Full Game Details
From the Devs
Real strategy — Fast. Fun. Fresh.
Crystal Wars is a turn-based territory strategy played on crystal maps that vary in shape and challenge. Every match deals a fresh Voronoi board — the geometry IS the strategy, and no two battles ever play out the same. One click can flip everything: a flood-fill swallows a whole color cluster, an encirclement seals off all free crystals in an instant and claims them whole, a bomb chain redraws the map. Made a bad move? See it, learn it, deal a new map, a new difficulty, a new color — change everything and go again.
Core Mechanics
Flood Fill — one click captures every connected cell of the same color, allowing you to move forward faster
Encirclement — wall off free territory and claim it all instantly
Supply Lines — cut your opponent off from their base; isolated cells become easy prey and can be stolen from the enemy
Bomb Chains — surround a bomb cell to set off chain reactions that reshape the battlefield
Energy Crystals — capture one, get an extra turn and get ahead of the enemy
Game Modes
Tutorial — 6 interactive steps; you're playing in under a minute and learning everything you need to know

Campaign — 24 hand-crafted levels across 5 chapters, from your first capture to genuinely tricky maps that take real time to crack

Auto-battle — sit back and watch two opponents carve up the map on their own — oddly relaxing ASMR
Two Players — play with a friend on the same device
Live Multiplayer — quick online matches, Blitz or Standard, also with your own map settings
Map Styles
6 crystal rendering presets — from clean Minimal to refractive Opal — and 48 color palettes across 4-, 5- and 6-color tiers. Electric borders, Time Warp slow-motion, screen shake and sparkle VFX make every capture land. Pick any settings before you play.
