Plan your next SmashCore session
Our guide helps you understand SmashCore’s core loops without promising hidden bonuses. By observing each system—gravity, physics, upgrades, exploration, and rewards—you can make informed choices that suit your play style.
01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Early and Late Gravity Effects
Record how the gravity cursor behaves before and after a few skill‑tree upgrades. Note differences in pull strength, chunk size, and dust yield to see upgrade impact.
- Observe how larger asteroids break into more dust, potentially yielding more upgrades.
- Compare early‑game and later‑game gravity effects to notice the impact of upgrades.
02 / THE GUIDE
Map Asteroid Chunk Patterns
During several smashes, sketch the fragment patterns that result. Comparing shapes helps you predict dust output and plan efficient destruction.
- Target the weakest points of an asteroid to maximize chunk loss per hit.
- Watch the physics reactions to learn which angles produce the most dust.
03 / THE GUIDE
Track Dust Income vs. Upgrade Cost
Log the amount of dust earned per asteroid and the cost of each skill‑tree node. This reveals which upgrades give the best return on investment.
- Plan your upgrades around the types of asteroids you encounter most often.
- Balance between power and efficiency upgrades to maintain a steady dust income.
04 / THE GUIDE
Explore Ore Variety Across Zones
Visit both early and deep space zones, noting the types of ores found. Contrast their abundance to gauge how far you need to progress for desired resources.
- Before venturing out, ensure you have enough upgrades to handle stronger asteroids.
- Compare the ore yields of early and deep zones to gauge progress.
05 / THE GUIDE
Assess Vault Rewards Over Time
Open the vault at different stages of your run and record the riches obtained. Comparing early versus late openings shows how wealth scales with progression.
- Track how much dust you have before opening the vault to maximize its impact.
- Observe the types of riches found to decide which upgrades are most valuable.
