"Linking my compass to the Gem, it appears I have to search North." - I'm sorry, but he MIGHT have wanted to double check on that, as all compasses point North.

It would be hilarious if she never really magically-imbued her compass to point to the Super-Gem. It was just naturally points north! It's like she gets there:
You: I am searching for the Gem of Power, do you have it in this Arcane Vault?
Guy: No sorry, this is just a McDonalds. Turns out that we really are everywhere. Can I take your order?

@kitsunegames only the highest xp earned is counted. so if you earned 400 at first, then 450 the next time, only 50xp will be added, not 450xp. it prevents ppl from leveling up by repeated grinding at the same level

Really? Beating the whole game isn't an impossible badge? I'm surprised I don't have a beard by now I've been playing so long...and I'm a woman!

There's no balance to the early game. This was something that put me off years ago when I first played it. The grind of getting past the first set of levels kills the enjoyment big time.

I've wrote some hints and sights about the game but noticed comments are limited to 1000 characters... then realised how awesome is this game and can't understand why did I hate the series in the past :)
Also...
Monster's den: a long afternoon, impossible endurance badge.
Gemcraft games: weeks of gaming every evening, hard badge.

Adding on to what BavarianDude said, by using the Orange-Red (RO) supertrap strategy, you can have millions of max mana without cheating and score trillions of points.
One of the best things about this game is that there are so many levels of play - when you think you've figured out the best possible method of playing the game, something you had previously ignored pops up and you realize that there are even more effective ways to score trillions of points.

@gameinabottle That's awesome to hear, I've played the whole series to death and I can't wait to get stuck into another chapter!

Came back to this to see if I could finish it since I hadn't played in a while but then remembered my progress was on a PC that's DOA. This is the one thing I HATE about Kong, they don't store it on their servers unless you PAY for some premium version. Two thumbs down & two middle fingers up

Note: The experience system in Gemcraft works based on your HIGHEST score in each mode of each level. For example, let's say your high scores in a level are currently 400k in Normal, 500k in Heroic, and 600k in Arcane. If you redid all these modes and got 600k on all of them, you would only get 200k exp on Normal, because your new score is only 200k above your last high score. Likewise, you would get 100k exp for Heroic, and no exp for Arcane because you didn't beat your high score. In other words, it is almost always better to complete new modes and levels than to redo old ones for better scores.

@David: I've played this a ton on both sites, and never once have I needed or wanted the AG only skills, improved gem bombs just doesn't really matter.

I'd love to see an updated version where you can choose multiple game modes at the same time. For example: Swarm + Sudden Death or Heroic + Time Siege. Playing multiple modes would increase your score exponentially.

when you speed the wave up your towers miss. You shouldn't be punished or put at a disadvantage for speeding up the wave. Im not talking about skipping the wave either i mean the fast-forward button.

Third time starting from the beginning because of playing on different computers.... myeh.. ;-; ROFL Oh well, it's fun.

For those of you very, very confused people,(especially guyguy9) activate shrine means dragging a gem to that shrine thingy so it will blast out lightning or smth.the higher grade your gem, the more lightnings and damage.

you should really consider throwing some of these ridiculously sized endurance badges under 'impossible' instead... I fear the loss of productivity the day the system picks that as the weekend's hard badge.

Gem craft has been my faveorite ever since The first game, chapter 0. I am still trying to finish. I wish we could save the game to the cloud or some where else loosing the save game file's are really annoying

After several attempts on different laptops over the years, I finally came back to beat this game before the flash-apocalypse hits. Interesting game series but yeah, so long to complete.

Made it to level 90, then the game froze. Reloaded and the game didn't save. Back to level one, which kinda sucks actually. Oh well, already got the badges a few years ago. Plus now I now how to breeze through the first ten maps: max out starting mana first.

you create a random gem, but you can change their colour if you gem bomb an inventory row with a gem of desired colour. For this, invest in mastery skills and keep a gem of the required colour somewhere safe, and replenish your storage without using up all of the gems of that colour.

Can anyone explain why everyone is terrible at this game? I came back after two months of Labyrinth and beat the highscore all time. Legit. They are going to delete it, but I could post a video as proof... People are paranoid...
