Shard Cycle is incremental game where the goal is to beat all layers by destroying required amount of crystals. To destroy more crystals you can upgrade your drill to be more effective with prospected currency. Layers also drop attachment and ability items that provide improved prospecting stats when equipped.

Beat Layers

The goal is to beat as much layers as you can (an learn a lot of achievements). Each layer has more crystal with more health and the requirements to beat that layer increases. But harder layers drop better items.

Upgrade Drill

By destroying more crystals you will gain more currency to upgrade the drill (cursors) which will help you destroy even more crystals. Simple, right.

Collect attachment and ability items
