Did you pick up Shatter the other week? If you did you’ll know that it’s one of the best games on the PSN right now with addictive gameplay, fantastically integrated leader-boards and a cracking soundtrack. The game’s developers are clearly also aware of the game’s greatness and are currently working on getting it out to even more players.
A version of the title is already running on the Xbox 360 and PC, though a port still isn’t confirmed as the team are still reviewing whether or not to continue with the builds. Legally there wouldn’t be any problems porting as the game isn’t actually a Sony exclusive. Sidhe were drawn to the PSN by a “combination of good royalties, strong technology, and a well defined process for getting content to market” stating that the “PSN was an ideal first landing place for Shatter”.
To date the game has sold around 30,000 copies with around 60% of those sales coming from North America with the remaining 40% making up for Europe and Australasia. For those still wondering whether or not to join the number above, a demo is on the way.

Interesting that they’ve got builds working, but aren’t sure whether to release it. At the very least they could do a PC release with almost no trouble, given the lack of certification etc…

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

Yeah pretty sure it would fit great on eg. Steam.

If they do bring out more SHATTER games, they really need to make it a bit harder – the bosses are sometimes much too easy, eg- the 8th boss on boss mode you could defeat it in 30 secs . The price is great though, however i feel that once you complete this game it kinda ends really.
Soundtracks on it are awesome though.

I hope this does come to XBLA and PC as it’s a great game and I implore everyone to pick it up (bit disappointed at the relatively meagre 30,000 sales so far). I absolutely love the style and soundtrack, and it’s a little slice of near perfect retro gaming.

I love shatter. Bought it on a whim after hearing people talk it up and I wasn’t disappointed. Although I do disagree with the sound track, It’s like dance/techno and being somewhat of a musician I hate that kind of “Music”.
Great game though.
