A studio under the Sydney sky

CrystalSpin Protocol is crafted by a compact team on Enmore Road, Newtown. We spent three years tuning reel physics against real astronomical data so every spin feels weighty, deliberate, and just a little cosmic.

Puzzles with a pulse

Puzzles with a pulse

Each of the 240 hand-designed levels layers resonance mechanics over classic match logic. Crystals hum at set frequencies; align three in phase and the core detonates a chain reaction that lights up the constellation above.

Play your way, offline or on

The full campaign runs offline on the train through Newtown or the flight to Perth. Sync your protocol log when you reconnect to carry streaks, star charts, and leaderboard rank across every device you own.

What is inside

Every system tuned for the long haul

01

Resonance reel engine

Our custom physics engine renders 12 crystal frequencies at a locked 60fps, so every spin lands with satisfying, readable weight.

02

Living constellation map

Complete levels to trace real star patterns. Finished charts unlock lore entries written with a Newtown astronomy club.

03

Offline-first campaign

All 240 story levels play with zero connection. Progress queues locally and syncs the moment you are back on Wi-Fi.

04

Weekly protocol events

A fresh timed sector drops every Thursday 6pm AEST with unique modifiers and a global leaderboard reset.

05

Fair, cosmetic-only store

No pay-to-win. Optional crystal skins and observatory themes from AUD $2.99 — the puzzles are identical for everyone.

06

Cross-device sync

One free account carries streaks, star charts, and rank across phone, tablet, and Chromebook.

Good to know

Questions from the launchpad

Yes. The complete 240-level campaign, weekly events, and constellation atlas are free forever. The only purchases are optional cosmetic crystal skins and observatory themes, starting at AUD $2.99, which never affect puzzle difficulty or progression.

CrystalSpin Protocol runs on Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above, and needs roughly 320 MB of free storage. It is optimised for phones from 2019 onward but scales down gracefully on older hardware by reducing particle detail.

Absolutely. The entire story campaign is offline-first, so you can spin through Newtown tunnels or on a long-haul flight. Leaderboards, co-op relay puzzles, and weekly events sync automatically once you reconnect.

It does. Create a free CrystalSpin account and your streaks, unlocked sectors, star charts, and galactic rank travel with you across phone, tablet, and Chromebook. No purchase is required to enable sync.

A new timed sector arrives every Thursday at 6pm AEST with fresh modifiers, and we ship a larger story chapter of 20+ levels roughly every quarter. Balance patches land as needed based on community feedback from our Newtown studio.

Email us at [email protected] or call the studio on +61 2 9555 6829 during business hours. We read every message and often fold player ideas into the next weekly event.
