Destruction-Sandbox Teardown is the next proper indie smash-hit

PC gamers have their next must-play indie title with Teardown. The impressive destruction model and creative design create a truly open mission design. You can get the game right now on Steam Early Access for just $19.99!

Physics in games are more often than not just visual fluff. It’s usually used for nice effects but rarely affect the actual gameplay. This is exactly why gamers today still fondly remember the Gravity Gun of Half-Life 2.

Sadly, most games ever since didn’t utilize physics and destruction to a similar extent. In fact, Tuxedo Labs’ Teardown is arguably one of the highlight games that truly revolve around destructible environments as its main gameplay pillar.

That and the player’s imagination. You’re not playing a construction worker after all, so destruction is only a means to an end. In this case, achieving the perfect heist.

The moment you pick up your first target, an alarm goes off, and the heat is on. Run, jump, drive, slingshot, do whatever you need to collect all of the targets, and escape before security arrives.

Teardown features a variety of levels and missions that require careful planning and cunning to succeed. Use heavy machinery to destroy walls, shatter obstacles with explosives, and create your path. Missions are anything but calm, however. So, you have to act fast before the police takes you down.

The Early Access version includes the first part of the story and a sandbox mode. Here, you can create your own levels without any restrictions. It’s a good slice of the final vision but far from complete.

Players can already import their Voxel creations from MagicaVoxel into Teardown. A powerful and free Voxel tool that will surely help with the modding scene. It’s not an optimal solution but Tuxedo Labs confirmed their plans for a custom level editor and scripting tools in the future.
