Shards is a modern and revolutionary approach to the classic brick breaking / arkanoid games from 80's. Every level has its own fractal background and uniquely arranged as well as arbitrary scaled and rotated glass bricks for you to destroy. Enjoy various power-ups and a great original soundtrack.

Enter a world full of glass: - 70 levels, - each level has its own original stunning fractal background, - glassy bricks are of arbitrary sizes and rotate to bring you interesting patterns to destroy, - ten power-ups will help you to clean the board, - two types of glassy enemies, - listen to an original soundtrack, - play through three difficulty levels

To install apps directly onto this device, it must be jailbroken with AppSync installed.

This has quickly jumped into my top five brick breakers. Smooth controls, great level design and simply gorgeous to look at! A real joy to play! Thanks devs and here's five stars you truly deserve!

Was a great app...until ios 9 came along. Now crashes on launch. :(

I would give it 4 stars if I weren't addicted

Honestly, while I don't love all the levels, I really enjoy most of them and play it several times a day.

LOVE this Game!

As an Arkanoid lover for 30+ years, I didn't think it could be improved upon. THIS app just improved upon it! It's an updated version in both graphics as well as sound. My new favorite game app!

Missing something

It's a very pretty game, and some of the power-ups are cool, but it's missing a crucial feature that most other "breakout" style games have: english. The angle of the bounce should be effected by the movement of the paddle when it hits. You should be able to redirect the ball that way. Here the aim seems largely arbitrary. It seems to be affected by where on the paddle you hit -- which is a start -- but not by movement. Fix that and you'd have a much better game.
