There's more than solo smashing. Quick matches drop up to 5 players onto a random website or one of 5 purpose-built maps for 90-second deathmatches, and private rooms hold up to 6 players on any site the host picks, first to 10 kills. There are also boss fights you can take on alone or as a team, daily challenges and 22 ranks earned through online play. Website owners can add a "Destroy this website" badge that opens the game on their own page.
How it was made: Destroy Any Website is made by Hugo Duprez and published by Sprite Fusion, the pixel-art toolkit he builds, which includes an AI pixel art generator and animator alongside a tilemap editor. In his submission to AIGamer, the developer says he used Sprite Fusion for all of the game's pixel art and Anthropic's Claude for help with the code. He describes the engine as custom. We haven't seen a breakdown of which assets were generated and which were drawn or edited by hand.
The game came out on September 28, 2026, when Duprez announced it in a post on X (@HugoDuprez) and in a Show HN post on Hacker News. The X post had passed 5.3 million views by November 11, and the game's About page lists coverage from English, Japanese, French and German sites in its first week. It's free to play at destroy.spritefusion.com, with optional cosmetic character skins, some of them rewards for beating bosses.
