Play OverviewPlay Overview

Teardown (2020) is a creative traversal game where you plan and execute a heist in fully destructible environments. Play involves knocking routes through the destructible buildings to set an escape route to steal the key cards. It’s an unusual game because you can destroy anything, it's real-world physics and the two phases of gameplay: prepare and execute.

Your objective is to collect the key cards that are hidden around the map. However taking one triggers the alarm, giving you only sixty seconds before you’re busted. You must plan your approach, and prepare the arena beforehand to have a chance of winning.

By destroying walls, creating platforms and driving vehicles, you can create a unique escape. This can be aided with the use of tools such as blow torches, sledgehammers, fire extinguishers, guns and explosives. If you fail you can simply restart the mission and plan a new route or strategy.

The campaign mode follows the story of you and your company, increasing in debt, as you perform various heists and missions closely linked with characters you meet along the way. You can also discover new tools and other hidden valuables to be used in later missions. The realistic yet pixel-like game creates an interactive and creative world to explore, with little or no limit to what you can achieve.
