Gemcrafter

How to play

GemCrafter is a 2D puzzle game about matching gems together by using the mouse. To move a gem, just click on it with the Left Mouse Button and then drag it over to the place you want to move it. When you're on the level select screen, you can use the cursor to navigate the UI and then click on unlocked levels that you want to play as well as any available power-ups that you want to use. The goal of each level is to use matching to fulfill the level requirements aiming to get all three stars so that you can get a Magic Key. Each level presents a square grid with gems placed in designated spots. To make a match, you just need to place one gem adjacent to two or more similar gems. When matched, the gems will fuse into one new gem. As long as there's a clear path, gems can be moved anywhere on the grid. Keep in mind that with every move, more gems will be added to the grid. If you run out of moves (indicated in the circle at the top of the screen) or the grid fills up, you'll need to restart the level again. Keep this in mind when playing on grids that have stone blocks. As you progress, gems with traits like levitation or being frozen in ice will appear and you'll need to make use of their mechanics. You'll want to use the least amount of moves possible to complete the level and earn three stars. This will grant you a Magic Key and the more you have, the more likely you are to unlock the Treasure Chests that appear along the journey. Opening them grants you power-ups like Pickaxes that you can activate prior to starting the level. Each chest holds a special gem linked to the current world you're in. You need to collect all the special gems to complete the world.
