be real great if you could disable auto saves, since the game crashes every time it tries. and following the games instructions i see no option to increase storage size

Wow, this game came out over 10 years ago and it is STILL one of my favorite games. The sequels to this game are definitely better, but this game has got all the core mechanics: combine gems to upgrade one, different gems have different abilities, swap gems around to move them where you need, and speed up waves for extra resources. If you liked this game, definitely try out the other Gemcraft ones.

[Disrighthereismy] I see no new year's resolution for you to stop rating every single game ever a 1/5 and then writing a novel with the same tedious arguments. Too bad.

1/5 all tower defense games are trash. this suffers the same thing all tower defense games suffer: too slow, too boring, and not worth your time. even at 3x speed, this is slow. this whole game can be improved by letting you place gems anywhere and having a slider option to change speed from 1x speed to 10x speed. this is boring because there is no thought/strategy in the gameplay. this can be fixed by making a good game. this is not worth your time since i already explained that all tower defense games suck, therefore sucky games do not deserve my or your time. 1/5 how disappointing... the first badge of the day game in the new year sucks... not that i expected much anyway considering that 99% of badge of the day games suck.

I cant believe how the stupid admins are! This game is just "GemCraft", but its not the chasing shadows version so 1/5

I notice while trying to get amulets for more points that building towers reset how many monsters you killed in a row so be sure to build them first and then put all the gems in at once. I know its harder but you need the points for level completion.

Here's a few tips.
When going for score, be confident in your gems and rush waves, they can do more than you think they can.
Don't fear letting enemies through, each enemy has a banishment cost, and panicking to kill an enemy could drain the mana that would otherwise banish them.
If an enemy is past your defenses, and you don't have enough mana to banish them, rush the next wave, killing the enemies from it will get you enough mana to banish the enemy.

This is a great start to an awesome game series, but what's the deal with some amulets being only available at a competitor's site? I left that particular site over their terrible ads, so I won't be going back there.

Still a classic. But man, I would love an updated version with the keyboard shortcuts from the later editions of the game.

Great game. I like placing gems in a certain order that would benefit the most (slow -> mana steal -> shock -> triple damage, for example). Remember to try and fuse only gems that have the same colour, they get extra bonuses :)

I would find a breakdown of the scoring to be very useful. It's difficult to improve my level score when I don't know what gives me points.

+beeble2003 - I agree with you, this game at the actual days need a update or something. But even with those whole years old, I like the game and it's very fun.

Wow, this is nearly ten years old! Still good fun to play, though I wish they'd come back and update the user interface, which is kinda clunky and definitely showing its age. C-click-B-drag is pretty clumsy for making a bunch of gem bombs, for example. Thankfully, the underlying game is good enough that this is just a quibble.

Coming back to this after having played the very last one goes to show how far this series has come. It's actually kinda rough playing this iteration again. But it makes me wanna revisit the newest one.

To gain more experience easily, buy squares for the first few waves, and send about 3-6 waves at a time. During the last few waves, buy as many triangle gems as you can, use as bombs, then buy more triangles (keep fingers over the hotkeys to spend quickly

How can i see the Skill of Maigc descriptions? there says roll over the icons but i can not or i don't know how. Help me please
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game is amazing. Also an impressive transformation from this to Chasing Shadows. The last skill, however, was too game breaking for the game to be fun enough. Also the scoring system is bad. It collides with most people's play style and thus makes it needlessly hard to get a high score. Especially early game. 4/5 overall.

I really like the gem aspect of it, the game looks could stand a little improvement but its still entertaining. i cannot figure out how game recovery works, once i reopen the pc every saved game is gone?
