ShardslingArcade · Free to play

Defend your planet. Break the belt.

Rings of numbered shards close in on your planet, one ring every turn. Drag to aim, let go, and watch your whole volley of comets curve with gravity, ricochet off shards and bounce back home. Every hit chips a shard; break them all before they reach the atmosphere.

Why it sticks

One thumb. Endless orbits.

A round arena

The block-breaker you know, wrapped around a planet. Balls arc with gravity, bounce off the force field and dock back home.

Trick shots

Clip a shard's corner and your comets skim sideways along the ring. Break fifteen in one skim for a RICOCHET!

Daily Orbit

One run a day, the same for everyone, with a twist: low gravity, bomb storms, or a magnetar that bends every shot.

Music that plays along

Every hit lands on the beat and in key with the soundtrack, so a big volley turns into a melody.

Make it yours

18 comets, 10 planets and 8 themes that recolour the whole game, plus rare ones you can only earn by playing.

Fair by design

No banners and no pop-up ads. The shop is purely cosmetic, and your progress stays on your phone.
