Crazy Crystals is a puzzle game on FunOrb released on 7 May 2008, and it marks the fifth major update since the release of FunOrb. Players must collect all the crystals on the level to progress to the next, which proves harder than it sounds, due to the various tiles in the game.

Overall, including the multiplayer puzzles, the tutorial and the singleplayer levels, there are 117 levels.

Tiles

Name	Image	Description	Notes
Crystal		This is a crystal. Crystals are good. Collect all the crystals to complete the level!	Normal crystals get 10 points each, the crystal orbs get 100 points each.
Rock		This is a rock. You can push rocks. Rocks fall if they are unsupported. They also roll off curved edges and round objects. Occasionally you may need to push a rock while it is falling. Move out of the way to let it fall, and then push it. You must be quick!	If you are supporting a rock, never walk down. It will fall on you.
Bomb		This is a bomb. Bombs blow up when you drop them, they get crushed, or another bomb explodes nearby. Use them to clear the way. Stand back!	Each bomb has a flame length, which can be discovered only by exploding it.
Log		This is a log. You can break it by dropping a rock on it.	Bombs can also break logs.
Earth		This is earth. Dig your way through it to get to the crystals.	Earth acts like wall before you dig through it, so consider carefully in higher levels.
Teleport		This is a teleport. Step on this square and you will be whisked away to another part of the level, provided there is room at the destination. Teleports do not just transport people. They are happy with anything that ends up sitting on them. Some teleports can only be used once, others a few times, before they die.	Trial and error is needed to deduce the number of uses.
Key		This is a key. When you collect a key, all the safes of the same colour will open. The safes usually contain crystals, so you'll probably need to open them to complete the level.	Safes sometimes contain bombs, balls, rocks or other keys.
Safe		This is a safe. Look for a key. Safes open when you find a matching key. The safes usually contain crystals, so you'll probably need to open them to complete the level.	Safes sometimes contain bombs, balls, rocks, other keys, or holes. Red safes usually contain bombs.
Spider		This is a spider. Spiders weave spider webs. If the spider is standing on the web, the web will spread. If you stand on the web the spider will hear you. Spiders are fast and very dangerous, your only chance is to unite it with a rock!	Spiders can also be killed by falling rocks, bombs, bomb blasts and lasers.
Spider Web		There is a spider web here. Are there any spiders nearby?	Spiders can only move on these webs, and only when you step on them.
Bouncy Ball		This is a bouncy ball. Bouncy balls bounce back and forth. Do not stand in the way! You can run up against a bouncy ball safely, as long as it does not run into you.	These can be redirected with mirrors.
Sticky Ball		This is a sticky ball. Sticky balls stick to walls and other obstacles, and roll around the level. Do not stand in the way! You can run up against a sticky ball safely, as long as it does not run into you. Sticky balls get disoriented if what they are stuck to moves or disappears. You can rescue a disoriented sticky ball by putting something in its path.	When a sticky ball is disoriented, it tends to move around in circles of 2x2 squares.
Hole		This is a hole. Watch out! You can fall into holes - unless they have been filled.	Any ball will fill this hole so you are able to walk over it, however, boulders are too big to fit inside.
Mirror		This is a mirror. Mirrors reflect lasers and deflect bouncy balls.	If a bouncy ball hits a mirror the mirror will change orientation.
Laser Hub		This is a laser hub. It beams lasers in all directions. Be careful!
Laser Beam		This is a laser beam. Do you wish to pass? You may be able to block it with something. Also destroys bombs and spiders	Lasers travel across the level as fast as light. If you move something obstructing the laser out of the way you will not have time to avoid it.
Blue Player		This is one of you, and the only you in one player mode. You can make him move using the keys indicated above, which are the arrow keys in single player mode.	All Modes (Player 1)
Green Player			2-player or 3-player (Player 2)
Pink Player			3-player only (Player 3)

Trivia

• The name for level 12, Mining Disturbance, is a pun on Miner Disturbance.
• The map of level 69, "It's Hostile!" resembles the Hostile Spawn character attacking a spawn. Also the map of level 10, "Hammerhead", resembles Hammerhead starship from Hostile Spawn. Crazy Crystals was the game released before Hostile Spawn.
• The regular crystals are icosahedrons, whereas the rounder ones are bilunabirotundas. The achievements, however, display crystals as skewed rhombicuboctahedrons.
• To date, this is the only game with no Instructions page on the main menu, instead using a tutorial to explain the basics of the game. However, there are games with both tutorials and instructions.
• The player's icon at top-right corner when killed,only its hair/head is seen above the grave.It could be possibly buried upright and simply dont fit on the soil.
