Graphics
Smasher has its own custom-built graphics engine, with powerful features:- All graphics are procedural. Aside from a text font, graphics have been programmed using math. This process is exploited to provide a distinct visual experience, which evolves alongside your journey.
- Smasher runs silky-smooth on 240hz monitors. Thanks to framerate-independent motion calculations, the game supports any known monitor frequency.
- Animation is motion-blurred. Game elements are blurred to match each frame's exposure time, as if captured by a real-life film camera. This helps you visually track smasher's predators and prey.
- 4K monitor resolutions are supported. Play in crisp, high-detail.
Music and sound
Smasher also has its own custom-built virtual analog synthesizer. This synth was inspired by the Commodore 64's SID chip, but has evolved into a unique instrument: the Smasher Synth.All of Smasher's sound and music are generated through this synth. Prepare for a wild and bespoke procedural soundscape. The soundtrack is carefully composed to transmit Smasher's mood directly to your subconscious. This cannot be undone.
