Shoot N Crush is a brick breaker game. The player collects items for a queen by directing white balls or round objects to destroy numbered bricks and other items.
As the player earns coins and views ads over time, they can purchase different sports balls and animals that have round shapes, like a puffer fish and an octopus. If they watch an ad, they can start a stage, or level, with 50 balls that help break bricks faster.
Each stage has a specific goal in the upper-right area. The queen only needs the player to meet the goal before the bricks slide down to the bottom of the field. For example, the queen might ask them to collect unbreakable bricks marked with letters, break blocks of ice, burst rising hot air balloons, or blow up giant numbered bombs.
The player uses a dotted targeting line to help them make efficient, precise shots. The ball or balls usually have the most success when the line zigzags between bricks. The player then receives coin winnings. They can also claim a daily bonus and achievement rewards on the home screen.
Shoot N Crush offers boosters hidden inside of bricks and bubbles and as buttons below the field. Common boosters include a hammer that smashes any brick, a rocket that creates multiple explosions, a bomb that blows up a selected area, and a drill that takes out horizontal lines of bricks.
The game features a Rescue mode as well that requires the player to rescue the queen from flooding rooms. The player must pass a specific number of stages before they can play all five Rescue levels and receive a bonus gift box as their final reward.
