Teardown is a 2022 sandbox game with puzzle and action elements. Developed and published by Tuxedo Labs, the game revolves around the owner of a financially stricken demolition company, who is caught undertaking a questionable job and becomes entangled in helping police investigations while taking on further dubious assignments. Teardown features levels made of destructible voxels, and the player follows the campaign through consecutive missions. In most missions, the player must collect or destroy objects connected to a security alarm that triggers a timer. The player has unlimited time to prepare and is given upgradable tools, vehicles, and explosives to create a path within the level that allows them to complete the objectives and reach a getaway vehicle before the timer runs out.
