Detonator

About

Detonator tasks you with toppling towering structures using precise bomb placements. Each level gives you a limited number of explosives and a set budget to weaken supports, trigger chain reactions, and bring buildings crashing down. The puzzle element lies in figuring out which beams to target first while managing resources. The controls are straightforward but require careful planning as you test different detonation sequences. The split-screen mode lets two players tackle separate demolition challenges simultaneously or compete in versus rounds. While the core concept is simple, the difficulty scales as structures become more complex. With 80 single-player levels and a release that coincided with early 2000s PS2 puzzle trends, it carved a niche for physics-based destruction gameplay. The developer KAZe also worked on puzzle titles like Dr. Mario, and Detonator shares a similar focus on methodical problem solving.
