Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought, "What would happen if I fired a laser beam straight at Earth?" No? Just me? Well, either way, there's a game for that — and it's oddly one of the most relaxing experiences you can have on a screen.

Solar Smash is a planet destruction simulator that does exactly what it sounds like. You pick a planet, choose a weapon, and watch the chaos unfold. That's pretty much the whole premise. There's no storyline, no missions, no pressure — just you, a celestial body, and an increasingly ridiculous arsenal of ways to obliterate it.

It sounds destructive (because it is), but there's something genuinely fascinating about the physics, the visuals, and the sheer variety of ways a planet can meet its end. It's part sandbox game, part science curiosity, and honestly a little bit therapeutic after a rough day.
