Patch 2025 is now live!
The latest patch will introduce awesome gameplay updates that will further expand your gameplay experience. 🕹️

With this update you'll now be able to save / load scenes using the blueprint feature. This will allow you to create cool battle scenes that you can just quickly load and save, and alter whenever you want. A blueprint state will include all combat entities as well as the current selected background (if any). Another cool thing - that was also requested by the community - is the pause key toggle. This is especially useful if you want to take a longer look at a frozen state of your current destruction - and make better screenshots. Furthermore two more fireworks tools have been added, given that we're heading closer to new years eve: The cake and the mortar. Check out for yourself! See a full changelog below.
Note: Since there have been changes applied to the API, all workshop items must now comply with the recent changes! Please update your workshop tools accordingly.
Full changelog:
Blueprints: Save/load gameplay scenes
Cake tool: A fireworks cake with beautiful colors and explosions
Mortar tool: A fireworks tool with beautiful colors and explosions
Pause toggle: Pause/resume game to make better screenshots
Better looking general decal sprite
API endpoint to use the popup message feature
Misc improvements and bugfixes
I'm very thankful for all the players supporting the game throughout the last years. It's really awesome that this fan remake game of the ancient Desktop Destroyer is so well recieved by the community. I hope the new features will spark even more joy. To many more years playing Casual Desktop Game! 💪
Have fun!

New game homepage
Hey guys, The domain of the official game homepage changed. Instead of a .net domain it is now a .com domain. Why? Because many products have a .com domain even if they are for free. Also according to certain SEO blog posts, .com might be ranked better than .net. So, the new home
