Gameplay instructions
Smash Cut is a monster movie you shoot, then edit.
1. Cast a monster (Pangoliath, Rust Bucket, Voltor, Magmahemoth, Sonic-Surge or Frost Titan) and a district (Downtown, Waterfront or Neon), read the brief with your shot list, then start the take. Each monster opens with its own short entrance scene (skippable).
2. The take: 90 seconds to wreck the city while the cameras roll. Hit the shots on your shot list; the world markers show the goals. Keep hitting things to fill the combo ring around the multiplier (up to x5); it drains when you stop. Hold CUT to end the take early. Swing, tail sweep, stomp, leap, grab and throw cars, roar for the camera.
3. The director's chair: the cameras' footage is yours to edit. Click a clip to preview it, drag it down onto your cut (on a gamepad, press A on a focused clip). Trim clips, reorder them, add slow motion, a film look and a soundtrack, then upload it for the premiere. The first visit shows step-by-step help.
4. The premiere: three critics watch your cut in a cinema hall and score it in half stars; the box office pays out. Spend the money in the shop on new monsters, cameras, lenses, film looks and special moves, then shoot again. Every monster gets its own B-movie poster.
A short "How It Works" board shows on your first visit (also in the menu), and the in-game Controls page lists every button for the device you are using.
