Natural Disasters 2: Build Destroy

The game has no levels, timer or goal; what you do with the space is up to you. Blocks are physical objects with their own weight and toughness, so a tall wooden tower behaves very differently from a stone wall or a glass bridge. Stacking carefully, then testing the result against a disaster, is the whole loop. When the rubble settles you can keep building, clear the board with one button, or start another disaster on top of the mess.

1. Press PLAY on the loading screen, then pick a material from the palette: Wood, Stone, Brick, Metal, TNT, Ice, Slime, Grass, Door or Glass.
2. Tap or click an empty spot to place a block. Blocks snap to a grid, and an occupied square cannot take a second block.
3. Press the disaster button (the explosion icon) and choose Earthquake, Tornado, Fire, Flood, Bomb, Storm, Meteors or Black Hole. Several can run at the same time.
4. Use Delete, Grab, Gun, Clear and BG to adjust the scene, then rebuild and try again.

Tap or click

Place the selected block on the grid

Delete button, then tap a block

Remove that block

Grab button, then drag

Pick up a block, move it and throw it

Gun button

Quick Gun: choose a material and place blocks while moving the pointer sideways to give them a push

Clear button

Remove every block at once

BG button

Choose a background: Sunny Day, Sunset Twilight, Starry Night, Snow Plain, Inferno Sky or Deep Space

Settings button

Set SFX and music volume, switch physics on or off, or change the background

• Ten materials, each with its own density and durability: wood, stone, brick, metal, TNT, ice, slime, grass, doors and glass.
• Glass and ice are fragile, metal is the toughest, and slime is deliberately bouncy.
• Eight disasters: earthquake, tornado, fire, flood, bomb, storm, meteors and black hole.
• Six backgrounds, including a snow plain, a starry night and deep space.

• Mix materials in one structure and see which parts survive. A stone base under a glass top fails differently from the reverse.
• Place TNT low in a tower, then start an earthquake so the shaking and the blast work together.
• Start a flood or storm first and build while it runs to test how your design handles moving water.
• If you want to test a design without it falling apart as you build, turn physics off in Settings, then turn it back on before the disaster.
