THE DESCRIPTION:
In this game, you have to dig through dirt, pushing boulders in order to collect all the levels’ crystals. Crystal Cave introduces a number of creative elements: aside from the usual boulders, enemies, and crystals, there are breakable walls, encased crystals, acid, glass boxes, flip tiles and more.
THE GOOD:
Crystal Cave Classic delivers over 170 levels of play with a number of control options. The default controls, which I felt worked well, are a simple virtual d-pad. The game also allows you to use swipe controls or tapping on the top/bottom/left/right areas of the screens for movement. In practice, however, I had some issues with accidental movements using the swipe controls, so stuck with the d-pad.
THE BAD:
The game was simultaneously released for iPhone, Mac, and PC, so there are some elements of the game that don’t feel entirely natural on the iPhone.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Overall, the game offers a solid level-based puzzle game with over 170 levels that should keep you occupied for a long time.
