Get ready to manipulate time itself in Crystal Ball of Firmament on Xbox.
Crystal Ball of Firmament is a new action-platformer adventure from developer HealliesGames and publisher Xitilon – and it launches today, right now, on Xbox Series X|S.
This magical quest challenges you to help a magician find their missing spell book by using a mystical crystal ball to swap between day and night.
Priced at a budget-friendly £4.19, Crystal Ball of Firmament sends you on a journey across four distinct biomes – mountains, woods, a winter forest, and a city – encompassing 32 levels filled with challenges, enemies, and secrets.
Warping Time to Find the Tome
The core mechanic setting Crystal Ball of Firmament apart is the ability to instantly switch between day and night using the titular artifact. This isn’t just a visual change; warping the time cycle directly affects the game world.
Obstacles may appear or disappear, platforms might shift, and enemy behaviours can change entirely depending on whether it’s day or night.
You’ll need to master this time-bending ability to navigate the levels, overcome environmental puzzles, defeat enemies, and collect tokens. These tokens can then be used to purchase useful upgrades, aiding your magician on their quest to retrieve the lost spell book.
