The Solar Smash blog covers the planet-destruction genre in depth: how the game works under the hood, the history of sandbox destruction games, comparisons between Solar Smash, Universe Sandbox and Melon Sandbox, and practical tips for getting more out of each weapon. Articles are written for people who have already played and want to understand what they saw, not for search engines. Expect specifics, not generalities.
