Vault Smash
Cannon smash
Drag back, let go, and send tennis balls into a gallery of googly-eyed loot. Glass shatters, chandeliers drop, seesaws fling. 30 physics levels.
Play Vault Smash →PHYSICS GAMES
Free physics puzzles from the Match Heist crew: fire a cannon, cut a rope, work a crane, throw at a stall or dig for water, and let gravity do the rest.
Each game has 30 hand-built levels and runs in the browser you already have, on a phone or a desktop. Like everything else on this site there are no ads, no purchases, nothing to download and no sign-up. Things wobble, bonk and fall over in roughly the order the laws of motion intended, and Sir Wagsworth reacts to all of it.

Pick a job
Five ways to move stolen loot, and one corgi, with physics. Each one starts with a gentle first level and adds a new contraption every few levels.
Loot Drop
Rope cutting
Swipe to cut ropes, pop balloons and dodge lasers so the Big Rock lands in Sir Wagsworth's paws. Thirty rope-cutting puzzles, three coins each.
Play Loot Drop →
Van Stacker
Crane stacking
Time each drop from a gliding crane so safes, pianos and a nervous rubber duck land in the getaway van. 30 levels, with wind, hills and springs.
Play Van Stacker →
Smash & Grab
Tap to throw
Tap anywhere and Sir Wagsworth throws a ball at that spot. Knock every tin, crate and jar off the table before the balls run out. 30 levels in 3D, across a rooftop, a harbour and an icy vault.
Play Smash & Grab →
Bath Time
Dig and pour
Drag to dig through the dirt and guide the water down to Sir Wagsworth's tub, washing over three rubber ducks on the way. Poison, ooze and steam join in later. 30 levels.
Play Bath Time →How the physics games work
Four of them run on a proper rigid-body physics engine, stepped at a fixed 60 times a second; Bath Time uses a particle fluid solver stepped the same way. That is why a stack that settles stays settled, why a pool goes flat and stays flat, and why the same shot does the same thing twice. Timing and aim decide the result; there is no random number deciding whether the tower falls.
Stars reward tidy play, not grinding
Clearing a level is enough to unlock the next one. Stars are for doing it neatly: fewer cannonballs in Vault Smash, more coins collected on the way down in Loot Drop, more perfect centre drops in Van Stacker, balls left over in Smash & Grab and ducks filled in Bath Time. Every level, three stars included, is checked by a script that plays it through the same engine before it ships.
Failing is part of the entertainment
A missed level costs nothing but a restart, which is one tap. Since you will see a fair amount of loot hitting the pavement, we made that bit worth watching: sad trombones, wincing corgis and gold bars with opinions about where they landed. Sound is on by default and the mute button is shared with every other game on the site.
Questions about the physics games
Are these physics games free?
Yes. All of them run in your browser with no ads, no purchases, no download and no account. Open a game page and the first level is ready.
Do the physics games work on a phone?
Yes. Each game is built to be played one-handed on a phone and with a mouse on a desktop. Vault Smash is drawn in landscape, so its loot looks smaller on a phone held upright. Smash & Grab is in 3D and runs on any phone with WebGL, which is nearly all of them.
Is every level actually beatable?
Yes. Before a level ships, a test script plays it through the same physics engine the game uses and checks it can be won and that three stars are reachable.
Where is my progress saved?
In your browser's local storage on that device. Clearing site data resets it, and progress does not carry between devices.
