SMALL UPDATE - 09/01/2008


Prices of items are getting re-looked at and the gold system is 100% fixed to store any number on the counter.

Spells will now be "chosen" and than you will see the spell icon on a new part of the UI I added right above ITEM/SPELL/EXIT.   The chosen spell can be cast with the Z key.

Fixed several bugs that were causing the fairy to phase out.

NPC's in the first town will now give information and tips for playing the game.   

Added a spell graphic after you fall off and a game pause to monsters so you can tell where you are on the map.  This will give players some breathing room after losing life.

Magical Orbs and Mana Potions are working and a little icon + spell graphic is shown to tell you that you have it on you.

Added spell graphics for most items so you know it's affecting you.

Haha, thanks man..  I've been putting a lot of work into this game.


New video up with annotations and the blast and freeze spell.

[Meiscool-2]

Blast doesn't seem to be practical in that movie. In most occurances, a person would use blast when they actually need enemies knocked back, a time when they are about to be hit off or something. The way you've got it is there is a 1-3 second pause showing the animation before the actual blast takes effect. I would consider either making the animation shorter, or stopping the movement of everything on the screen (including hero) while the animation goes, then allowing the hero to move while the knockback occurs.

Downloading now. I'll tell you what I think when I find time to play it. But I'm kind of excited.

Much better game trailer is up now.   It's slightly off on the sound about 1 second but much better than the nightmare it used to be.

The sounds are off because I recorded a flektor video and threw it on youtube.


Enjoy everybody, and i'm still waiting on some feedback hehe.

This is the up-coming development of the Crystal Crazy game.

This features the town of Eagleview and it's quest which is a mine taken over by giant rats and rock monsters.

This features the awesome spell "SHIELD" which you can see greatly protects you.
