Pyramidal Crystal

Pyramidal Crystals are a type of crystal in Smash Hit. These crystals take the shape of a square-based pyramid, and are the most abundant in the game. They grant the player 3 balls.

Pyramidal crystals are first introduced in the first segment of the Introductory Stage. Transformational crystals, introduced in Checkpoint 10, will also become pyramidal crystals when approached close enough (at a distance of 6 away from it, after becoming Octahedral Crystals). Reverse Transformational Crystals start out as Pyramidal crystals.

History
In the pre-Alpha builds of Smash Hit from January and February 2013, there were no pyramid crystals. They first appear in the March 2013 Builds from the 11th. They appear green in color and give the player 500 points. In version 0.1, they appear frequently throughout the game and give the player the same amount of points. In the trailer version, they appear blue and give the player 100 points. By version 0.8.0, they were changed to give the player 3 balls, after the points system were scrapped.

Teaser
In Mediocre's blog "First Screenshots of Smash Hit!", images of early checkpoint ideas were posted. These two screenshots had pyramids. The Smash Hit Gameplay Teaser also used the pyramids.
