Get the Gems, like the title said, collect all the gems in every level with various obstacles to beat the game. +Good concept and good level design. +Every levels give different challenges and very challenging. +5 Steam Trading Cards are available. +It's cheap, especially with discount coupon. -The sound really annoying for me. -The graphic could be better than current graphic. -Some stages are very hard, and to get the perfect game even more harder. Well if you like this kind of game, then you must try it. But actually this game isn't my type, so i don't like it. Still recommended: 5.5/10
It's a remake of the 1984 game Boulderdash :-) Very challenging 2D maze-puzzle game!
[h1] BOulder Dash clone with blob like character. Not so interesting so just skip it. [/h1]
This is a trip down memory lane when we used to play Boulder Dash on the C64 and Emerald Mine on the AMIGA 500 back in the days. Graphics and gameplay brilliantly convey the old-school atmosphere. [h1] RELOADED Patch 2022[/h1] The game has been completely remade. Everything has been reworked and improved. I'm completely hooked again XD 10/10 Would blow me up again to get those gems
IMPORTANT: This review was written for the older version of this game. the dev contacted me that a new version was made so if i have the time for, i will overwork this review and sure try the new version. As for now, again: this review was made for the OLD version! [h1]A very clunky Boulder Dash Clone...[/h1] Oh boy, after the ORIGINAL release from Boulder Dash on Steam failed for me in many ways, i saw this game which looked like a more "old school" Boulder Dash and i thought i give it a go, for not even 1 Buck, what could go wrong? [h1]It is Old School and its hard and i would love it if...[/h1] From the very first moment i kinda enjoyed it. It pretty much looks like a old School Boulder Dash and is also that kind of "hard" in the difficult. The problem i had with it are mostly 2 which makes it kinda not enjoyable, for me at least... I am a very big fan from the "original" Boulder Dash series beginning on the C64 back at 1984 and played a lot remakes, clones and like (look for my steam review here for the Boulder Dash Steam version if you dont trust me in that case...). This game here tried "hard" to come "as close as it could be" to the original Boulder Dash. The problem is that the controls are very very clunky. I know, a lot people would complain now and say "BUT BOULDER DASH WAS CLUNKY AND HAD A GRID MOVEMENT!". 1. I know that. 2. I mean not "clunky" by Boulder Dash standarts, this game has controls were the character dont act right. I often pressed ctrl + any movement button (the character should stay still and i only should be able to dig one gird next to me by doing this) to dig only a bit forward but the character still moved forward, i holded my ctrl button already so deep on my keyboard, [b]I nearly destroyed my left ctrl button.[/b] Next to this it feels not only very clunky, the character self is just...a..."blob"? I guess? I mean i like kinda everything from the "artstyle" of this game but why is the character you play a blob? I mean, come on, a little figur or something "like" Rockford would at least be nice but a simple blob? [h1]So is it worth it?[/h1] I hardly say, NO, for now. Its not like its to hard or to difficult (hey its old school hard and thats nice.) but if i srs nearly destroyed my left ctrl button only that the character does not react in the right way and i still move forward and normaly shouldnt, i can hardly recomment it. The controls should be more "fluent" to be honest, even for a simple Boulder Dash clone /- Standart. It gives a lot free Boulder Dash Clones out there which did it right with the controls, maybe you should take a look around. EDIT: Just to add this part, for me its not important how a game looks at least if i can see the effort or it doesnt hurt in the eyes or something like but it should have good controls which are in this case very very clunky.
Get the gems is self-explanatory from the title itself. Dig through various underground mazes to collect all the gems on the map. But, as you progress, there are more enemies, obstacles and other challenges added to it. It’s a very reactive puzzle game. You must act immediately and time your movements well in certain parts of the game. The simplistic 2D bit-art reminds me of the old, retro puzzle games from the early 2000s on websites like Miniclip, Pog, Armor games, etc. Movements and animations are also very basic, so don’t expect flashy, triple A graphics here. Though I noticed that the FPS on cave 23 gets very laggy, and the only way to resolve it was to change the graphics to the lowest settings. Regardless, I enjoyed Get the gems for what it’s worth; a short thrill ride on an old school puzzle maze games. Give it a try, you may enjoy it too.
i brought this game - soo far excellent but the line that sold this game "must be OLD to enjoy this" well you dont have to be old but if you are old enough to remember boulderdash and rockford then you will love this - this is a pretty good homage to this classic genre and so far it hasnt disappointed
玩法上比较常见的那种挖洞捡宝石类的游戏,需要注意躲避上方因为没有阻拦而掉落的石块 除此之外,还会有一些巡逻的敌人,同样不能被它们抓到 游戏本身不仅仅是依靠手速来达成目标,有些路口可能需要少量的思考、避免随意挖掘造成死路 总体来说没有必要特意入手,基本上算个中评
If you've already enjoyed Boulder Dash, rest assured that this is a very polished and playable variation on those mechanics. This is clearly made by someone who understands the appeal of Boulder Dash. If you are not a Boulder Dash player (and maybe even if you are), you're getting into hours of frustration and grinding in a real-time puzzle game that will kill you over and over again for your slightest mistakes, but therefore also reward you with a huge sense of accomplishment when you figure out a solution and nail its execution.
Highly recommend this game, if you remember boulder dash this is almost the same as it, the game play is fun and fast The controls are good as easy to pick up If you played spectrum games or retro games you'll love this game
