nice
very addicting! the only time i didn't like it was when there were like 8 gems. Its very had to make a powerful pure gem when there's 8 possibilties.
Reviews for "GemCraft"
this is going down as.
one of my favorite defense games on newgrounds.
pros
--------
this game brings a whole new level to how to play a defense game.
game crafting is addicting and takes great concentration.
enemies are not the same every level or even every wave its a different type of monster or tactic that is needed to kill them.
this game brings a whole new level of difficulty to defense games. it has really simple levels for the beginners at first but then can step up to a level of difficulty for even the pros out there.
there is plenty of levels so this game can last awhile and even if you beat it, its a game your truly will wish to play again ( ive beaten it twice now and im gonna play again.)
this is a game you truly wish to challenge yourself with getting bit of xp that is possible in a level.
the skills add a bit of ease to the difficulty in certain levels and also add a bit of help earning the ultimate gems.
even the music unlike most games on newgrounds this music i could actually handle listening along with the sounds.
cons
----------------
this is pry the only problem i found with the game that i found an easy way around is the fact at how random the gems are when making them. this can get rather annoying when your betting the entire match on getting one certain gem.
conclusion
----------------
even with that small problem this game is great and it sure helped pass two hours of my life that i was willing to give up.
I tip my imaginary hat off to you and say you have truly made a great game here.
this is something that definitely deserves the front page and the 10/10 and 5/5 i give this. i really hope everyone enjoys this game as much as me and i hope to see more of your great works to come.
Almost perfect.
The only downside to this game is the difficulty once you get near the end. Regardless, I found this game very addicting, and I keep coming back for more of it. Even if my game wasn't saved, I would still come back just to beat it all over again. It is a great game, and breaks some of the walls of average tower defense style games. It is unique, and very enjoyable.
Great game
As a longtime fan of tower defense maps for starcraft/warcraft 3, I loved finding a flash version. My only gripe is that the last half is extremely easy from all the skills you gain. Maxing out the 3rd "starting gem" skill gives you 4x level 6 gems and 4x level 5 gems which let you blow through the first 20-30 waves without paying any attention. Dual gem mastery and pure gem mastery are never needed at the same time, pure gem is for hidden levels only where there's only a single gem type available but for normal levels it's always better to mix gems.
If anyone is stuck on the early stages just be sure to go back and get the glowing frame on as many levels as you can to level up more and get more skills.
Best Flash Game to Date???
Absolutely the most addicting flash game I've played. I don't go to newgrounds often because most of the games aren't anything special, but this game is the exception, being incredibly fun to play. These kind of games with are few and far between, I highly suggest playing it!
