A physics-based puzzle game where players manipulate objects and use the laws of physics to solve puzzles, with a minimalistic art style and open-ended challenges.
Teardown is a physics-based puzzle video game developed by Swedish indie studio Tuxedo Labs. Released in early access in 2020, Teardown has quickly developed a dedicated fanbase for its unique open-ended approach to puzzle solving.
In Teardown, players are given tools to manipulate the environment and objects around them such as sledgehammers, explosives, vehicles, and magnets. The goal is to either complete an objective, escape, or simply cause as much destruction as possible. There are no set solutions - players are encouraged to leverage Teardown's realistic physics systems to creatively problem solve.
The game features a voxel-based graphics style that is both minimalistic and highly destructible. Every object and surface in Teardown's levels can be destroyed piece-by-piece. This, combined with advanced physics calculations running under the hood, allows for emergent and satisfying gameplay moments.
While still in early access, Teardown has proven popular especially among fans of non-linear, sandbox style games. Its emphasis on physics-based interaction over graphics makes for gameplay that feels dynamic and full of possibilities.
