The sequel to Crusher, Crusher Castle II is an adventure game that takes place in a haunted mansion with 25 rooms arranged in a 5×5 grid. Each room is randomly generated at the beginning of each game, so the game is different every time. Each room is full of boxes, bags of gold, and ghosts. The ghosts come in three colors, indicating their speed. This time the unmovable blocks are gone, the rooms are bigger, there are more enemies in each room, and ghosts of different speeds can appear in the same room together. Bombs can be used to clear a path through the boxes. Instead of oxygen tanks, you need candles to help you escape. Candles are depleted with every step you take. Touching a ghost will cost you a life, but running out of candles will instantly end the game. The boxes can be pushed if there is nothing behind them, which allows you to create a protective barrier between yourself and the ghosts, or to trap them. You can crush a ghost by trapping it with boxes so that it can't move. Crushed ghosts disappear, and a candle will appear somewhere in the level. Every time you re-enter a room, all of the ghosts will return. After scoring 10,000 points, you can begin to work on your objectives, so that you can achieve your ultimate goal of escaping from the mansion. As you achieve each objective, one of the rooms will change to contain the next objective, so the entire mansion has to be searched for each one. The registered version allows you to save a game in progress.
