About Ruby and The Lost Crystals

  • Ruby, a young girl who can physically interact with the environment: push blocks, turn capstan, activate pressure plate and jump.
  • Sapphire, a magical stone fairy who shoots projectiles to illuminate crystals, activate platforms, and swap the positions of objects.
Switch between the two to solve puzzles combining logic, spatial reasoning, timing, and magical interactions.

Each area introduces new mechanics, combined in creative ways as the game progresses:
  • Illuminate lost crystals
  • Redirect and combine coloured lasers.
  • Teleport objects to create paths and platforms
  • Move blocks and platforms to reach new areas
  • Interact with pressure plates, rotatable structures, or long-range triggers
The puzzles are handcrafted to challenge your thinking without ever overwhelming, encouraging experimentation and observation.This peaceful third-person puzzle adventure invites players to explore two handcrafted zones filled with ancient ruins, magical devices, and hidden secrets. Through a blend of light dialogue, stylised visuals, and an evolving original soundtrack, the game offers a calm and focused solo experience built around thoughtful interactions and the cooperation between two unique characters.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's charming atmosphere and cute graphics, with puzzle gameplay that ranges from simple to moderately challenging, though most find it enjoyably straightforward. Common criticisms include the lack of clarity about the game's incomplete status, absence of save functionality requiring completion in one sitting, and limited post-game content with no achievements or collectibles to pursue. Several reviewers note the experience feels like a brief demo or school project rather than a full release, and some mention technical features like motion blur could be improved with m

It was a charming demo for what it was. However, it was unclear the developer's intention. School project? Demo for a game they actually hope to make? PR project for company that got axed? The puzzles were pretty simple over all but at one point I did manage to do something they hadn't imagined. This left the floating puzzle unrecoverable and had to start the entire thing over. I don't have any real complaints abut the game but wish it had been a bit more clear about just how incomplete the project was.

Gerat fun game. Finished the game. Full gmae takes approximately 1.5 hours. If you haven't played Ruby and The Lost Crystals give it a go. Just be aware there is no save or auto save so you have to finish it in one sitting or through the day. It took me 1.5 hours. If you did it rigjt you should smash the LAST BIG CRYSTAL at the end and they tell you theres 3 more but then up pops an on screen message saying you have restoredt he crystals thanks for playing. the game does continue on after that but there's nothing to do after that unless you want to explore, but therei's nothing to colelct and no achievements so not worth continue playing after end game. Nice graphics though. Acceptable run speed,. Challenging laser puzzles. Laser puzzles go from easy to medium difficulty with rotating levers and using special skills to change the colours and using mirrors (later on) to rebound shots. 8/10 final rating.

It has the potential. I miss the graphic settings tho, I'm not a big fan of the motion blur. The puzzles are easy to solve, but the atmosphere is a great plus. I hope one day it will be a long journey.
