About this game

AmberShard is an arcade game about collecting glowing crystal shards while avoiding dangerous objects. Tap the true shards as they appear across the playfield, build combos, and reach the required number of successful catches to advance through 16 stages.

In AmberShard, each successful tap adds points and increases your combo multiplier. The score reward grows with your current stage and combo, giving you a reason to keep collecting shards accurately. Completing a stage also grants a bonus based on your progress and remaining lives.

Not every shard is safe. Decoys and fractures are dangerous targets. Tapping either one costs a life, resets your combo, and removes points from your score. True shards can also become a risk if you leave them untouched for too long: when their time on the field expires, you lose a life and your combo is reset.

Some stages introduce a special HOLD shard. Instead of tapping it briefly, press and keep holding it until the progress completes. Releasing too early causes a penalty, so watch the hold indicator and maintain contact for the required duration. These special targets provide a higher score reward when collected successfully.

AmberShard gradually increases the challenge across its 16 stages. The number of required shards rises from four in the opening stage to eleven in the final one. Later stages introduce more decoys and fractures, faster object movement, shorter target lifetimes, and smaller shards. HOLD targets also appear in selected stages, adding another interaction to master.

Choose between three difficulty settings. Easy mode starts with nine lives, slower-moving objects, longer target lifetimes, fewer decoys, and a longer interval between waves. Normal mode provides seven lives and standard challenge settings. Hard mode starts with five lives, faster movement, shorter lifetimes, more decoys and fractures, and shorter gaps between waves.

AmberShard tracks your score, best result, remaining lives, current stage, and combo. You can pause and resume a run, restart the game, and turn sound effects on or off. Selectable color themes let you change the visual accents of the playfield and interface.

Collect the real shards, handle HOLD targets carefully, and avoid dangerous fragments as you climb through every stage in AmberShard.
