About the Game

Shoot. Mutate. Evolve. Repeat.

Welcome to Crystal Quest: Electron - a rogue-lite of reckless but technically legal science. You command generations of Lovelies - adorably unhinged lab-born pilots - who collect Electron Crystals, blast Nasties and evolve stronger descendants. Recover Uncle Bernard's scattered brain and save the world from PRIME FLU... somehow. It's evolution with lasers, and the experiment never ends.

Grow ‘em. Splice ‘em. Blast ‘em.

Collect Electron Crystals, gather Questium and splice DNA from previous generations to evolve faster, funnier, freakier Lovelies. Every new generation grows stronger, inherits your discoveries, and opens up new combinations of abilities and playstyles.

A Shooter That Never Stops Flowing

It starts simple, then quietly builds into glorious chaos. Dodge danger, collect all of the Electron Crystals, adapt to dozens of Nastie behaviours and discover weapon combinations that turn impossible situations into spectacular victories.

Every Run Is Different

Every run reshuffles enemy encounters, Challenge Rooms, rewards, mutations and upgrade choices. Experiment with new builds, adapt on the fly and discover ridiculous combinations that make every expedition feel fresh.

Weapons. Lots of Them.

Experiment with guns, ammo types, special powers and DNA mutations. Discover outrageous combinations as your weapons, abilities and mutations stack together to create wildly different builds every run.

Challenge Rooms & Deep Delving

The deeper the dive, the stranger it gets. Master unique Challenge Rooms packed with hazards, rewards and unexpected surprises before venturing even deeper into the caves.

Save Uncle Bernard!!

Somewhere beneath the caves lies the key to curing the Prime Flu. Recover every piece of Uncle Bernard's scattered brain, defeat monstrous cave bosses and discover whether humanity can survive the strangest scientific experiment ever conducted.
