How to Play Destroy Website
You control a pixel character with a jetpack, standing on top of a web page that has been rebuilt as a level. Your job is to destroy as much of it as possible. This page covers every control, both game modes and exactly how points work. Ready already? Jump in and play.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| A / D or ← / → | Move left / right |
| W, Space or ↑ (hold) | Jump, then hold to use the jetpack |
| Mouse | Aim |
| Left click (hold) | Fire |
| 1 – 7 or mouse wheel | Switch weapon |
| R | Restart the run |
| Esc | Pause / quit |
The jetpack is the heart of movement. Tap jump to hop, then keep holding to climb. Short taps give small hops and long holds give height, so feather it to stay in control.
Game modes
60-second challenge
The clock starts when the level loads. Destroy as many elements as you can before it hits zero. At the end you get your score and a share link. Your best score is kept in your browser, so you can try to beat yourself on the same target.
Sandbox
No timer, no pressure. Use sandbox to test weapons, explore a big page, or simply enjoy flattening a site you find annoying. Press R to rebuild the level whenever you want a fresh start.
Touch mode
On phones and tablets the game switches to touch controls: tap to blast, and use the on-screen buttons to move and fly. It plays fine, but desktop is better. A mouse gives you far more accurate aim, and a keyboard makes weapon switching instant.
Scoring
Every destroyed element is worth points based on what it is. Big visual targets pay the most.
| Element | Points |
|---|---|
| Headings | 20 |
| Text blocks | 10 |
| Images | 25 |
| Buttons | 15 |
| Links | 5 |
| Navigation items | 10 |
| Lists | 10 |
| Plain boxes and containers | 5 |
Combo multiplier
Destroy something within 1.5 seconds of your last kill and your combo grows, raising the multiplier from x1 up to x5. If 1.5 seconds pass with no kill, the combo decays and you start climbing again. An image at x5 is worth five times its normal value, so keeping the chain alive matters more than any single shot.
Tips for a higher score
- Scan the page first. Large images and headings are worth the most points per hit.
- Do not stop to aim perfectly. A steady stream of kills beats a few precise ones because of the combo.
- Fly above the page, then drop down on dense areas with an explosive weapon.
- Match the weapon to the target. The weapons guide lists what each one is best at.
- Try different sites. A long article, a store grid and a landing page all play differently.
