*** The new version is featured in What's Hot for United Kingdom and more 30 places over the world! Stunning strategic game that challenges you to dominate over the imaginary universe that is presented by the hexagon field. Master your skills from beginner to professional and further to expert, choosing different tactics for each level. The more you play the more strategies you learn, the more interesting the gameplay is. You can move your crystal to cell near it, and new crystal will be born. Or you can make a jump over one cell leaving empty place. When you place your crystal next to opponent’s it will transform them into your own and you can use them to make your next moves. You win if by the end of the game you have more crystals than your opponent. You can play against the computer or against your mate. Graphics are elaborated, featuring different effects. And sound will intensify your impression of this breathtaking game. You could check my twitter for new apps: https://twitter.com/avolovik Watch gameplay on YouTube!
