It now has a new (smaller) map, baby monsters (more lethal than the big ones), some additional collectables, and the crystals are more sparkly!
There are now 10 crystals to collect as opposed to 8 in the original version of the game.
The first person to complete this new version of Crystal Hunter and send me a valid password wins £100. A password is displayed shortly after completing the game. Note it down carefully!
This is a First Past The Post competition, it doesn't have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. I was going to do that originally but have since changed my mind because I have too much on my plate, and other reasons.
The game, which is not very challenging, can be completed in 7 or 8 minutes, but of course you need to know what you're doing!

If that link stops working, then try the following (indirect) link instead:

Extract the zip folder to a suitable place before running the game. Don't try to run the game directly from the zip folder, it won't work.
Note that you may receive security or even virus warnings upon downloading or running the program. This is a clean download that has been put through Windows Defender, F-Secure and the excellent online malware scanning service VirusTotal (which did actually find 3 false positives from obscure virus scanners no-one has ever heard of, but they are indeed false positives).
Have fun!
