Skip it if you…

Our take on Crystal Caves
Its focus on compact cave episodes gives up the breadth of a larger adventure. The three-part structure and retro presentation keep the experience centered on hazards, puzzles, and treasure collection rather than extended world exploration.
What is Crystal Caves?
Play as Mylo Steamwitz on a treasure hunt through an underground world in the Altairian star system.
The game contains three episodes, each with its own story turn and visual presentation. Cave chambers include alien machinery, traps, hostile creatures, robots, and valuable crystals. Hazards include dark sections, falling hammers, bats that drop eggs, roaming slither eyes, and spiders that fire webs. Mylo carries a laser pistol, whose recoil can push him into danger in low-gravity levels where he can also move along ceilings. Crystal Caves is presented as a colorful EGA action game with puzzles and arcade-style play. The listing also notes partial support for Xbox 360 controllers.
