SMASH IT is a simple game of clicking things. The goal of each stage is click the designated item as it shows up on the screen. The stage starts moving faster the longer it keeps going. Clicking on a bomb, clicking on the ground and missing a designated item will result in you losing one health. If you lose three health the game ends and you have to restart the stage. There is some randomness to each stage as far as how each one plays out and no two stages were the same.
On the surface this looks like a basic game. And while it is basic and easy, the game does a decent job of testing your reaction time. Granted, other games can do it better. The game uses big sprites and basic backgrounds for its stages while the music and sound effects are also very basic. I would say this is a decent first game that someone probably made.
Except I have one problem with this game. There are five different stages and each stage has its own designated item. In order to unlock the four other stages you have to collect a certain number of stars from doing previous stages. My problem is I can not find anywhere on how to get a three star rating on a stage. I would have thought it was tied to your score in the stage, but I have cleared the first stage multiple times and only ever get one star. Due to this, I have only unlocked two out of the five stages in the game. I'm going to guess and say the other three stages are going to play out the same as the first two but it is just a guess.
