Get your hammers and loot bags ready, because the streets are about to get a lot more crowded—and a lot more broken. SLAP-BANG! Digital has officially announced that their debut title, Smash ‘N Grab, is launching its first-ever public demo on Steam today.

If you’ve been craving a game that rewards you for “redecorating” a mob empire with a sledgehammer, this is the one to watch.

A High-Octane Heist Inspired by Saturday Morning Cartoons
Smash ‘N Grab isn’t your typical slow-burn heist game. It’s a high-speed, destructive beat ’em up that feels like a playable cartoon. You control a chaotic duo—Smash (the heavy-hitting robot) and Grab (the agile raccoon)—tethered together by a rope.

The goal? Pull off the ultimate score while racing against a ruthless clock. The aesthetic is pure “Saturday Morning Cartoon” energy, but the gameplay is all about precision, speedrunning, and total environmental devastation.

Smash, Grab, and Shave the Clock

What sets this title apart is how it integrates destruction into its speedrunning DNA. In most games, breaking things slows you down. Here? Destroying valuables actually shaves seconds off your time. * SMASH: Bulldoze through walls and obstacles to find shortcuts.

GRAB: Use the tether to reel in enemies or grapple across gaps.

OPTIMIZE: Hunt for that elusive S-rank by perfecting your route through the level.

The faster you ransack the mob’s assets, the higher you climb on the global leaderboards.

Play the Demo During ‘Games from Ireland’

The demo launch is part of the Games from Ireland event on Steam, showcasing the best talent from the Irish indie scene. Based in Belfast, the team at SLAP-BANG! Digital is bringing a distinct, punchy energy to the genre.

Event Window: The demo is live from Friday, March 13, through Wednesday, March 19, 2026.

Whether you’re a speedrunning veteran or just someone who enjoys a good, stylised brawl, Smash ‘N Grab offers a fresh, “criminally satisfying” loop that is easy to pick up but notoriously difficult to master.
