Crystal Towers 2 XL

This game is a nice little hidden gem. Plays with a HUB à la Super Mario 64. All levels have multiple objectives, you then unlock more levels based on your progression and there's plenty of collectables. Loved it.

Futter für Old School Jump n Run Fans.Wer etwa Mr.Nutz,Cool Spot,Plok und Konsorten auf seine grauen Zellen losgelassen hat,darf hier einen Blick riskieren.(Demo Anzocken) Knackiger Schwierigkeitsgrad (inclusive Frusteffekt),kombiniert mit feuchten Händen und einer Musikalischen Untermalung welche sich nach kurzer Zeit ins Oberstübchen zu brennen vermag,sorgen für ein stimmiges Retro-Feeling.

Вполне интересная игрушка

A very solid game paying tribute to 16-bit Sega Genesis/Mega Drive platformers. What I like the most is how you can explore the main castle and complete various stage objectives in the same style as Super Mario 64 but in 2D. It is incredibly hard, though, so many quests will leave you raging. It's very worth it for the price.

Crystal Towers 2 XL is a retro 2D pixel platformer. An unusual twist in this game, very pro-consumer, is that the developers (deliberately or accidentally) did such a bad job developing it that it crashes on launch (with a helpful message to disable screen cap software, which I don't run), as an admission the developers have no idea what they're doing. The benefit of this crash means that gamers don't have to play their (presumably) awful game. Looking at the screenshots, since the game doesn't actually run, I can see it's retro pixel crap and should be avoided.

It's a side-scrolling collect-a-thon game, basically. It's all Sega-style jumping on baddies and springs, plus some stuff pulled out of Mario 64, like a castle hub world, and levels to be played over and over to get all the things and beat it in all the ways to get more of the things. Couple of bullpuke bosses, but it wouldn't be a nod to the 90's without them.

Needs more love. Its such a solid good game.
