INTRODUCTION

You are Rubin, a brave knight, and you have to save the princess Esmeralda kidnapped by her evil sister Zirconia, unfortunatly Zirconia has casted on you an evil spell and now you have to escape from the GEMZ dimension in order to free Esmeralda otherwise Zirconia will transform her into a diamond statue to claim the GemLand throne owned by Esmeralda.

You have to solve a number of puzzles to escape from the GEMZ dimension.

There are five available difficulties:

  • Easy (16 levels)
  • Normal (36 levels)
  • Hard (49 levels)
  • Insane (81 levels)
  • Madness (169 levels)

The difficulty is determined by the grid matrix size and by the number of gem colors available, the background graphics is tuned by the difficulty level you set, more higher is the difficulty level and more and better background pictures you will see.

For the easy level, for example, you will see only blurred and grey scale images during the game play.

HOW TO PLAY

Playing GEMZ is simple, it only has three rules:

RULE 1

You can only move gems that can collide with other gems in the play field

GEMZ Rule 1

RULE 2

If two or more gems with the same color collide they will explode

GEMZ Rule 2

RULE 3

You will clear the level clearing all gems from the play field

Each time you start a level you will get some time to solve it, this time increases for higher levels. If you complete the level before the time ends, the remaining seconds will be transformed into points otherwise the game will start to steal your points until you complete the game or until your points reaches zero. The stolen points for each missing seconds depends on the difficulty and the current level you are playing (higher levels means higher stolen points).

When the game ends, and you have got a good score, you will be prompted to insert your name to enter the high score, even if you have quited the game from the pause menu.

The little square at the bottom of the play field will let you enter the pause screen, keep in mind that every time you enter the pause screen one second will be subtracted from the actual time.
From this screen you can resume the game or quit it.

The levels are generated randomly this means that each game will be different from the previous one!

      I think that the next version will be very smooth on all systems because I’m going to use OpenGL 🙂
      If you want to gain some FPS on AmigaOS there are some tuning you can do on the configuration files, if you are interested please ask for them on the support forum:
      http://support.a-mc.biz/
      There is a section dedicated to G.E.M.Z. here -> http://support.a-mc.biz/categories/g-e-m-z-

      Thank you for your feedback!
