Bigger Bang

Bigger Bang is a short-run wall-smashing game made from 3D voxels. At 3 a.m., with the neighbor’s thudding music keeping you awake, you take a hammer to the wall. Aim with the cursor and the hammer swings automatically; click to throw dynamite. Each run ends when your anger cools down, and you spend coins on upgrades before digging further into the same hole.

Break through the wall

Damage carries over between runs, so each hole remains and you can continue where you left off. As it grows, warm light and muffled music spill into your dark room. Eventually the neighbors stop dancing and stare back. Between runs, they tape the hole shut and throw slippers; you can rip it open again.

The neighbors’ reactions progress from “Did you hear something?” to “What’s with the wall?” and then “Kill the music!” As you chase the noise, you break through a neighbor, an apartment, a city sound barrier, a mountain, the planet’s crust and the membrane of spacetime. Each wall conceals a different noise-maker.

Hammer and focus

Repeatedly hitting one spot builds Focus. Your aiming ring heats up and your heart pounds just before a breakthrough. Overheat lets you push the hammer past its limits: the hotter it gets, the more coins you earn, until the handle cracks and snaps. You choose when to stop and let it cool.

Wallpaper rustles, bricks thud and debris piles up on the floor. A stick of dynamite can clear dozens of cells at once, and every run ends with one last outburst.

Upgrades and discoveries

Between runs, you can upgrade your hammer at the hardware store and pick a perk card after each breakthrough. Items hidden inside the walls include notes from a former tenant, a giant’s drumstick and an alien flyer. The game also has missions, a daily run and New Game+ after the ending.
