Solar Smash Online is shorthand for variations of the game that have been created and shared by fans, whether they be official or unofficial, and can be played in a browser or multiplayer environment. The original solar smash was mostly a mobile app. Online leaderboards, sharing systems, or real-time graphics via web-based engines are common additions to these versions, which otherwise stay true to the original's spirit—destroying planets in high-fidelity 3D.
