Interaction with the crystals just got a lot more interesting. You’ll no longer be able to one-shot everything. Instead, the crystals will begin to glow when they take damage.

Naturally, larger crystals take more hits before breaking, and each hit produces a musical note of increasingly higher pitch, drawn from whatever chord the soundtrack is currently using.

When a cube has absorbed enough energy to break, it explodes at the next rhythmic interval of the music, producing a bass note which adds a welcome depth to the soundtrack.
