Maybe you could change randomly between some variations.\nIt seems like it depends a lot on luck, since sometimes you can't really react fast enough so you can only hope that the next crystal appears closely to where you are heading.\nIn one run I got really lucky and got to a score of 82 (which I am quite proud of :D)\nOverall great game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":809905,"author_name":"Orerez","author_uid":"orerez","epoch":1649335713,"text":"cool concept, would like a bit more verity.\nall in all, its a very fun game","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":809907,"author_name":"Useless Fish","author_uid":"useless-fish","epoch":1649335728,"text":"I think this game is a very simple, but very FUN game!
