Fantastic Puzzle Game

Ingenious concepts and design, and sounds that fit the schemes perfectly. This is a true gem and one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.

The new iOS4 standard

First off, the game is great. Puzzles get much more complicated than they look.I particularly want to point out the excellent design, as an iOS program. When you open the app, it goes directly back to where you exited... No publisher intro screens, no main menu, no player select/login screen. EXACTLY as you left it. Plus, this game was accidentally deleted after upgrading the firmware (a fault of iTunes), so re-downloaded it on the iPhone's App Store expecting to have to start over from the beginning. I was incredibly surprised to find that when I booted it up for the first time, I was, again, exactly where I'd left off... Didn't even have to log back into Crystal. I've never seen that with any other app. This game needs to be the standard for how to program for iOS4.

Timeless

Can’t believe this game still works. Truly a gem and one of iPhone’s first great physics puzzlers. So glad it’s being preserved.

Originality

Still a great game. Works fine on iOS 12.1

pretty good

This is much better than I initially thought it was. I thought the game was over when I cleared the 3 sections, but no, all it does is unlock 3 different sections in the survival mode which is timed. Almost as if the game itself was nothing more than the training grounds for the survival mode. Have not beaten any of the survival sections which is really challenging. Great game, great ongoing challenge with the survival mode. Two thumbs up. A rather innovative creative setup that makes you think. Evolves beyond shooting down the monsters, end of game mentality. Definitely get most bang for your buck with this game. Should win an award of some kind. Highly recommended.Edit -- I went back and played the game in Hard mode and noted that it crashed on me multiple times in this mode. No crashes in Easy or Medium mode. But no biggie, just click on the game icon and it starts again in seconds and you just start from where you left off (the uncleared sections). No biggie, wouldn't take points away for this because start up is a mere few seconds away, but thought I'd mention it.

Support for newest OS years later!

Thank you debts! This is one of the original classic iOS games and was abandonware for a while. Now it's back!!

Great game so far, could use slight tweak to controls

While I'm only about 20 puzzles into the full set of 90, I'm having a great time so far. It's a little on the easy side (I have it cranked up to "hard" though I honestly am not sure what the difference is), but I imagine it's going to start getting more complicated very soon. The game itself is finely-crafted, pretty to look at, has some amusing dialog, and is a very clever gameplay idea. My only complaint so far is that I want a finer way of controlling my position. This could be done with a zoom-in option, a multi-touch that would allow me to fire a tonic without lifting my finger (picking up my finger often slightly moves the torch from where I'm holding it), or a small d-pad that would allow fine-tuning a position. Great game so far, highly recommended, and an absolute steal at the $0.99 launch price.

Still good! However...

I had fond memories playing this game years ago! Glad to see it still works now, although I’ve been frequently running into a bug that causes the entire screen to black out and occasionally crash.

Fantastic, addictive puzzle game!

The music is the first thing I think of when I think about this game--it's just that amazing! It's second only to the gameplay, which starts out easy enough and ramps up the difficulty perfectly. The graphic style is perfect for this game, blending 19th century dialogue with 21st century hand gestures. The controls are a breeze and the timed 'survival' levels once you've finished the main story game will help fulfill your addictive need for more.I can't recommend this game enough for anyone looking for a quality puzzle game on the iPhone/iPod Touch!
