Pane Shatter: Smash Glass

Pull, bounce, keep the still.

Download Free

A steel ball, a rubber sling, and a pane of glass. Pull the ball down, let go, and watch it ricochet off all four edges like a pool break. Every impact cracks the glass at that exact spot until the screen looks genuinely shattered. Then the pane falls apart — and your break is saved.

Why I Built This

Most destruction toys on the App Store are tap-to-crack stickers: you tap, a canned crack appears, nothing moves. I wanted the opposite — a real little physics sandbox where the throw matters. Stretch further and the ball flies harder. Aim the angle and the whole pattern of cracks changes. No two breaks look the same because no two throws are the same.

So the ball bounces like it should, dozens of times, off every edge. The cracks stack and weld into a spiderweb. And when the ball finally rests, that exact frame is yours to keep — a small trophy for a good throw.

Pull the ball. Break the glass. Keep the picture.

Pull Down. Let Go.

A chrome ball hangs in a rubber sling at the center of a dark studio. Drag it down — the rubber stretches, the power ring fills, haptics tick as you pass each notch. Release, and the sling snaps back empty while the ball takes off. Stretch distance is power. Pull angle is direction.

A Real Ricochet

This is the heart of the game. The ball flies like a pool-table break — extremely fast, off all four screen edges, dozens of hits in a row with almost no energy lost per bounce. Weak throws still rattle around. Hard throws are a blur of impacts. Gravity only takes over at the end to settle the ball.

Cracks Like Photographed Glass

Every edge impact stamps a star fracture at that exact spot, with stress rings and hairline fissures that taper like real beveled glass — not cartoon lines. Overlapping hits weld together into a genuine spiderweb. When the ball settles, that still frame is captured and saved before the pane collapses into falling shards.

A Gallery of Breaks

Every saved break lands in your gallery. Tap to view full screen, share your best shatters, delete the duds. Empty state says it plainly: break the glass — your shots land here. Stills can also be saved to your Photos library with your permission.

Shake It. Blow It. Split It.

Unlimited unlocks more ways to throw. Shake rattles the ball with device motion. Blow pushes it with your breath through the microphone. Split divides the ball into 2–5 smaller ones after the first bounce for chaotic multi-ball breaks. Plus electric ball colors and colored backgrounds for your stills.
