A brick-breaking action game with dangerous creatures and color-coded power-ups.
The briefing
Crystal Hammer is an action game for the Amiga, released in 1987 by reLINE Software and published by Reline Software. Its gameplay centers on reflecting a ball against a wall of bricks.
Breaking through the wall can release worm-like creatures that threaten the bat. Destroyed bricks may also produce spinning colored power-ups, including a sticky bat, a wider bat, a slower ball, multiple balls, and a shooting bat. A grey brick should be avoided, as collecting it destroys the player.
