@jonny0panic: in addition to what NightReaver said, the shrine itself has a clock-like animation which causes it to light up as it charges (hard to explain in words, but you'll see it in the game with ease), use that as a rough guide to how charged it is. Also, if you do not see the information of the shrine when you mouse-over it, check you have not set your 'Info panels plate opacity' to 0 in the options and also check you haven't toggled panels off in the game (press I to turn them back on if you have). Finally, I would like to mention how the developer has spent so much time and effort on this game that you should add +2 to your game rating, just to show you appreciate his work, thanks.

@Zachbrew: What you described is a good tactic, but in GemCraft Chapter 0! In GCL combining high grade gems with low grade ones boost their stats, but combining equal gems and increasing grades is more efficient. Don't mislead people.

Playing to much GemCraft Chapter 0. Every time --> *Creating a gem after clicking the the color wanted* "Man I hope I get this." Thank you for adding this feature.

@Cipper80 I do agree a lot of devs seem obviously in it for the money (which isn't a purely negative action anyway, since money is required in daily life to live) but in this case it's practically a donation to the devs here since it's just a small boost. I don't think they're being greedy here.

i dont want to change anyones opinion but personally after playing the game and stuggling then getting so far through i stopped relying on poison gems. it can be usefull but i think its more like a support gem like slow or armor tearing. this gems i think are for mostly making it easier for better gems. i agree with versperbot, red/lime could make a big difference. i would alos try out lime/yellow/orange or lime/yellow as possible gems. the triple one would cost more altogether but can add some good advantages in my opinion however i leave it upto you. hope this helps.

I just realized the "globe" in the bottom corner shows your completed multiplier for each labyrinth. Good to know which ones you can attempt again for more experience.

@CS9023 If you paid attention during the first stages of the game, you should know that the corner levels are hidden, and opened by unlocking certain medals. The final stage is at the center of the labyrinth.

pwnageelite, "waves beaten" stat in the scoring table is the one you need to push up to 100 (or 101, if GiaB didn't fix it).

hmm, it's 9:00pm. I should go to bed after this level. *3:00am* Okay, I'm ABSOLUTELY serious this time! I'll go to bed after THIS level.

Girlfriend: "So are you coming? I have some new hot underwear
Me: "One more wave and I'm coming, I SWEAR"

"YEEEAH BUDDY wizard lvl 200! Uhm, I could swear I had some stuff to do today but can't remember..."
"FUUUUUUUU-"

Found my first tomb. Broke it open just as the last wave was ending to see what was inside. Did NOT expect a huge wave of roided-out monsters to plow through all of my defenses and kill me.

@lackinglack1 Getting premium is about supporting the developer ^^ And there is enough hard stuff to do with endurance mode.

Great game. Making mazes with the walls, making OP amplifier + trap combos and overall exploring the huge map is just part of the fun. 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
tip: if you use a poison gem in a trap and the monster dies from the poison effect, that counts as a "poison kill" and not a "trap kill"! this is important when trying to get a "# of kills with traps" amulet!

when you see an epic game such as this one costing so little and compare it to all thos crappy, energy-based-facebook-bs game that plagues Kongregate nowadays ... well i don't really know what i was gonna say but this game rocks and those other suck !! ^^"

So I tried playing a round and my eyes started to adjust too it, and I started liking it more so I increased my rating to 4 from a 3.

++ I regret that there are only five stars to award to this game. It is the one game I consistently return to and always look forward to playing. I've completed the game, but still return to improve scores and beat challenges levels. Ready for the sequel, please!

I got the last badge for this game in March of 2012 and then moved on. Yesterday I decided to take another look. I wiped out my saved game and started from scratch. And, yes, I'm hooked again.

Basically what vesperbot is saying: ONLY combine gems of the same grade :) Also remember that when combining same-grade gems your new gem will be one grade higher than the original ones.

Did you notice that you act like one of the monsters while traveling through the labyrinth? Don't notice it's tile-based and you can only go a predetermined path, while getting attacked from all sides? There you have it! At least it's more fun than getting killed, respawned and then killed again, over and over again...

Bloodhound gem! <3
Been playing for months, then not playing for months, and started again today, noticing I still missed the hard badge. Found out you could unlock gem colors, and got past the field I was stuck in! :D

i like the fact how the different parts in the map align making a representation of where you're heading to and how it makes it feel like it's actually a maze. Kind of makes my think that the wizard had a small way to go, but a long way to improvise.

https://gameinabottle.com/gcl.php ?-----The full premium version of Labyrinth is at GameInABottle's website. Give this a +1 so everyone can enjoy :D

One of those rare, rare games where I actually felt like I wanted to buy premium content. Not only that, the premium stuff doesn't present any sort of distinct advantage to the buyer and only serves to make an already amazing experience even better.
A much deserved 5/5.

I have been playing Gemcraft labarynth for a couple of months. Today when I clicked play it says it can only be played on Kongregate and to go to that site. What site do you think I am on?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Not that this will breach the top comments list, for those of you badge hunters out there, the first two epic stages are at D10, and J10. You'll have to sink a day or two into playing this to get them, but good luck folks. Good luck and happy defending!

i love the "while the game is loading, read stratigy guide" hint. surely because i'm on my download limit and i chose a slow internet, i got plenty of time to read it :D

Under Win7, the data for kongregate is saved under c:/users/[username]/appdata/roaming/macromedia/flashplayer/#sharedobjects/KW9RZLGE/chat.kongregate.com/gamez/[number]/[number]/live/[game]
Anything in [] will vary based on the system user or game. This game directory is (on my system- I don't know if the numbers are the same for all systems) 0011/0537/gcl-kong.swf (gcl stands for GemCraftLabyrinth)
Some of these folders are hidden, so you may need to adjust folder properties.

For everyone that thinks they lost their save: -(1)- Make sure that when you play, you’ve connected to Kong. There should be a green plug next to your name in the top right (above the chat/achievements panel), not a red one. -(2)- Turn off private browsing/incognito mode. Make sure you have programs like CCleaner turned off, as well as any program that clears cookies upon closing. -(3)- Set local storage for "chat.kongregate.com" to unlimited. -(4)- Look for a file called “giabgclsavedata.sol” on your computer. If this file does not exist anywhere on your computer, then you indeed lost your save file and will have to start over again. If you do find it, copy the file and save it someplace safe like your desktop or flashdrive. To get this to work on Kong, paste the file in the NEWEST "chat.kongregate.com" folder. That save file works on all sites with Gemcraft Labyrinthe by just posting it in the folder connected to that site and you can also use it on other computers.
