Crystal Breaker is a shoot ’em up video game developed and published by TERARIN GAMES.

About

This game is a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up that specializes in score attacks. Get the highest score possible by controlling your aircraft and destroying enemies in each stage. Your aircraft will not take damage even if it touches the enemy. Therefore, it is possible to stack your aircraft on top of the enemy and attack. However, enemies will shoot bullets at you. If you touch an enemy bullet, you will receive damage.

Control

• Move your ship using the left stick or direction buttons.
• Fire a shot with the shot button (auto rapid fire).
• Use the boost button to move at high speed for a certain period of time. Boost is effective when avoiding enemy bullets or approaching enemies to attack. The next boost cannot be made until the boost gauge is restored.

Power Up

Getting P items will power up your shots and increase the number of directions you can shoot them in (maximum level 3, 5 direction shots). When your ship receives damage, it will power down by one level. Also, your score will decrease (minus 10,000 points).

Rank System

As time passes, the rank will increase and the enemy’s attacks will become stronger (maximum rank 5). When your ship receives damage, it will go down by one rank. Also, the time count for rank up will be reset.

Chain

A chain occurs when you destroy enemies or ground panels in a row. If 50 consecutive chains occur, you will receive a chain bonus (50,000 points).

Crystal

• Crystals will appear when you shoot close range shots to enemy.
• Crystals will appear when you destroy certain enemies (medium-sized enemies, bosses).
• If you shoot the red-purple panel, a large amount of crystals will appear.
• If you get 100 crystals, you will get a crystal bonus (100,000 points).
• If your ship takes damage, you will lose crystals.

Bonuses

• Bonus – If you destroy the yellow panel, you will receive a bonus (10,000 points).
• Special Bonus – If you destroy certain enemies at the same time, you will receive a special bonus (50,000 points).

Boss Time

Boss battles have a time limit. If you fail to destroy the boss within the time limit, you will not get the boss destruction score. The more time you have left when the boss is destroyed, the more boss time bonus you will get.
