Shard Blaster

Steer through a drifting field of neon rocks and blast the big ones into smaller, faster shards. Grab power-ups, dodge the saucers, take down the mothership and chase your best score, wave after wave. Shard Blaster is a fast vector arcade shooter made for your phone: glowing light, synth sounds and one more go. ★ EASY TO PICK UP • Choose Easy, Medium or Hard, each with its own best score • Pick a top speed (Gentle, Steady or Arcade) while you learn the controls • Fly with arcade buttons, or an analogue stick that appears wherever your thumb lands • Play with a game controller (Bluetooth or USB) or a keyboard • A built-in How to play guide covers the controls and rules ★ NINE POWER-UPS Fly into a glowing diamond, or shoot it, to collect it: • Invincibility, Shield, Rapid fire, Missiles, Spread shot, Time slow and Magnet, each lasting 10 seconds • Smart bomb clears the screen in a flash • Extra ship, rare and precious ★ TOUGHER EVERY WAVE • Ice rocks split into three • Metal rocks take two hits • Explosive rocks take out everything nearby, including you if you're too close • Saucers hunt you, and the small ones aim • Every fifth wave, a mothership arrives with a regrowing shield, homing drones and rings of bullets ★ SCORE BIG • Chain quick hits into a combo multiplier, up to ×5 • Earn bonus ships as your score climbs • Big explosions shake the screen (or switch it off) ★ MAKE IT YOURS • Five themes: Synthwave, Matrix and Ice in neon, Colour-safe for colour blindness, and Deep space with shaded rocks over a painted galaxy • Retro touches: scrolling synthwave floor, twinkling stars and an optional CRT screen effect • A synthwave soundtrack that builds layer by layer as you play, or a classic arcade heartbeat • Play upright or turn your phone for a wider field ★ FREE AND PRIVATE No ads, no account, no tracking and nothing to unlock. The game itself never sends anything from your phone. If you're enjoying it, there's an optional tip in Settings, which unlocks nothing and is handled by Google Play.
