Shatterbrain - Physics Puzzles

What Shatterbrain is and who it suits

Shatterbrain is a puzzle game built around physics. Each level asks you to break one or more shapes, and gravity works against you as much as for you. Orbital Nine Games makes it, and the same studio also makes Brain It On!.

The listing points at people who like brain games and enjoy following the rules of physics. Its puzzles are the main draw, so it fits players who want to think through a setup before acting.

Drawing lines and shapes to solve puzzles

The main action is drawing. You place a dot, draw a line, or sketch whatever shape the puzzle requires. Your drawn objects then interact with the physics of the level, and the target shapes shatter when the puzzle is solved.

Because nothing is fixed in advance, the same puzzle can be approached in different ways. The developer describes the controls as easy to pick up, with the challenge coming from working out what to draw.

Puzzle library and multiple solutions

The listing names dozens of puzzles, and says more are added on an ongoing basis. Each puzzle can be solved in several ways.

That matters if you want to go past finishing a level. The developer asks players to find the best solution, so a single puzzle can be revisited with a different approach.

Leaderboards for speed and solution quality

Shatterbrain has leaderboards that rank players by fastest completion time or by best solution. The two measures reward different things: one favours quick thinking and execution, the other favours a cleaner or more efficient answer to the same puzzle.
