Solar Smash is a destruction simulator made by Paradyme Games back in 2020, or at the very least became popular in 2020. In it, you rain destruction upon Earth and other planets throughout multiple Star systems.
Contains examples of:
- Apocalypse How: goes from Class 0 right up to Class X2, depending on much you destroy. One achievement (Cluster Smasher) implies a High Class X2.
- Armor-Piercing Attack: The God Fist can go through multiple layers of Deflector Shields, devastating the planet below. Using them to kill Earth unlocks a secret planet.
- Beehive Barrier: Two examples: Machineworld is covered in Deflector Shields powered by a Dyson Sphere powered by a neutron star (in the shape of a truncated icosahedron), and the custom planet can have this too (though in the shape of an icosahedron), except powered by two spacecraft just above the poles of the planet.
- Colony Drop: Exaggerated, in that you can rain anywhere from a meteor shower, one giant asteroid at varying speeds, the entire Moon (changed to Earth in Gas Giants and The Sun, and changed to Ceres when at Pluto or on the Moon), one planet into another planet, or even The Sun into a planet!
- Deflector Shields: Aside from the Beehive Barrier examples, there are also two spacecrafts that summons forcefields directly above them (a blue one, and a larger green one) though you will need quite a few stacked on top of each other to stop the God Fist.
- Dyson Sphere: Machineworld is, or at the very least, contains one, orbiting a neutron star.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: There are three ways to do this: use the Planet Killer in Planet Smash and 2D, heat up the planet until it explodes in System Smash, or make the host star explode in Planet Smash or System Smash. (The last one gives you an achievement.)
- Hurl It into the Sun: Both Played Straight and Inverted in System Smash: You can throw a planet into The Sun, or throw The Sun into a planet. Both net the "Sunburnt" achievement.
- Kill Sat: The Planet Killer is a satellite equipped with a Wave-Motion Gun that makes the Earth go kablooey.
- Rogue Planet: You can throw a planet outnote of the system in System Smash. Exaggerated because you can also make The Sun rogue (which doesn't make sense), and doing either of these will grant an achievement.
- Salt the Earth: In earlier versions, the Nuclear Missile wiped out all life on the Planet unfortunate enough to be its target.
- Unrealistic Black Hole: Unlike most examples, The Black Hole isn't unrealistic because it sucks up more than it should, but because it both sucks up less than it should and disappears. This only happens in Planet Smash and 2D; System Smash doesn't have this problem.
