игру забыли доделать но она про круги квадраты трегуольники так что ничего страшного ведь я люблю игры про квадраты круги и где треугольники квадраты круг спасибо
It's hard to mess up these incremental games, but this one manages it. It just isn't fun. The main limitation you run into is just waiting for the right enemy to spawn as you collect tons of resources that ultimately mean nothing after a you get the few upgrades for it. Also, some of the audio and visual often unsatisfying and even annoying. What is that annoying sound that plays all the time - is it an enemy attacking me? Why do my turrets not shoot half the time? Why is there a "coin" currency always on display, despite it being used only for a few upgrades and never again? What is the point of XP? Why are there level gates on the difficulties, even though there is absolutely no way I'll have the resources required to unlock the next difficulty before hitting the level requirement?
The game is minimalist but has its charm, and the progression is fast and rewarding, making it addictive from the very first minutes
I had fun with it. The pace seemed to be a little sluggish in the middle, but eventually I powered through (total game time under 13 hours, so wasn't a real struggle) and finished the game. While not redefining the genre, it was compelling enough to play through until the end. For the price, it was well worth the numbers going up for a few hours.
A great game with a smooth and rewarding progression. Upgrading and evolving your character feels really satisfying.
The story isn’t that important. You’re a hacker employed by a corporation to train and manage its defense AI against hackers with less noble intentions. Your job is to move the crosshair over targets moving across the screen and keep it on them to attack. Attacks happen automatically, so all you have to do is move the cursor. Time is limited, and since you’re very weak at the start, you’ll only be able to destroy one threat. However, losing is part of the game. Each destroyed threat earns you credits and materials that are spent on upgrades. The upgrade tree starts with a single upgrade in the center, while the rest remain hidden. Once you purchase an upgrade, new ones connected to it are revealed. The only thing missing is a visual aid showing which upgrades you can afford; without it, you have to hover over each upgrade individually to check. Some upgrades can be purchased multiple times to boost their effectiveness, but you don’t need to max them out to unlock the next one. All upgrades are interesting; some provide standard perks such as increased damage, a larger crosshair that hits more targets, faster attacks, and so on, while others introduce new elements. For instance, you can buy a defense turret, a lightning strike to accompany your normal attack, a defender that automatically generates money from the upgrade screen, or a stronger attack triggered by left-clicking. The downside is that some of these special upgrades aren’t very useful. The turret, for example, does very little damage, and the orbs that float around you seem to do nothing at all. Better upgrades require special materials called shards. These come in various colors and correspond to the shapes you’re destroying. The green circle is the weakest, followed by the stronger red square, then the even stronger blue triangle, and so on. To spawn new shapes, you first need to buy the corresponding upgrade and defeat a boss. Doing so unlocks defense tiers that replace the weaker starting shapes with stronger ones. Another currency type is vault keys. These also come in three varieties and are used to unlock certain upgrades. However, they can also be spent for free resources. Eventually, you’ll accumulate so many keys that it’s best to use them regularly. Unfortunately, the spawn rate for the other two key types appears to be broken. I was able to finish the game without ever seeing them. On the bright side, the upgrades they unlock aren’t essential and won’t prevent you from reaching the end. The game’s length feels perfect for this genre, just a couple of hours, and you can earn all achievements by defeating all three bosses.
Cyber Shard Clicker captures the core appeal of incremental games—it’s quick, punchy, and offers that addictive loop of clicking, upgrading, and watching your numbers go up. There’s an immediate satisfaction to unlocking new turrets, beefing up your cyber defenses, and plowing through waves of digital enemies, especially in those first couple of hours. The pixel art does a solid job evoking a neon-drenched cyberpunk vibe, and the fast session-based play is perfectly suited for those moments when you just want something light to chip away at while listening to a podcast. The upgrade system brings enough variety to stay interesting, especially with options to automate some of the clicking via “hacker” helpers and turrets. Early progression feels brisk, with just enough pop and feedback to keep you chasing the next power boost. However, the game stumbles once you hit the late game. Currency balance becomes questionable: lower tier resources pile up uselessly while higher tier ones are a frustrating grind, and some resource types just stop having a purpose. Progression can feel artificially throttled by waiting for rare enemy spawns, and there are odd interface choices—like currencies always being displayed even after you’ve stopped needing them. Odd audio cues and occasionally buggy systems (such as inactive turrets or currencies not appearing as expected) create mild annoyances. By the time you reach the end, progression almost stalls out, especially if chance isn’t on your side with certain upgrade materials. Level-gated difficulties feel more like a formality, since by the time you reach required levels you’re still waiting on that stubborn last upgrade drop. Cyber Shard Clicker is a decent diversion if you enjoy incremental games and don’t mind a bit of friction or grind in exchange for those early dopamine hits. It’s satisfying for a few hours of play and scratch that idle/clicker itch, but don’t expect a long-term engagement or a steady late-game ramp. If you’re looking for a short cyberpunk-flavored clicker to occupy an evening, this will do the trick—just don’t be surprised if you want more depth or polish once the initial fun fades. With some tweaking and balance improvements, it could become a real standout in the genre. For now, it’s a nice, if imperfect, little time waster.
