About game
Fans of fast-paced tap games will find their next obsession in Crystal Guardian. Your job is to stop waves of relentless robots from crushing the last source of light on your planet. You defend the core by tapping enemies to deal damage while collecting shards to fund your defenses. Turrets and automated lasers handle the heavy lifting, letting you focus on triggering ice freezes or explosive nova blasts when things get hairy. Every round allows you to pick new upgrade cards to stack your strength before the next encounter. Bosses appear at the end of each location to test your reflexes with their multi-phase combat patterns. You can expand your power through the permanent Crystal Memory system that ensures every defeat makes you stronger for the next run. Dive into this strategy challenge for free right in your browser without any annoying downloads.
How to play
1. Press Campaign and pick a location on the map — or play Endless.
2. Enemies run along the paths to the crystal in the center. Tap (click) them to deal damage.
3. Kills give score and shards 💎. Spend them in the shop (🛒): turrets shoot on their own, the auto-laser zaps enemies, upgrades boost your taps.
4. ❄ Ice freezes all enemies for a couple of seconds, 💥 Nova damages and knocks everyone back.
5. Don't let enemies reach the crystal: at 0 HP you lose.
6. After each wave pick one of three upgrade cards.
7. At the end of a location a boss awaits — each has its own ability and a second phase.
8. Clear locations, unlock new ones and upgrade Crystal Memory 💠 — it works in every run.
9. In endless mode mutations appear from wave 5 — more risk, more reward.
