Skydive while picking as many crystals as you can, and bring them back to the summit to beat the level. Don't be too greedy, though ;) Crystals freeze into platforms you will need to climb your way to the goal, so the more you pick the harder you'll have it.
To assist you a bit you can also count on a booster pack that will give you some extra impulse, but each usage will cost you 3 crystals. Check the Pow icon on the HUD to check when the booster becomes available or when it finishes charging.
*Keyboard Controls:*
* Left/Right arrow (A/D): Move horizontally.
* Space: Jump
* Left control: Charge and release to use the boost and reach places beyond your jumping ability.
*Gamepad (RECOMMENDED)*
Reference controller was an Xbox One.
* Left stick's left and right to...move left and right.
* Press A to jump
* Hold and release X to use your booster.
*Changelog*
* 6/12/2017: After checking the post-submission FAQ I've re-uploaded a hotfix build with improvements to the slippery controls and occasional buggy booster behaviour. If you've already tested the game, please let me know if it feels better now. The MAC build is still the outdated one, though.
Also, improved this page and the itch.io description.

*Technology*
* Graphics - Aseprite, Photoshop CS6
* Engine - Unity 2017.2. I used the free version of DOTween
* Audio: Recordr for sound recording (you wouldn't have guessed by the name), Audacity for editing.
