Shove boulders, fill the holes, claim the chest
Stone Smacker sets a red-haired hero loose in tidy top-down pixel rooms of grass, bushes, fences and heavy gray boulders. Holes and narrow passages stand between you and each treasure chest, and the right stone in the right hole opens the way. Stones only move when you push them, so one careless shove can wedge a boulder where it is no use to anyone.
How to play Stone Smacker
- Walk around the room first and note where the holes, stones and treasure chest are.
- Walk into a boulder to push it in that direction, and line up each push before you make it.
- Fill the holes that block your route, and swing your attack at bushes or other obstacles in the way.
- Reach the treasure chest to clear the room, or restart if a stone gets stuck where you cannot move it.

Tips to play better
- Plan backward from the chest: work out the last push you need, then the one before it.
- Never shove a stone into a corner unless it belongs there, because you cannot pull it back out.
- Ask which hole actually blocks your route; filling the nearest one first can waste a stone you need later.
- Try the attack button on bushes and odd-looking spots, since clearing them can open a new angle.

Stone Smacker FAQ
What if a stone ends up stuck?
Restart the room. A boulder wedged against a wall or in a corner cannot be pulled free, and a fresh start is quicker than wandering around a puzzle that can no longer be solved.
Is there fighting in Stone Smacker?
Only a little. The attack button is mainly a tool for clearing bushes and interacting with the room, so treat it as part of the puzzle rather than a fight.
