Overview
Description

In Crystal Quest you control a small circular spaceship tasked with gathering glowing crystals while fending off relentless alien hordes emerging from side portals. The game challenges you to balance aggressive shooting with strategic use of limited smart bombs to survive increasingly chaotic waves. The retro‑styled shooter offers simple one‑button controls, unlimited ammo, and a classic high‑score chase, making it a timeless arcade experience across PC, iOS, Mac, and Xbox 360.

Take command of the Star Voyager from the bridge and race through rushing stars, hunting enemy ships with lasers and photon torpedoes. Navigate seven treacherous star portals to restore energy and save the Capital Starport. Manage your energy levels on the instrument panel and use the radar to locate threats and portals. Crash into a portal and you’re destroyed, so timing and precision are key in this fast‑paced sci‑fi action experience.
