Ever wanted to simply blow-up things for fun? Well, you can do that and much more in Fake Island: Demolish!. Players can indulge in some nasty demolition action as you will be equipped with tons of TNT and dynamites ready to blow up some of the most iconic structures in the world. Of course, it’s not always going to be that easy. The game has some puzzling mechanics that need to be solved first before you get to see that satisfying explosion. In this article, we will be sharing some of our top tips and tricks to help you demolish objects faster and easier.  

Tip #1. Understand the Objectives 

Each level in Fake Island: Demolish! has specific objectives that you must meet to progress. These could include:

• Destroying a certain percentage of the structure.
• Causing the structure to collapse in a specific way.
• Minimizing or maximizing the use of explosives.
• Protecting certain areas or objects from damage.

Make sure you thoroughly understand the objectives before placing your explosives. This will help you plan your strategy and ensure you’re not wasting moves or resources.

Tip #2. Analyse the Given Structure

Before placing any explosives, take the time to examine the structure from all angles. Look for:

Weak Points: These are areas where a few well-placed explosives can cause the most damage, such as thin beams, connecting joints, or central pillars.

Load-Bearing Elements: Identifying load-bearing columns, beams, or supports is crucial. If these are destroyed, the entire structure will likely collapse.

Height and Balance: Tall structures are often top-heavy and can be toppled by targeting the base. Analyze how the weight is distributed to determine the best placement for explosives. 

Tip #3. Use Different Explosive Types

There are different types of explosives in Fake Island: Demolish!, each with its own strengths and uses. Understanding which type of explosive to use in each situation is key to achieving your objectives efficiently. Here are some of the key explosives:

Standard Dynamite: Offers a balanced explosion radius and is suitable for most situations.

Heavy Explosives: Cause larger blasts and are useful for demolishing thick walls or strong supports.

Directional Charges: Explode in a specific direction, which can be useful for targeting specific parts of the structure or avoiding collateral damage.

Remote Charges: Can be triggered manually, allowing you to time explosions for maximum effect.

Tip #4. Place Explosives at Key Areas

The area of placement is critical when dealing with explosives. This is what differentiates between a new player and an experienced veteran. Focus on load-bearing columns, joints, or central beams to cause a chain reaction that brings down more of the structure. Place explosives close enough to each other so that the explosion of one triggers the next, maximizing the destructive effect. Instead of placing all your explosives in one spot, distribute them across key areas to ensure a wider range of destruction. If a structure is tall or top-heavy, placing explosives at the base can cause the entire structure to topple over, maximizing destruction with minimal explosives.

Tip #5. Time the Destruction!

In some levels, players get to manually trigger explosions. Detonate explosives in a sequence that causes the structure to collapse in a controlled manner. For instance, you might want to bring down the central support first and then destroy the outer walls to maximize damage. If explosives are placed too close to each other, they might trigger at the same time and reduce the overall damage potential. Proper timing can help spread out the damage.

Tip #6. Replay and Repeat

Oftentimes, you will not clear a stage on the first try itself. Heck, it’s natural to feel confused or out of place when looking at some structures. Do not be afraid to replay and repeat levels multiple times. Each attempt will get you closer to understanding the level and finding the weak points that can topple down a structure. To determine which explosives and placements perform best, experiment with many varieties. If an attempt fails, determine what went wrong. Was the explosive poorly placed? Did you activate it too soon? Use this knowledge to modify your strategy.
