. The core loop is simple: point your weapon at the structure, fire, and watch which blocks come loose. Zombies made of blocks also walk into the scene, so part of each round is dealing with them while you keep chipping away at the buildings.

The game describes itself as one that rewards precise aiming, so the mouse is the better choice if you have one. Touch controls work, but fine aim is harder with a thumb.

Tips

• Think about what holds a structure up. Hitting the pieces that support everything above them usually does more than shooting the top.
• Do not ignore the zombies for long. Clearing them as they appear keeps you free to concentrate on the demolition.
• Take a moment to line up each shot rather than firing wildly, since accuracy is the point of the game.
• Use the fullscreen button under the game for a larger view of the structure.

If you want something with action but a very different pace, Bloons Tower Defense 2 asks you to plan and place defenders rather than aim by hand. Day D Tower Rush is another way to take on enemies in waves. For a calmer change of rhythm, Helix Jump and Bouncy Basketball are quick one-button style games where timing matters more than shooting.

Tear Blocks Down suits players who like to experiment. There is no need to rush, and a short session is enough to see what the game offers.
