Description: Fly your spaceship from wormhole to wormhole, navigating dangerous space station obstacle courses and collecting crystals from the wreckage of fallen enemies. The Crystal Nebula demands your highest dexterity and accuracy in order to shoot and dodge your way through its waves of opposition! Prepare to take room-scale to its fullest as you steer your ship from bound to bound, traversing the many traps of the derelict space stations and flourishing to avoid enemy fire. Demonstrate your resolve with online leaderboards and special prizes for top fighters!

Review: The Crystal Nebula is a basic-looking wave style space shooter that sees you in control of a ship (using your head) and you need to avoid all sorts of crazy things for as long as you can. Then once you die you start again, much like an endless running game. If you ask me this game does have a retro/nostalgic feel to it and that is not necessarily a bad thing.

While I did enjoy playing this game it got old fast and that left me wondering if it offered value for money, but for £1.59 ($2) you really can’t moan despite this game’s flaws. Maybe you could do a score challenge with friends or just keep challenging yourself, whatever you do just playing this for a little while will leave you feeling you have got your money’s worth from it.
