The full story
Desktop Games, also called Stress Reducers, was a 2000 freeware toy by Miroslav Němeček of Gemtree Software. It takes a picture of your screen and lets you wreck it. This unofficial nostalgia port brings it to macOS and the browser, analysed with REA and Ghidra.
All nine tools are there: a hammer that cracks the screen (the smash sound depends on how bright the spot is), a chainsaw, a machine gun, a flamethrower, a paint thrower that flood-fills, a phaser, rubber stamps, termites and more. All credit is given to the original author.
