Works well here!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would have liked to have seen more game pressure, didnt feel like there was much pressure to mess up, i could just keep going at my own pace.

Don\u2019t let the crystals get too close to you either, any touch - and you are done!\r\nHere is an example: if you see \u201cRED\u201d on a green crystal with blue letters - you need to shoot with red gun.\r\n\r\nThere is a story behind this game!\r\nThe biggest and most expensive crystals in the world are grown here, on the factory from where they go to an unbreakable vault. Only the most ingenious thief can break in - and that\u2019s you. But getting inside was the easiest part of your plan. So far, nobody was able to carry out the crystals without being noticed! Well, you were smart and got yourself a teleportation gun. It\u2019s ray, when matching the crystal color, could send it far away before, but after the last burglary attempt the security has been significantly enhanced - the vault now has a protection field, which alters the visible crystal color. But nothing is impossible! You managed to get an augmented reality glasses, which are able to identify the real crystal color. This is one of the first prototypes, still under development. They are not able to show you the correct color. Instead, the color is indicated with text.\r\n\r\nHave fun!\r\n","title":"The Crystal Thief"}
