    Gorgeous to look at and challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. This Arkanoid style arcade game injects fresh life into the classic block-breaking formula. The 90-minute long original soundtrack is a joy to listen to whilst destroying bricks in vertical, horizontal and even circular arenas. For such a low price 'Shatter' is a must buy for those looking to relive classic nostalgia combined with all the modern trappings. Expand

    This game has nice visuals, style, and music. The block physics and suck/blow mechanic are unique and really distinguish this game from the other Breakout clones out there. Some boss battles are fun and can be challenging. However this is still a Breakout clone at heart. The improvements might not last very long to keep you from getting bored playing this genre.

    A nice twist on the blockbreaker genre, it's fun and, at times, challenging. The Soundtrack is electronic enthused and matches the game perfectly, it's a bargain price and it shouldn't be missed.

    A delight from beginning to end...Shatter stands right up there with Breakout and Arkanoid as one of (if not the) best brick-breaking games ever made.

    It's a fine interpretation of the old brick-breaker style, and it should keep you entertained, even if it's only once or twice.

    Taken as a whole, Shatter combines well-thought-out gameplay with a highly polished and immersive aesthetic. Only a particular type of person need apply, perhaps, but if you're into Geometry Wars or other score-based titles, Shatter should keep you satisfied.
