SHATTER

Gameplay

In Shatter the goal is to stay alive for as long as possible. You have a limited amount of energy (shown at the top of the screen) and when it runs out it's GAME OVER. To keep things interesting, your energy will constantly drain as you play.

To make matters worse you will also have to deal with waves of enemies trying to run into you. Every time you collide with an enemy you lose some of your precious energy. Fortunately, you can gain energy back by shooting down enemies before they reach you.

If you feel overwhelmed you can use your special Time Warp ability to slow down time and give yourself a chance to escape.
