Gem Master

Gem Master is a Chinese mobile-app esque point and click "match-3" style game where you're presented with a grid of gems and an AI opponent. By selecting a set of adjacent gems, you change your colour to that of those gems, and absorb adjacent gems of the same colour... this forms your "territory". The AI will do the same. The objective is to claim more territory than the AI, before all the territory is taken and the match ends. What fun. Surely the competitor that CS:GO needed all this time. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The very poor quality of this game puts it squarely on-par with ancient 1990's Flash/Java games, and given it's 2022 (and this was released not so far back in 2020), gamers and the industry expect and deserve better than this kind of low effort shovelware. Gem Master is over optimistically priced at $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

Don't look for a tutorial, there is none, but it's pretty easy to understand after a few parties. I love the idea of different AI, they should do such thing in a lot of games where it eventually becomes too easy. [EDIT] This problem have been addressed by the developper. The only problem I have so far is the fact the window doesn't keep the place where it was when you launch the game, which forces me to unlock my task bar to move the game from under it.

Fun little game, but really, REALLY needs a human vs human mode, whether that be hotseat (with this kind of game, steam's integrated remote play together would be sufficient, as it is turn-based) or some other form of netplay. There's potential for various strategies involving plotting paths where you try to predict your opponent's color change and blocking them off of it by nabbing that color at a critical time, as well as the usual space-grabbing and trapping strategies. No idea if the game would be all that deep, as the AIs can be figured out after a while and countered fairly effectively. With human opponents, this game could potentially be an engaging hidden gem, but currently it is still good for a short fun puzzly romp only. Price is adequate on a sale; with player vs player implemented, price might be entirely justified. Hope the dev adds it at some point.

游戏是好游戏 但是不能窗口化就难受
