Take control of Smash, a hulking robot drummer, and Grab, his cunning raccoon accomplice, as they tear a tethered trail of thievery through retro-futuristic environments inspired by the graphic style of Saul Bass, Samurai Jack, and Batman: The Animated Series.

Tethered by a rope, Smash can launch Grab to reel enemies in, seize valuables, and grapple through the environment. Players will demolish everything in their path as they race against the clock to secure the fastest escape, bagging the score of a lifetime.

With each attempt, players and speedrunners alike will shave precious seconds off their time in their pursuit of the coveted S ranked chaotic caper.

Together, they team up to loot everything in sight.

“Smash 'N Grab pulls double-duty as an ode to the Saturday morning cartoons we grew up watching and the high-scoring games we grew up playing,” stated Mark Skelton, director at SLAP-BANG! Digital. “With our first demo we want to introduce players to the frenetic duo of Smash and Grab, as they dive headfirst into a high-stakes art gallery heist.”

Smash 'N Grab’s first demo (available March 13 through March 19, 2026)  features a highly replayable single level. Players will smash everything in their way, grab loot, fight guards, and traverse platform sections as they try to escape as quickly as possible. Repeated attempts will allow them to try new routes and to perfect their strategy while seeking an elusive S rank.
