Fun game! My son and I especially liked the music. Wish there had been some audio effects as well. The display and characters were a bit small, which added to the challenge, I suspect, but I really wanted to see more details on the character and the other objects, so a bit larger would have been great. Also, my right hand nearly fell off playing with arrow keys. Overall, it's a great, simple idea that's implemented well. I'd take a larger brighter presentation and better controls, and probably put some version of this on my phone for random play. Thanks and have a great LD!

thanx for the crit... I had thought about the FX in game but I thought i'd just leave the tune running... I hope you're right hand is okay!!!

Fun game! I liked how some crystals were placed towards the edge of the map, forced me to think and prioritise which crystals I would collect first. Music was simplistic but fit the mood of the game well, would say the same about the art. Good work!

Pretty fun little game. I like the music. i only wish, i could play in fullscreen

Fun little game. Is there a minimum number of crystals needed to win a level or is it just about the high score?

Also maybe a short list of the crystals and the points they give would be nice, as it can be a bit hectic to try and figure that out while collecting them.

Otherwise, well done.

I had considered different effects from different crystals... speed up, slow down, replace land, double score etc but... as usual, time constraints made it impossible... maybe an improvement to bear in mind...

And the grafix... they're the free things i got from AGK... i can no more draw than i can fly... and the music is kinda retro too...
