Crystal Lab
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your next laboratory starts with a tap. Crystal Lab is an idle clicker game where you mine crystals, upgrade equipment, and build a growing jewelry collection. Start small, unlock automatic production, and work your way through five laboratories, each with its own style and tools. Tap to collect raw crystals and decide how to spend them: improve your mining equipment or polish them to buy jewelry. Complete matching sets to earn permanent production bonuses. There is always a new goal to work toward: • Upgrade equipment to increase your earnings per tap and automatic production. • Complete daily missions, open chests, and gather fragments to discover jewelry. • Take on the daily Mining Rush: 30 seconds to keep up your tapping pace and multiply your reward. • Collect sapphire, emerald, amethyst, citrine, and ruby jewelry. • Earn offline progress based on your automatic production. Play at your own pace, plan your upgrades, and turn a small crystal lab into a thriving mining operation.
