Crystal Caves is a video game written and published by Apogee Software. In the game, you are Mylo Steamwitz, a miner who wants to get rich quick. In order to invest in some ridiculous get-rich-quick schemes, including, but not limited to, starting a "Twibble" farm (compare with Tribble), he travels to the Altairian star system and ventures into the caves in the planets there to harvest large, naturally grown crystals.

Milo comes with a rocket launcher and has to jump and shoot his way through the levels to collect all crystals. The game has a number of identifiying features, such as a gravity inversion powerup, and an unexpected death when you accidentally shoot out a level's air generator.

Like most Apogee games, this game was released in three episodes (known as volumes), the first one being shareware. It was not very popular, because its graphics, animation, gameplay, and level design were inferior to those of the Commander Keen series that was released around the same time. The three volumes are called The Trouble with Twibbles, Slugging It Out, and Mylo Versus the Supernova.

@SteelFire_AE Arcane if you like red and the crystals atop the bow are kin to those in Crystal Caves (DF). Like dragons, then Dragonbow.
