Reviews for "Gem-Rush"

Good, but would benefit from non-liner gravity.

Good, but I think some gravational madness would help make things more fun.

Luck required :(

Why have a walk through if the results are impossible to duplicate? Pure luck on the later levels. Needs some powerups or something.

Bleh

I liked the concept, but there are two MASSIVE shortcomings.

The first is the cannon. The only way to get a reliable shot is to max out the power, which is not fun; it's mindless.

The second is the gravity. Everything moves as if the gravity is VERY high (which makes the cannon not very fun to shoot) and let's be honest, your shots shouldn't lose that much momentum when you hit a star. The "realistic" physics you were so proud of fell a bit short here.

I also REALLY hate the fact that there are no persistent border walls to bounce a shot off of. I chose not to deduct stars for that since I'm lucky if the shot makes it from one side of the map to the other anyway.

Aside from looking pretty, I really can't say much good about it. It was fun for 30 seconds, then it got to be a chore.

Everything feels HEAVY

Everything in this game feel like it weigth a ton each. Your cannon doesn't shoot far unless at full power, and still it's not really satisfying. The second your ball touch a Gem, it stops completely. Inertia? Unless thos diamonds actually weigth ten tons. And finally those bumpers... well didn't bump the way you expect them to... So the gameplay need works. I was doing fine but on the trickier levels I got frustrated and give up.

Good graphics, excelent choice of music. Little bit laggy sometimes.

Very fun

This game seems to be getting some bad reviews which I don't understand why. It's really challenging and addictive to try and beat all twenty levels. Add that to the really nice physics, calm music, and great level design and I don't understand why it's so low.

The game works, and it works well. Maybe some people just don't like it because it's similar to other games? Hello? What flash game ISN'T copying another game in some way or another? Rather than trying to judge it on originality judge it on how fun it is and smooth it flows. This is why I gave it a ten.
