In the last episode, I finished the Dark element. Crystals influenced by Dark power generate a black blade flash when shattered.

This time, I made a brand new crystal type and designed a set of skills that can synergize with Dark crystals.

First, the new crystal – Rainbow Crystal. Think of it as a special large crystal. It has high health and also contains a large amount of aether.

As you keep upgrading, you will unlock a special node that allows Rainbow Crystal to release a Dark shockwave when shattered, causing all nearby ordinary crystals to be corrupted by Dark energy.

And just like that, a large number of dense Dark crystals appear in an instant. Then, all you need to do is use your absorption ring to break any one of them. The released Dark blade will instantly shatter adjacent Dark crystals. Boom! The chain explosion begins – one‑click screen clear, with an explosion of satisfaction!

This won’t be the final version—there are still plenty of effects to add, but I’ll stop here for now.

About this Game

A simple incremental game where you nurture crystal elementals by destroying floating crystals and harvesting aether. Upgrade the skill tree, unlock new abilities to gather resources faster, and build your ultimate crystal companions.
