Planning is everything when it comes to Gem Miner, although this isn’t clear right from the get-go. Once you dive deeper into the game, however, you’ll soon realize that without a well thought-out strategy you’re not going to get very far.
You play the role of a mine digger who’s on the prowl for buried treasure. In order to find the goods you have to develop and expand your mine, which isn’t as easy as you might think. Rocks will come crashing down and cause parts of the mine to collapse if you don’t secure the areas immediately. Furthermore, you have to make sure to always have enough material on you – ladders and supporting pillars, for instance –, otherwise you risk getting caught in a trap you’ve more or less dug yourself and not be able to get back out of it.
If you do find treasures you can sell them at a warehouse. Use the money you earn to buy new equipment and tools that will help you in your endeavors: flashlights, backpacks, ladders, new hooks, and so on and so forth. The longer you play the more you will come to realize just how important having a good strategy and being able to plan ahead really are.
There are three different levels to choose from:
• Easy
• Medium
• Hard
If you’re playing the lite version only the first level is available, so you’ll have to purchase the full version if you want to try out the other levels.
Bottom line:
I’m really enjoying this game. It makes you think, it makes you come up with strategies, it’s entertaining and hence you can play for hours on end. The easy level is perfect for getting to know the game and sussing out the different functions and gameplay. That being said, the easy level gets a bit old pretty quickly, so if you like the game I recommend buying the full version.
