Released yesterday, Teardown's voxelized smash-and-grab sandbox has already won me over: in addition to being a satisfyingly Red Faction Guerrilla-style blocky and destructive sandbox, it also offers a solid campaign of criminal investigation The game is a tense heist that gradually escalates into an escapade. Tense heists gradually escalate, unlocking new tools, maps, and increasingly complex criminal challenges.

But while I've been driving a superyacht into a timeshare cabin or watching a fire slowly spread through an office block, others have found surprisingly creative uses for developer Dennis Gustafson's destructive toolset.

Why mess with demolition when a paint can and a plank of wood can give Teardown's badly aged motor some real street cred?

Being a new simulated physics sandbox, it was inevitable that people would eventually find a way to fly. All you need here is the old "lift the object you are standing on" trick.

One of the niftiest tools in Teardown is not even really a tool. While spray is the game's heist-route pioneering savior, it is also paint. So much so that some people use it to turn Teardown's fragile walls into canvases. [Graffiti is art, you chickenshits. Graffiti as vandalism, however, is a crime.

Speaking of art, now that you can import your own Voxel files into Teardown, artists like Andy Kelly can have their own level bank. It must be cathartic.

Teardown is available on Steam for £18.49/€19.99/€19.99.
