Every step is a weapon. Run, and the floor behind you rips out of the arena and smashes into your enemies. Every attack also deletes the ground you stand on, so the whole game is one question: how hard can you fight without trapping yourself? FIVE WAYS TO PLAY SHATTER - the original. One thumb, endless waves, a boss at the end of every world. ARSENAL - pick a weapon and fight with both thumbs. Seven weapons, from twin blades to the rift bow. HUNT - face a titan one on one. Learn its moves and beat your best clear time. GAUNTLET - room after room. Draft upgrades, break the elite, beat the boss, then go deeper. RIFT TRIALS - handcrafted challenges. Earn bronze, silver and gold. SIX WORLDS, SIX KEEPERS Ancient Ruins, Frost Vault, Molten Foundry, Void Garden, Clockwork Bastion and Sky Citadel. Every world has its own floor, its own hazards and a Keeper waiting at the end. SIX HEROES Ember, Volt, Rook, Echo, Brutus and Wraith. Each fights differently, has its own mastery track and its own skins. BUILD A RUN THAT BREAKS THE RIFT Draft upgrades, evolve them into something new, find relics and stack combos until the screen is full of chaos. Fire your RIFT ultimate when the meter fills. No two runs play the same. GO DEEPER THAN YOU SHOULD Clear a world, then keep the build you made and step into the next one. Every Rift Depth makes enemies tougher and rewards bigger. A REASON TO COME BACK Daily and Weekly Rifts that everyone plays the same, contracts, achievements, character mastery and seasons with a free Rift Pass. FAIR BY DESIGN No energy timers. No paywalled worlds. No forced ads mid-run. Rewarded ads are always optional. The premium Rift Pass track is cosmetics only, never power. PLAYS YOUR WAY Play offline, in portrait or landscape. No account needed to start. Sign in with Apple is optional and only protects your progress across devices. The game never asks for your name or email.

Biters & Bullets's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
