Magic Platforms Concept

I was told there wasn't enough magical elements in Rad, so I started to concept out some floating platforms and how they would work.

The color of the crystal indicates how it will work. For example: blue will either be stationary or move horizontally, red will fall/ crumble after a short period of time, and green would either just move up or move up and down.

Also made a tall, rock wall for wall jumping.

I'm trying to keep with the crystal aesthetic for the most part, so they resemble McGuffinite or at least not fully-formed McGuffinite.

I would also consider not relying on color to dictate function as a way to be sensitive to other disabilities. Maybe incorporate specific shape language to make sure the function can still stand alone from the colors.

Ye, I was thinking of having a particle effect also show it's state since you can't see the Crystal's from the top. Maybe even a certain animation or even maybe the crystal pokes through the top so you can see it's color

Make it so it is easier to see what color the gem is so then players can tell which does which more easily.
