Our take on Get The Gems
Digging is the defining detail: movement through each abandoned mine involves opening paths while boulders, enemies and nitro bubbles create hazards around gem collection.
What is Get The Gems?
Play as Fluffy, a slimeball trapped in an abandoned mine beneath the earth.
Dig through caves, collect gems, avoid falling boulders and enemies, and explode nitro bubbles while searching for a way back to the surface. The reloaded version includes Campaign and Practice modes, automatic progress saving, unlimited lives, and controls revised from the earlier version. Practice Mode can deactivate the time limit, and unlocked caves can be replayed. The game also includes revised cave layouts, enemy pathfinding, graphics, sound, menus, achievements, statistics and animations. It supports OpenGL and Vulkan, uses the desktop resolution during play, and keeps tiles square regardless of resolution.
