Crystal Descent
Crystal Descent sends a fish swimming down a crystal cave. Grab gems, dodge sharks, jellyfish and eels, and answer a question at every checkpoint.
The demo needs no account and no card.

About Crystal Descent
The deeper you go, the more there is to dodge, so the checkpoints double as a breather. It's a reflex game, but the questions set the pace of the dive.
It plays both multiple-choice and matching questions.
