Shard Cycle is incremental game combining prestige mechanic with it's permanent upgrades with beating the layers by destroying crystals on the grid, gaining currency and upgrading your gameplay. 

Beat Layers

The goal is to beat as much layers as you can (an learn a lot of achievements). Each layer has more crystal with more health and the requirements to beat that layer increases.

Upgrade Drill

By destroying more crystals you will gain more currency to upgrade the drill (cursors) which will help you destroy even more crystals. Simple, right.

Trade for Attachments

By destroying crystals you earn tailings. Gather enough tailings and you can earn one Spall currency. Spalls are used at Trader to get some attachments which will help you improve your gameplay.

Unlock abilities

After each prestige you can unlock one ability which will help you destroy more crystals.
