Support NeoGAF

[Agent X]

Shatter was a highly acclaimed downloadable game that was released on PlayStation 3 in 2009, and on PC in 2010. Players on and off NeoGAF loved this brick-breaking game in the vein of Breakout and Arkanoid, with clever play mechanics, intense boss battles, and an awesome musical soundtrack.

A few years later, Sidhe/PikPok announced that they would produce new versions of Shatter for other platforms. Many of us have waited patiently as the years passed.

True believers, the day has arrived. Shatter Remastered is available now!



This new version of the game is available exclusively for Netflix members with mobile devices using Android or iOS. While these might not be the platforms you were hoping to see the game released for, it turns out that Shatter Remastered makes a great portable game. You can enjoy the same "risk vs. reward" play mechanics, crazy bosses, and intense soundtrack, all in the palm of your hand. More information can be found in the following article:

I haven't bothered with any of the other Netflix games, but this one is definitely a quality effort that's worth playing. Give it a try, and hope that it encourages Netflix to keep offering games of similarly high quality...and also hope that the game also makes its way to more platforms soon.

lol “remastered” for mobile xD

But hey, that was a cool game on ps3.

 

[Emet_bp]

Would love to see the Shatter 2 on the new consoles. IMO first Shatter was the best arkanoid-style game since... Arkanoid

 

[GametimeUK]

I loved the original game. Cool little game and I think a mobile version makes a lot of sense. It would be a great fit for Nintendo Switch too.

 

[Stitch]

Everyone needs to play Shatter

Play Shatter on the Shitter

I really hope this isn't a permanent exclusive. Feels like they took this for the money and not for any other good reason.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Got excited when I saw the title - then the platforms. Was hoping this was PS5

 

[yurinka]

I loved this game on PS3, and would be nice to see it in modern consoles. I have Neflix but don't want to play this on mobile.

 

[yohan12]

Disappointed it's a mobile game, loved the original. The soundtrack is amazing

 

[PhaseJump]

Scrolled by and my brain read "Shatner" remastered.

 

[Bragr]

This new version of the game is available exclusively for Netflix members with mobile devices using Android or iOS.

 

[Kuranghi]

This is a fucking great game! The gameplay is varied and fun as hell and I still listen to the soundtrack to this day.

I loved this game on PS3, and would be nice to see it in modern consoles. I have Neflix but don't want to play this on mobile.

Yeah, I have it on PC. No way I'm playing this on mobile. I used to get mobile games all the time(sometimes I still do) thinking I would casually play them once in awhile, but like playing Switch as a hand held, it's just not for me. I like to play games on a TV. Hopefully, Netflix let's this game go multi platform at some point then this remaster will have my interest.

It's sad that non in-app purchasing is a selling point these days.

This new version of the game is available exclusively for Netflix members with mobile devices using Android or iOS.

 

[Kdad]

Netflix outbid Stadia for this, thus cratering Stadia's future.

 

[stranno]

Finished it today and it is a fairly decent Breakout clone.

Anyone knows if Shatter had an iPad version back in the day? It was announced, but I cannot find any more information. If it came out, it's definitely lost.
