"Crystal Chip Collector: Hidden Gem" is a fast-paced platforming puzzle game with a neo-retro style. Collect all the microchips to complete each level and watch out for the critters! Initially, it may seem simple, but some of the later levels can get quite tricky.

Richard, a gamer boy fond of games, receives terrible news: his favorite game has undergone an overhaul patch, causing his PC to "lag". However, Richard is a very clever kid and knows that every problem has a solution somewhere on internet. He sought help from an artificial intelligence and managed to summon two ancient gods to optimize his PC: an ancient deity whom Richard mistakes for someone named "Install Wizard" and a sort of orange cat with a very large head. Can these unusual beings improve the performance of his PC so that he can continue playing without lag? --- Supports Joypad and keyboard. Keyboard controls: Cursor key: direction E: jump / action D: projectile / cancel Space: Menu 1: restart stage during Puzzle mode B: change bezel F: Switch between fullscreen / windowed Esc: Exit Touching a harmful chip or a critter won't decrease life counter if ammo can be deducted instead (100 bullets). Features: - 60 levels spread across 6 worlds. - Story mode: Will Richard get a more powerful PC? Will the spirits shun him? - Puzzle mode: Collect all the chips while using a set amount of energy! - Invincible mode: Beat each world in the shortest time possible.
