- armorgames, on 04/17/2009, -2/+14We hope everyone enjoys the Prequel. It's been in works for Months and it was absolutely worth the wait.
- netburnr, on 04/18/2009, -0/+5I don't think its possible for me to tell you how much I love you guys. The original was an epic time waster and has kept me from being bored at work for awhile, and after about an hour in the new game I can tell this is going to be that much more Epic of a time waster.
Ya'll freaking ROCK. - netburnr, on 04/18/2009, -0/+5You need to adjust your skills, use the 2nd skill which is more initial mana. I do agree the skills are a bit harder to understand this time, but if you do what I just said level 2 is a breeze.
- nettleman, on 05/15/2009, -0/+3This has got to be one of the best tower defense games ever.
- BoredDigger, on 04/19/2009, -0/+3Best tower game ever
- Sublex, on 04/18/2009, -0/+3Sooo worth the wait.
- danmcneely, on 04/17/2009, -1/+4Here's the original: http://armorgames.com/play/1716/gemcraft
and a strategy guide for the new game: http://armorgames.com/guide/gemcraft-zero-gem-of-e ... - Kryptenx, on 04/30/2009, -0/+3I was going to suggest a total time played stat, but on second thought I'd rather not know how much time I have thrown down the drain with this game. It's ***** crack on a computer screen.
- RawVoltage, on 04/17/2009, -0/+2sweet! :D
- gamekid, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2The score system seems very different in that regard; I'm not even sure (partway through the game) that there is a shimmering window score.
For that matter, the strategy feels different, and tougher than before (e.g. mana is tougher to accumulate); except for a non-working shortcut key (for gem creation), though, I love it no less than the first (a lot). - Adamskii, on 04/17/2009, -0/+2Good sequel, certainly challenging.
- airstrike, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2I haven't even played the prequel (slow connection, still loading) but if it's even half of what the original was, it's still going to be one of the best web games ever created. Heck, one of the best games, period. This game is a freaking time vampire.
Flash-based or not, you've really crafted a gem with this one. - netburnr, on 04/18/2009, -0/+1Agreed, after about 6 or 8 levels just making it through you have enough skills to go back and start getting glowing frames, its not hard at all.
- twocrows, on 04/28/2009, -0/+1it's 10:55 PM Monday, 4/27.
I played the game earlier today and now can't get into it.
is an update going on now, does anyone know?
thanx.
and, btw -- the game is GREAT! though frustrating at times when I lose and lose -- but that makes winning sweeter when I finally get there. - BevansDesign, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1Great update, but I do agree that the difficulty is a bit too high. I'm up to the 22nd map, but I've had to go back and replay nearly every previous map, and all the available alternate modes, grabbing as much extra XP as I can just so I can continue progressing. I just don't have enough mana, or enough power from the gems, or not enough time, or whatever, and I even re-allocate my skill points to take advantage of specific gems and whatnot.
I shouldn't have to grind XP like I do.
Otherwise, I really love the game, and the new gameplay elements add a lot of variety. Though I do wish the trap tooltips were a little more clear. I still don't really know why I'd ever want to stick a yellow, lime, or red gem in a trap besides damage, and they seem to do more damage in towers anyway. - DoctorT144, on 05/04/2009, -0/+0You have to also destroy all the beacons, in addition to the secondary monster buildings and rubble.
- reyoo30309, on 04/18/2009, -3/+3I really want to like this game but...
Difficulty curve is crap.
Beat the first level in about 30 seconds and now I have been stuck at the second stage for like 30 mins. And I have not only beaten the original but I got perfects scores on all levels.
The whole re-roll your stats and try again is bs. It keeps you playing the same level 5-6 times. - twocrows, on 05/23/2009, -0/+0I just noticed that the Special Damage Shrine Burst Amulets only include blue, cyan and green. All other amulets include all colors. Is this a glitch or was it done on purpose?
- twocrows, on 05/03/2009, -0/+0I'm having a problem with the 'destroying buildings' feature.
in the lower levels, if I destroyed all the extraneous buildings, I got the bonus for doing so.
after I passed the first arcane guardian's lair, the game stopped giving me the bonus.
if it's not registering the fact that I've destroyed all the buildings and piles of rubble, will I be able to win the hidden amulets? - pope7, on 04/19/2009, -2/+1I am excited it is finally out, but I hope you've learned how to gauge release dates better, seriously. I know 4 people who were excited for the initial release date, and then you played us with four extensions, and they refuse to play it now. Don't alienate the fans who care enough to check blogs, and just leave the release date open if you aren't sure.
That said, you are a wonderful developer, and the game is excellent so far. <3. - travcm, on 04/18/2009, -2/+1Much better than the original, which I liked. This has a good balance between dual and pure gems, difficult levels, etc,.. 10/10.
Doodle - for most, it was pretty obvious on how to get the scores necessary for shimmering (in the first Gemcraft). Use mana spells early and as much as possible and send multiple levels asap. This Gemcraft is different. - ghostek13, on 04/20/2009, -1/+0dam, i have problem with Adobe flash player and i cant saving... program dont remeber my setting when i change from 100kb to 10mb...nothing happend ;((( maybe some1 have link to download this game??
- DoodleMaster, on 04/17/2009, -3/+1I hope this one has clearer instructions on how to get the shimmering window score I always hated replaying the same level over and over again trying to get it...successfully killing every unit mind you without losing a life and being told that wasn't good enough for the shimmering window, and without any explanation as to what I need to do differently to get it .....
- foolin420, on 04/21/2009, -2/+0Just as good as the first! The only problem i seem to notice is that splash damage from red gems doesnt seem to be working. They seem to only be causing damage to the enemy it hits.
- travcm, on 04/18/2009, -3/+1you must be doing something wrong. the curve isnt that bad.
