Glide through an endless corridor of glass and throw steel balls to smash every pane, pillar and pendulum before it reaches you. Your balls are your lives, crystals refill them, and the rooms keep changing.

About Shatter Tunnel

Shatter Tunnel is a first-person arcade game about breaking glass beautifully. You drift forward at a steady pace through a corridor that passes through six rooms, from the pale Glass Hall and the Prism Garden to the Neon Vault, the Amber Atrium, the Frost Cathedral and the Ruby Chamber, each with its own light and colour. Glass panes, pillars, pyramids, swinging pendulums and rotating fans stand in your way, and every one of them shatters into a spray of spinning shards when a ball hits it.

The twist is the ammunition. You start with twenty-five balls and each throw spends one. Any glass that reaches you costs ten. Crystals floating in the corridor give three back, and breaking three crystals in a row without a miss upgrades you to a double and then a triple throw that makes clearing a wall of glass far easier, until a hit resets it. Checkpoints every hundred metres let you resume from the last one once per run. Distance and glass broken make up your score, and your best is saved.

The speed climbs slowly, the obstacles move more and bunch up tighter, and the game becomes a rhythm of aim, throw, collect, repeat. It is calm and tense at the same time, works with a single tap on a phone, and looks the way a glass-smashing fantasy should.

How to play Shatter Tunnel

You move forward automatically. Click or tap where you want to throw a ball; Space throws straight ahead. Break every piece of glass in your path before it reaches you, because a collision costs ten balls and your run ends when you have none left. Collect crystals for three extra balls each, and break three crystals in a row to unlock double and triple throws. Reaching a hundred-metre marker sets a checkpoint you can continue from once.

Controls

Desktop: mouse to aim and click to throw, Space to throw straight ahead, P to pause, M to mute. Touch: tap anywhere to throw toward that point.

Tips & tricks

  • Aim at crystals before glass: a triple throw clears a pane in one go and pays for itself.
  • Pendulums and fans telegraph their swing. Throw where they will be, not where they are.
  • Do not spray. Each throw costs a ball, and an empty hand at a pillar is how most runs end.
  • Pillars take two hits. Pair your throws, then move on to the next target.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when I run out of balls in Shatter Tunnel?

The run ends. Each throw costs one ball and a collision with glass costs ten, while crystals give three back, so manage your throws and chase crystals to keep the count up.

How do I get the multi-throw?

Break three crystals in a row without missing a throw. That unlocks a double throw, and three more in a row make it a triple. Taking a hit resets you to a single ball.

Does Shatter Tunnel save progress?

Your best distance and score and your mute setting are saved in your browser. Checkpoints only last for the current run.

Does Shatter Tunnel save my progress?

Yes — Shatter Tunnel keeps your best score and settings in this browser's local storage, so they are still there when you come back on the same device. Nothing is uploaded and no account is involved — clearing your browser data is what resets it.
