Crack of Strike

Breaking rough stone

Crack of Strike is a pixel-art PC game about breaking rocks for gems while working in a shop whose boss takes the earnings. You tap a stone to test its surface, rotate it to find an opening, then choose where to strike. A rock hammer is your starting tool; a chisel and sledgehammer can be unlocked for different jobs.

Each hit chips away the stone’s shell, but force has risks. A heavy blow can send chunks flying and crack or shatter the gem inside. Hardness and cleavage affect how a stone breaks, so you have to judge the material before swinging.
