About Shard Crusher
Smash drifting crystals to earn shards, then spend them on upgrades that carry into later runs. Choose routes through branching sectors with different objectives, shops and bosses. Relics modify each attempt while a persistent upgrade tree supports longer-term progression.
The map offers harvesting, defense, chain-clearing, shops, events, and rests. Relics affect the current run, while the upgrade tree persists into future attempts; harder sector difficulties unlock after victory.
How to Play
Sweep the ring over crystals to collect shards, choose a route through the sector map, and complete each node's goal. Spend shards on persistent upgrades and adapt to bosses and special node rules.
Controls
Mouse: move the ring, click map choices or detonations. Touch: drag; release aimed Chain shots to detonate. WASD/arrows: move. 1–3: active skills. Space: continue. P/Escape: pause.
Tips & Tricks
Read a node's objective before entering. Armored crystals need their exposed side, while a chain-reaction node rewards a well-placed detonation rather than ordinary sweeping.
