how to finish any level with red and/or orange gems
1. get R or O masteries if needed
2. make a level 3 RO gem
3. put it in the best position on your map
4. make a second one if needed, so you don't have downtime
5. combine your level 3 RO with level 1 R or O gems
6. if any other level 1 gems appear, bomb them with R or O gems to change their color

This one is not as good as a couple of the other versions. This one was made to be a bit too difficult, which takes the fun out of it.

Yes, formulaic. You must save up for the triangle gems. Maybe save the cheaper gems for bombs? Regardless, not interesting enough for me to stick around. 1/5 (again)

I'm with superfustrado. Must be formulaic and we haven't solved the formula. I can't beat level 2 and I'm a long-time tower defense player. 1/5

@Superfustrado: It shouldn't be hard and you can play through the game beating normal mode only in most levels, you are probably missing something or waste too many skill points in weak skills. Focus on the mana gain and gem cost/damage/speed skills. Dual gems are best.
Anger early waves to get more mana from them.

HELP! My game got interrupted, and when I reloaded the page, my game was no longer saved. I was at level 53, had completed "Normal Mode" up to field 25. Now it's gone! Is there any way to get it back?? Please help me!!

@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!

I got the easy badge in 2009. I got the last hard badge today, just over 10 years later. Admittedly, I started over a bunch of times when I got a new computer. Worth it.

It's awesome to see some veteran wizards still playing GemCraft 0 in 2019, 10 years after release! :) a new GemCraft chapter is in development, GemCraft Frostborn Wrath has just got a Coming Soon page on Steam (you can search for the game to get there and Wishlist it to get notified when it arrives). And, nothing's sure yet, but I also have some future plans to release remakes of the old GemCraft chapters, to make them somehow survive the end of Flash Player support in web browsers.

I think dual gem mastery is better than the pure gem. If you have a lvl 3-4 gem and combine it with a different color gem of grade 1 the damage doubles

if i remember correctly this was the first game of the series, and like many other say, the most sadistic and masochistic one.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Of all the gemcraft games, which I really like, this is the one I don't enjoy mainly because of many small design decisions that are plain sadistic, eg. not being able to pause and bomb/build like in other games.

so game says loading... then a black screen.. nothing else happens... same with every single gemcraft game on kongregate? perhaps something is broken?

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.

I now have the problem where I cannot save games on a Mac - I wondered i this happened when I updated Flash and wondered if could fix by putting copy of saved game in the correct place on hard drive

I've played this game a bunch of times before, but I just realized that it uses periods instead of commas. Now I'm torn because it is a great game, but I hate that way of writing numbers.

After all this time, I noticed a bug in the way the color is kept on fusion. I don't know why but poison always has a higher priority over other colors… Don't get the point...

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

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.

The Gemcraft games are STILL among my favorites and I return to them again and again. There is just nothing else out there in tower defense that even comes close.

Not sure why people are having problems saving. Both my manual and autosave from over 1 year ago were still there when I came back a few days ago. And still there today.

Awesome game came back to it after years and years of wanting to I was able to beat a couple arcane guardians but someone closed out the tab while I was asleep... so maybe I'll get the itch again in a decade or two.

I have played this game for years and your latest change has taken the saved
games from my memory and after all this time I don't feel like starting over.
