Easy to play, difficult to master, Shatter is an arcade dream, taking the basic concept of Pong, and flipping it on its tail. Suck in power ups, blow out fragments and manuever your ship through some beautiful environments and challenging bosses. I figured this would be a quick one off 10-minute pick-up game, but the "one more round" leveling and mastering the physics just sucks you in... It's fast, fun and challenging to figure out when to suck and when to blow to best position your ball for maximum fragmentation.

Recommended for arcade puzzle and shooter fans alike; Shatter is good for a quick blast, or an OCD high score mission. Plus Multiplayer hot seat or co-op and XBOX 360 controller support...I picked this Steam Key on sale at Amazon for 2.49. That didn't suck either... Enjoy.

Shatter is quite good and i have to say is all aroudn THE best block breaker game ive ever played. I spent a lot of time as a young kid playing Arkanoid with my family. My mother and I spent hours upon hours playing it, had the actual Arkanoid controller and everything. So this type of game is a classic to me. An all time favorite. Before i played this, Reaxxion was the best block breaker game that i had ever played, but it doesent even come close to being able to compare to Shatter. Shatte3r is in a class by itself.
You can control the ball once you get it down pat, you have the ability to push or pull the ball by using either the left or right mouse buttons. So as its bouncing aorund you can kind of direct it to where you want it to go. At first it seemed random to me. But after a few minutes oif play i caught on, and i was guiding the ball straight to the blocks i wanted it to hit, instead of just bouncing it off of my paddle and hoping it hit something like every other block breaker game in existence.
The graphics are really nice, the music fits well and is upbeat, gets you hyped up while playing. The controls are nice and tight, no movements you dont expect or anything of the sort. It also has boss battles. I've only odne 1 so far, and it was pretty interesting. Was battling a big snake-like thing that had a paddle on its head, hitting the ball back at me, and i needed to keep hitting its body to defeat it. After that, there was a bonus level where i had ot keep 3 balls in play at once, there were no blocks ont he screen, just the balls, but the gravity was random and made the balls fly all goofy, and got faster and faster as you went on.

If you're into block breaker games, you are definitely going to want this one. There i sno comparing it to any other, at least not that ive hand my hands on.

For the genre this game is in, on a scale of 1 throguh 10, its an easy 10/10.

Brick Breaker on crack. It's fun.

I heard and loved the beautiful electro soundtrack of Shatter at least a couple of years before having the opportunity to play the game itself, so with it being included in a recent Humble Bundle for a ridiculously low price a bum like me could afford, I jumped at making a purchase and have since been very eager to put my obviously high expectations on the line and finally give it a go! I got around to that last night and well, what can I say? I've had my high expectations completely... shattered! HAHAH! D: (that was completely unavoidable, I promise)

The producers of Shatter have taken on the rather daring task of taking 70's bounce the ball at the breakable blocks arcade classic, Breakout, and modernising it. Needless to say they've bloody well succeeded in doing so producing a game with the addition of beautiful visuals, a futurisitic feel, a wonderfully fitting soundtrack, and immensely fun and complex gameplay which also contains just the right amount of simplicity found from the roots! Please buy Shatter immediately so I don't feel so bad about paying so little for it, thank you! :D

An interesting brick-breaker game. There is some sort of physics simulation and the game tries to deliver a fresh take on how you interact with the projectile and debris from the shattered bricks.
It also features a decent local co-op mode.

What really made me like this game is the interesting gameplay, combined with the amazing soundtrack. A combination that really let's you flow through the levels.
