Sunshard: Burn the Crystals

Sunshard is a one-thumb incremental arcade game about burning crystals with sunlight. Drag your thumb along the see-through strip at the bottom and the sun spot moves like a cursor on a touchpad, anywhere on the field. Crystals chime as they shatter, with a light vibration in your hand. There are no ads, and it plays in nine languages. HOW A RUN GOES A run is one day, and a day lasts a minute. Your Sunlight fades as the sun goes down, and every crystal you burn costs a little more in glare. Break what you can, then spend the shards on the upgrade tree and go again. The runs are short; the progress stays. WHAT IS IN THE GAME • Seventeen kinds of crystal in five sizes, all of them on the move, each with its own trick: amethyst splits, sunstone gives Sunlight back, emerald heals its neighbors, lodestone pulls every shard home, ruby bursts, obsidian glares, sapphire shields, the drifter runs away, diamond shrugs off part of each hit, prism doubles your damage, slivers swim in schools, amber drops a rarer currency, pearls roll fast and pay triple, urchins crawl toward your sun spot, constellations wind across the field and pay a bonus broken whole, and twin moons circle each other. • Nine regions in two arcs, each with its own ground and light: from sunlit sands to a sky of glittering ice, then on toward the sun through moonlight, a rose nebula and the gold of the corona. • Nine Hearts, giant geodes you call when you choose. One splits into four, one heals itself, one sends out shockwaves, one hides behind guards and the sixth does it all. The last three fight their own way: one wanders, one flickers out of reach, one drinks your Sunlight. A Heart that gets away keeps its cracks. • The second arc, after the sixth Heart: six new crystals (arrows streak past, phantoms fade in and out, mirrors and lanterns let your light through, fuses burst, umbras drain your Sunlight), moondust, the Moonlight branch it buys, and at the top of the tree a crown that opens a second ending. • An upgrade tree that grows out from the sun: more than a hundred nodes, paid in five currencies, opening branch by branch. Every node shows the number before and after you buy. • Sunwings, butterflies of light that burn crystals on their own, and an Observatory whose research runs while the app is open. • Twelve sun sigils that each change how a run plays, and cost something for it. Only a few can be worn at once, and the best choice changes from region to region. Six bridge nodes join two branches and reward buying both. • Bring down a Heart and choose one of three blessings, yours for good. • Meteor showers, rainbows that double your shards, and eclipses that change the rules. • Rimmed crystals from the third region: rich, hard, fast or giant. • Break ten in a second and a combo starts; every break in it pays more. • Every material sounds different, from the chime of glass to the crack of obsidian, and a critical hit, a ruby burst and a falling Heart each have a vibration of their own. • After the sixth Heart, Region ∞: floor after floor, with your best kept. • After the sixth Heart, a New Sun: start over with the Star Chart's stars, kept for good, and go further each time. • A daily challenge, the same for everyone that day, plus daily quests, twenty badges that climb from bronze to sun, and a collection to fill. • The Sun Mine makes shards while you are away.
