Crystal Call

Unexpectedly Fun and Addictive. I didn’t expect to spend almost two hours on a simple first person platformer. The game has 17 levels, if you’re skilled enough you can finish them in about an hour and even earn all the achievements. I enjoy this type of game so I decided to push myself into the world’s top 100. It’s not easy especially after 4 years of release, but still doable on some levels, and it felt incredibly satisfying. Like most games in this genre, Crystal Call features wall running, double jumps, sliding and dashing. I call it simple because there aren’t any complicated abilities like a hook for rotating around the map. However, despite the basic mechanics, the game adds shooting mechanics, where you can hit an enemy or trigger extra platforms. One feature I never saw in other games is the ability to pause the game. I didn’t use this much, but I assume the dev included it to make the game accessible to wilder players. Each level takes around 30 seconds to a minute to complete. For me the most difficult level actually being the first level, where it teaches basic movements and it takes me ages to pass a big gap. Glad I never saw this design again on another level. My only complaint is that I don’t really understand how the final scores are calculated, and the leaderboards rank based on score rather than time. Besides the global leaderboard, you can challenge yourself to collect all the green orbs in tricky spots within each level. It's a nice little game, I recommend it to all players.
