1000 Shards

Looks and plays like an asset flip. Very barebone mechanics and poorly thought out achievements.

1000 Shards is a "template flip", that is to say, it's a "game" that has been produced by copying a game template or using a game construction kit, and changing a few things. In this case it was a template/tutorial for making a Unity based endless runner. The "developer" didn't even bother trying to use complex game assets and went for primitive polygons, showing a distinct disdain for gamers through this sheer laziness. This is deplorably low quality bundle trash. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, copying a template/using a game construction kit requires no talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. It's almost as bad as an outright asset flip. This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab and should be avoided.

good game

I'm reviewing Steam games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/F98dnLySPIg Prefer to read? Unless you enjoy endless-runner style games with zero mechanics, don't bother with this game. If you can get the game to work (mine failed to load the main menu icons, so I got stuck) you'll be moving a ship to collect shards while avoiding obstacles until you either die, or somehow manage to collect 1000 of them. Either way, your time would be better spent cleaning the lint out of your belly button.

As other reviews mention, this game is very barebone. Not really worth spending money on, even 89p. Achievements also very poorly thought out.

[b]1000 Shards[/b] is a 3D vertical Scroller where you control a space ship collecting as many shards as possible while avoiding crashing onto blocks. Moving your ship up and down has no purpose at all since the game will be too fast around your 20th shard. Some shards give you more than one points and the developer didn't even bother giving them another colour. There is only one music track that will get on your nerves after a while. Also, getting the last achievement is impossible without cheating. The positive reviews are obviously fake. Avoid like the plague.
