BACK TO THE GAMES


Crystal Collapse Odyssey is a new and exciting variation of Crystal Collapse by Arkadium.


The game contains a variety of fun challenges to play through, and reasons to always keep coming back for more.



How to play


Match clusters of crystals, create exciting combos and reach new heights of fun in this captivating collapse-style game. You can clear crystals by clicking on clusters of 3 or more of a single color. Your objective is to clear the tiles shown on the left.


General rules. Click or tap crystal clusters to clear them.



Goal. To advance to the next level you need to complete the level goal - clear all obstacles. You can find the level goal in the widget on the left. The more levels you complete, the more difficult goals you get.


EXAMPLE: On the screenshot below the goal is to clear 12 log tiles



NOTE: Make a match near obstacles to clear them. The number on obstacles indicates how many matches you need to make to clear them


After each level, you'll see a completion screen and your unused turns will be turned into a higher score. The larger the number of stars, the better the performance.




If you run out of moves, you'll be able to pay coins to keep playing. If you can't, you'll lose a life. You have 5 lives per day to keep playing, or you can earn more lives and coins through rewards.

Special Tiles


Sometimes, you may see special tiles appear in the game. These will help you progress through the levels.



North Star.  Match 5 or 6 crystals to create a North Star power that blasts away crystals in a horizontal or vertical direction.




Bear Paw. Match 7 or 8 crystals to create a Bear Paw power that clears a 3x3 group of crystals on your board.




Phoenix. Match 9 or more crystals to create a Phoenix tile that clears any crystals of the same color.



Power combos. Match adjacent special tiles to activate a power combo. These are extremely powerful. The more you match, the more crystals you'll clear. Try matching different types to see the results.


 

You can also store these power-ups in your inventory below by purchasing them at the store or winning them on rewards, and use them on any block when you prefer.



Obstacles

These obstacles must be cleared in the game, as part of different objectives.

Wood. Wood can be cleared by collapsing crystals next to it. Cracked wood will disappear after one match. Uncracked wood, after two matches.



Hedges. Hedges can be cleared by collapsing any crystal next to it. They can also form groups, which need to be cleared several times.


Stones. Stones can only be cleared by powers.



Bubbles. Make a match with a crystal inside the bubble and watch it disappear. 



Candle. Make a match next to a candle to collect flames. Collecting flames can be part of the objective. Reuse candles as many times as you like, as they will not clear from the board.



At times, blocks may be encased in ice, not allowing you to match them. You can free them by matching next to the ice.



Hidden Crystals. These can be collected by making a match next to the ice.



Hazelnuts. These can be collected by making a match next to them.



Potion Bottles. Break each of them by making a match of the same color next to them.


NOTE: There are other, surprise obstacles that await in further levels. We won't spoil the surprise, be sure to have your tutorial on to learn about them!
