I just simply love the uniqueness of this game! The way of upgrading, the way you can contribute skill points after leveling. Cannot believe this game came out in 2008! There are none that compares. 5/5.

Did the math - it's cheaper to combine cheap gems, but cheaper to buy higher-level gems outright. With maxed Gemcraft skill, L2 is 143 to make and 156 to buy, L3 is 421 to make and 426 to buy, L4 is 977 to make and 966 to buy, L5 is 2067 to make and 2046 to buy, and L6 is 4227 to make and 4206 to buy. So unless you really want crafting achievements in your level, just wait and buy the gems you need to make higher-level gems, unless you're trying to make pure gems, in which case you probably waste less money overall crafting from L1 gems and bombing enemies with the wrong color gems.

If you're going for a high-level pure gem, do it the orange hidden level, sure it has less waves than other levels, but there's only one gem, and it gives more mana per hit...

My favorite part of this game is the sfx. It has no music, but with such well recorded, perfectly designed, and deeply atmospheric sfx, who needs music? This is a merit which many game producers would be proud of.
