Real strategy that fits in a coffee break — but never feels like work. Capture territory on a fresh Voronoi map every match: flood-fill, encircle, chain-explode. Lose one? Deal a new board and go again. 2–10 minute matches, easy to pick up, impossible to play just once.

Crystal Wars is a turn-based territory strategy where every battlefield is a fresh, procedurally generated Voronoi crystal map. The geometry is the strategy — and since no two maps are ever the same, there's always one more game in you.
It's the kind of strategy you pick up in seconds and put down only because you have to. Make a bad move? No big deal — see it, learn it, deal a new board, and go again. Matches run 2–10 minutes — play a quick one or take your time.
Flood Fill — click a cell to capture every connected cell of the same color in one move
Encirclement — wall off enemy territory and claim it instantly
Supply Lines — cut your opponent off from their base; isolated cells become easy targets
Bomb Chains — surround a bomb cell to set off chain reactions that reshape the battlefield
Energy Crystals — capture one to steal a bonus turn
Easy to learn, satisfying to outplay — the depth is there when you want it, never in your way when you don't.
Campaign — 24 hand-crafted levels across 5 campaigns, from your first capture to genuinely tricky
Tutorial — 6-step interactive guide; you're playing in under a minute
vs AI — Easy and Medium for a breezy game, Hard (real minimax) when you want a fight
Live Multiplayer — quick online matches in Blitz or Standard, with your own field settings
Simulation — sit back and watch two AIs duke it out
6 crystal rendering presets — from clean Minimal to refractive Opal. 39 color palettes across 4, 5, and 6-color tiers. Electric borders, Time Warp slow-motion, Screen Shake, and sparkle VFX make every capture feel good. Preview any palette before you play.

Crystal Wars is a solo-developed game by Vertex Noord, built with TypeScript, Canvas, and a custom Voronoi engine from scratch. The Hard AI runs a genuine minimax search on a background thread — there if you want the challenge, easy to skip if you just want to relax.
