Teardown 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.

Accessibility Notes

You can adjust some settings for the campaign under the "game" tab in the settings menu. For example, some levels require you to do multiple tasks under time pressure and this timer can be increased through the settings menu.
