About CrystalMania
Discover the passionate team and innovative vision behind Australia's most beloved crystal puzzle gaming experience.
Our Journey
Founded in 2019 in the heart of Sydney, CrystalMania began as a dream shared by three passionate game developers who believed that puzzle games could be more than just entertainment—they could be art. Our journey started in a small co-working space in Surry Hills, where we spent countless nights perfecting the physics of crystal movements and the satisfaction of perfect matches.
What started as a weekend project quickly evolved into something extraordinary. We noticed that traditional match-3 games lacked the visual sophistication and strategic depth that modern players craved. Our breakthrough came when we developed our proprietary Crystal Physics Engine, which simulates realistic light refraction and creates those mesmerizing cascade effects that players love.
Today, with over 2 million active players worldwide and recognition from the Australian Game Developers Association, CrystalMania continues to push the boundaries of what puzzle games can achieve. Our commitment to innovation, player satisfaction, and environmental responsibility drives everything we do.
