Our take on Break The Targets
The focus on short timed runs gives up the slower exploration and narrative progression found in broader platformers. Its large stage count, rankings, custom levels, and bonus modes instead favor repeated attempts, comparison, and technical route refinement.
What is Break The Targets?
Break The Targets is a time-trial platformer built around completing stages quickly.
It includes 140 levels intended to be finished in under 30 seconds, plus 25 tribute stages with online rankings. Players can create and share stages through the level editor, compete against leaderboard ghosts or recorded runs, and spectate community replays. Two characters have different properties and attacks, with additional abilities unlocked through experience levels. The game also includes gamepad configuration, tool-assisted speedrun support, replay sharing, and several bonus modes, including real-time Discord Battles, one-minute target destruction, survival, endurance, marathon, and random micro-level challenges.
