This game really is amazing. Considering it's a flash game it has a ridiculously high level of polish and attention to detail. The one thing I'd suggest would be to add a quick travel option where clicking on the map would automatically teleport you to a location if you've discovered it already. This would massively helpful and break down some of the tedium of running through the same places over and over. Other than that this game is 5+ stars, awesomely done and thanks for such a great free game.
The level design in this game are brilliant. You can easily sense the meticulous work that went into making them all feel and play right. The art style, overall game play mechanics, whimsical humor and plot line really make this game shine. I wasn't expecting much from the start but I was surely proven wrong. Well done, I hope to see more!
Am I the only one who finds this version to be overbearingly convoluted? It seems like they tried a bit too hard to add features to this game. The beauty of the other GemCrafts was the amount of awesome things to do with a relatively short list of features and in-game items. Anyone else agree?
I don't like how the developer cites a "security issue" with having the other game modes hosted only on his site, yet when you go to view the high scores they are all quite obviously hacked. I'm assuming this "security issue" was really just a ploy to get people visit his URL, but all the same this game friggin' owns.
@AgentLampshade ... how is this game unique? Name some other games that have the same gameplay ... oh right, you can't .. because this game is unique :)
The movement system is obviously clunky and annoying. I have no real idea how to navigate back to the original village, and there are no indicators on which way to go. I really wanted to like this game, but after dying for the 3rd or 4th time without being able to save easily, I'm going to call it day.
This seems like it would be an amazing game. However, on my first trip on the subway I ended up finding Anna. The game lasted me about 2 mins in total. Maybe put something in to prevent this from happening so quickly, as I didn't really get to enjoy the game. Gonna run thru it again now.
This is an example of great gameplay, graphics, and mechanics all working together in harmony.
Well done, I can't wait for the next installment to see how you mix it up.
