I think a game with that name already exists, but the name is just so fitting.

Story: The Parfnar have conquered the galaxy. Always strong warriors, their vicitory was assured when the developed an material that was indestructible. Their ships, even each individual soldier was suddenly invincible (suddenly as in... the few centuries it took to produce enough and cover their power armor and ship hulls with the material).
All planets are now under Parfnar's rule and they continued their iron grip for so long people have forgotten how it was before being conquered.

However the command of Parfnar has received worrysome news. 5 soldiers have been killed... while they were wearing their armor.... the fleet is mobilized. This thread has to be eliminated immediately before the rumors spread and planets uprise.

You are Qixxia. A creature hailing from a swampy planet in an off corner of the galaxy. Hardly worth the effort to conquer Parfnar only established a pro forma outpost there. You are a female scientist working for the Parfnar and with a combination of mag genius inspiration and sheer luck, you developed the ultimate gun.
This weapon does no destory normal matter, it destorys the underlying fabric of reality itself. As such the impenetrable Parfnar armor is as effective as a sheet of paper.
But all of Parfnar is out to get your tail... all you got is your new toy to liberate the galaxy.

Gameplay: This game is an FPS with the twist that you get the BFG at the start of the game. There are no upgrades to it and it won't get stronger. The problem is that it destroys everything!
Fire modes:
Beam - Fires a white beam with half a millimeter thickness. Essentially a thin light saber with infinite length  (technically its roughly 1 light year, but on a planetary scale it might as well be infinite).
Charge - By charging up you can fire a single much thicker beam. The diameter of the beam can be increased to 5 meters (if you charge long enough). Range is as infinite as the beam.

The goal of the game is to proceed through the stages and killing enemies without destroying the part of the map you need such as computer terminals, ladders, reactor cores and others.
If you fire your weapon in a space ship for example it will exit through the hull and decompression starts. Better wear a space suit!
Of course doors make no sense since you can just destory it. However if something is behind the door you need... maybe you do want to use the key.

Notes: Btw. the device Qixxia is holding in her left hand is a personal computer/tablet. It can project holograms of course.
The blue stuff in front of her weapon is also a hologram helping with aiming.

There's no 'Overkill'.
There's 'SHOOT!' and 'I NEED TO RELOAD!'

XD but the game concept seems quite trollish! you could destroy something important at the end of the stage, with your first shoot, without knowing it!

Indeed thats the idea. The diffculty of the game comes from the fact that you can't use your weapon as freely as you'd like. Sometimes... less is more. But it should be fun.

Problem is programming. Usually games save RAM by only loading the things you can see. If you have fully destructible environment, then you could make all parts of the map visible and drop your frame rate in the dumps.

Really cute design, and the game idea is interesting. Using the beam on a ship without decompressing it is almost impossible. Older ships may have minor self-repair measures against micrometeroids but the newer ships won't. So you need to aim really carefully so you don't decompress the wrong parts or cause a reactor leak. Then there is also the possibility that shooting too large holes into the fabric of reality has its own side effects, maybe lovecraftian gods escaping from behind the walls of reality as we know it. They may even have sent her the inspiration for the gun, the one equation that is the key to it, to then use this key to escape their prison - which speaks of a grim fate for the galaxy, for they were sealed away for a reason.

Well its more of a fun puzzler/shooter. However I do like the idea of something sending here that inspiration that has plans with the gun and its effects)

sounds interesting, it might be easier to code and run if the weapon was limited to a shorter range, say 50 meters

I don't know much of programming, but it would indeed by very difficult to address the problem of needing the whole map rendered, because a player could shoot and then see everywhere.
It much likely would have to be a very simplistic design (like minecraft) so rendering so much would not be a drain on resources.

However this is just theorycrafting since I can't program anyway.
