How to Play Crystal Mines
Quick start
Choose a profile, open Levels and select Level 1: Down in the Dirt with up/down and A. Watch the crystal quota and timer on the lower screen. Clear a safe route, collect enough crystals, then reach the Exit Circle before time runs out.
Controls
The Control Pad moves the robot in eight directions. A fires the energy-ball cannon; hold it for continuous fire. B plants a timed explosive when you have one, so move away before it detonates. SELECT activates the View Map power-up when collected; B closes that view. START pauses. In menus A confirms and B cancels.
Crystal Mines — About this game
Explore mines with a remote-controlled robot, collect the required crystal quota and enter the Exit Circle before the timer expires. The exit appears only once the quota is met. Digging changes the layout, while unsupported rocks and other objects can create hazards or open routes. Your energy-ball cannon clears obstacles, and collected explosives help remove tougher rocks or creatures. Different crystal colours contribute different amounts toward the quota, so planning a route matters as much as shooting. Progress unlocks more levels; only Level 1: Down in the Dirt is available at the beginning.
