Krystals DS is the revision of NightFox's Colors, the first game written by NightFox for the Nintendo DS in 2008. The game has been rewritten from scratch, with new music and backgrounds, using NightFox's Lib to overcome several bugs and to improve compatibility with more recent flashcards.

It was participated in the NEO Retro Coding Compo 2013 (Game, 3rd place).

User guide

The main objective of the game is to create groups of 3 or more gems of the same color in any direction. A greater number of stones removed in the same movement, more score.

Your mission is to get as many points as possible before reaching the last level of the game (25). After the game, the score will receive bonuses for the level achieved, the maximum combo made and if you've reached the last level of the game.

Use the special gems to make better combos. The diamond-shaped gems, change the color of the gems touched by his. If a diamond-shaped gem touches the ground, all the gems change color randomly.

The white gems are also special. If a white gem touches itself to any other gem, all gems of that color will be eliminated. If a white gem touches the ground, the elimination of all the gems from the board.

A new feature has also been added in this remake version where there will never be a token with two gems of the same color, making it more difficult to carry out combos.
