The core gameplay loop
StepSHARD is built around projectile physics, so your throws travel in an arc rather than a straight line. Each elimination pays out a cash bounty, and you use that cash to purchase new knives from the available collection.
- Learn the arc of the thrown knife to hit targets.
- Earn cash bounties for every successful elimination.
- Purchase and equip unique custom knives with the cash you earn.