[b]CYBER SHART CLICKER[/b], definitely feels like an incremental game that is some sort of high school project. The gameplay is uninspiring with the only thing you have to do is click basic shapes. Previous currencies becomes, ranging from, redundant or completely worthless very quickly. Additionally, the main differences in the currency when levelling skills is the colour. The currencies are coloured very poorly which makes it incredibly difficult to tell them apart, for example, the orange and red ones. The music and background audio felt unique for the first 30 minutes but you realise it is the same track over and over. The game becomes a "click open" simulator very quickly as that is the main way to get rarer colours. XP and money are practically useless within the game, and the end games is painfully easy, with you being able to finish the game without unlocking most of the skill tree. On top of which, the skill tree is difficult to navigate with pop-ups covering areas, and extended tooltips going off the screen. Finally, the resolution of the game is extremely awkward to handle at fullscreen and seemingly forces v-sync. The only way to combat this is going into windowed mode and resizing the window. The frames tank which is shocking with how little is going on in the game. [b]PROS[/b]: - Reasonable cost [b]CONS[/b]: - Boring gameplay - Poor optimisation and quality of life - Useless currency progression - One single music track - Profile features limited [i]It is an okay at best for that price.[/i]
[h1] A Fun, But Flawed, Incremental Clicker [/h1] [i] Gotta click away at these evil cyber attacks! Click click click click click... [/i] Cyber Shard Clicker is an incremental clicker. If you're familiar at all with the current trend of incremental games, you'll be well aware how this goes: Click on some things to earn currency, use the currency to upgrade, use your upgrades to earn more currency, and spend that to upgrade even further. Cyber Shard Clicker is a decent enough clicker, but it does have some flaws that I'll touch on below. Pros: Satisfying Incremental Gameplay: Barring some minor hiccups that I'll touch on down below, the game definitely has that incremental gameplay down to pat. The upgrades are satisfying, and include your genre staples such as damage increase, time increase, and extra help like turrets and extra "hackers" which are just other clickers that go around and click on enemies for you. When you're able to get that next level of an upgrade, it's satisfying to watch an enemy type that previously gave you trouble go down in moments. Decent Audio and Visual Design: While it won't win any awards for graphic design or soundtrack, it's more than serviceable for what it's trying to do. Cons: Bugs and Progression Hiccups: From certain currencies just outright bugged and not showing up, to other currencies being very grind-y, particularly the second tier currency for each difficulty, the game does occasionally get slowed down massively due to these issues. While the game is completely beatable in its current format, it does sometimes feel just a bit too grind-y when you're having to run a particularly difficulty half a dozen times and hope that a particular enemy spawns enough times to give you the currency you need for an upgrade. This doesn't quite make the game unplayable, but there were a few moments when I about quit out of frustration from not getting what I needed. I overall recommend Cyber Shard Clicker. With any luck there will be some incoming patches that fix things up a bit, but just beware that for now it may be a bit more of a grind than might be optimal for some players.
Es macht irgendwie schon Spaß. Aber ich bekomme nicht die Farben, die ich brauche Nach knapp 70 Minuten habe ich immer nur rot ganz selten gesehen Grün häufig und die anderen Farben naja, so gut wie noch gar nicht außer Blau. Ich weiß nicht, ob das so sein soll Bei der Fortschritt ist ja extrem langsam. Wenn ich nicht tief haben. Bekomme die ich brauche So wie das Spiel jetzt ist, kann ich es leider nicht empfehlen, weil die Farben zu selten kommen. Tut mir leid.
