Crystalline Mod for Half-Life 2 Crystalline released news

Crystalline is released to the world! We are pleased to give everyone an opportinity to play our small HL2 mod and try what we have been using the last month creating.

Please take note that Crystalline is to be considered a prototype and that a lot of planned features didn't make it into the released game. With only one month and no experienced programmers we had to prioritize a lot. Still we think it has been wonderful to create the game and we hope you will enjoy trying it out.

Game hints:
Due to time constraints the game is largely unballanced and there is no in-game hints to what you must do. But do try the following: collect small crystals to boost your energy. Use this energy to kill Chaos beings and gain points. Collect the large super crystals and bring them to the even larger crystal structures. With three super crystals in the correct color they will disappear and you will gain loads of points. All the large crystal structures are located quite close to the green cloud where you spawn. The game ends when you have lost your last life.

We didn't have time to do all the feedback system (especially a lot of fancy particle systems) and there is no hi-score list. But still do enjoy the casual experience that Crystalline still is.
