Redder Mars Planet

OK, dumbass title, but quite a challenging and fun online game by Anna Anthropy/McVinny.
It looks like an Amiga game and reminds me of two old C64 games called Arc + Nodes of Yesod.
I played it for hours to get to the ending *SPOILER* , didn't collect all the gems but the game autosaves so you can go back to it anytime.
Featuring music by Babylon Zoo - Spaceman (Zupervarian mix)

Which is what the real ending is like. Not much different from this, except your viewpoint and ship being very different when you leave.

Not sure if I liked the music added here, but it did fit the game at that point xD

So we leave, knowing it wasn't just in our heads, the rest is ambiguous, and I believe it's intended to be so. Some people claim there to be deep, literate meanings behind the whole transformation thing, which I don't buy,

but it's an excellent game.

The player above didn't collect ALL the crystals. Something weirder happens when you do.

The twist is the 'transformation' you undergo when you collect ALL the crystals.

If you look closely, you can see that when leaving(assuming that's not from the astronauts point of view, wouldn't make sense), the ship's still as different as you saw before leaving.

I dont get it... after getting all the crystals, do you just leave the planet? is that all that happens? no surprise twists, plot, no nothing? ):
