How to play VECTASMASH

Scrap every rival in a floodlit 3D demolition arena: ram soft flanks, scrape and dodge to charge SMASH, and build the knockout.

Goal: Clear each bout of the floodlit demolition arena by scrapping every rival. Your nose is armoured and their flanks and tails are not: ram the side that glows under them. Scrape past rivals, step out of a charge's red lane and drift round them to fill SMASH, then hold SMASH on a full meter for your most powerful ram, strong enough to finish a damaged rival. Nothing pays you for sitting still: a parked car becomes everyone's target.

How do you play VECTASMASH?

Clear each bout of the arena by scrapping every rival. Your nose is armoured and their flanks and tails are not, so ram the side that glows under them. Steer with ← → or the stick; the throttle is automatic. Hold ↑ or SPACE (or the SMASH pad) to burn SMASH, SHIFT to drift and ↓ to brake or reverse.

What fills the SMASH meter?

Only skill near rivals: grinding past one (a scrape), stepping out of a charge at the last moment (a dodge), a close pass, and a drift round a rival. A ram adds a little and every scrap tops it up. Burned from full, SMASH launches you and its first hit lands nearly twice as hard and throws the car: enough to finish a damaged rival, not a guaranteed one-hit scrap.

Why can't I just survive?

Time pays nothing here. Every second a bout lasts raises the heat, so rivals wind up faster and more of them hunt you, and a car that sits still becomes a sitting duck the whole arena turns on.

What is a KNOCKOUT?

A SMASH scrap you built yourself: a dodge or a drift round a rival, a scrape, then a full SMASH ram that scraps a car, all inside twelve seconds. It pays a big bonus on top of the scrap.
