Crystal Caves is a side-scrolling platformer where you navigate underground levels collecting treasures while dodging hazards. You play as Mylo Steamwitz, working through cave systems filled with puzzles that gate your progress. The game uses an EGA color palette and focuses on puzzle-solving alongside platforming—you'll need to figure out how to reach items and exits, not just jump well. Levels contain traps, enemies, and collectibles scattered across multi-screen areas. Three episodes ship together: Trouble with Twibbles, Slugging it Out, and Mylo Verses the Supernova. Each presents distinct cave environments with their own puzzle sets. It's arcade-style action mixed with environmental problem-solving, appealing to players who want platforming that makes them think between jumps.
