About Shards
Shards is a modern and revolutionary approach to the classic breakout / arkanoid game. Your target is to break all the bricks in as short time as possible. Each of the 80 levels has its own fractal background, uniquely arranged as well as arbitrary scaled and rotated glass bricks for you to destroy. Enjoy various power-ups and a great original soundtrack.
It's a focused casual game made for fans of the genre. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: Memorize the first minute of each level. Reflexes carry you the rest of the way. When the speed ramps up, focus on one quadrant of the screen instead of the whole thing.
Shards is free to play and ready to go on Glaze Games — no app, no account, just tap Play and start.
