For example, it takes about 4-6 grade 19s in a shrine to kill off a monster with 3 billion HP, so save yourself the trouble.

Get your amulets done early on in the battle.

Remember: Don't summon after round 160 or so.

Put a blue/purple trap before your YOL trap until you're comfortable that your YOL can kill anything (grade 20-21 or so).

The nice thing about this is that the max natural creep HP stays at 3.33 billion for the rest of the game. Do not summon after 160 or so, since the natural HP of the creeps quickly starts to climb to 3.33 billion. You make a huge profit by doing this, since the giants are worth so much per kill.

For me, it was 1 gem grade per 10 waves, so 1-10 is a grade 1 gem, 11-20 is grade 2, etc. The second key is to use Giants Only and summon as many as you can handle each wave while you're still setting up. You'll have to 8x-Amp a single tower for a while before you have a high enough gem, but once your YOL gem is about grade 12 or 13 you can put it in front of the entrance and instantly fill your mana bar with dead monsters.

The first key is to get a gem that is Yellow-Orange-Lime. I'll re-paste the mini-guide I posted on JIG here: It's not that hard once you have it set up right. There are news and things to talk about with GemCraft as well, I will give it a new blogpost tomorrow.I was one of the first people to beat endurance mode (level 1337) on Armor Games' leaderboards. Check out the game, and maybe the Strategy Guide for more tips. Temptation is a major element of the game too, you are presented with many options (the final deck has 150 instantly pursuable combos), many of them easy to take down, but clicking all the easy combos will lead you nowhere. Sure, it was not a two weeks’ intensive workshop, but the calendar doesn’t see the everyday time demanding activities, nor did I.īeing apathetic from the endlessly extending GCL project, I couldn’t resist the temptation to take a weekend (and then the rest of days needed) off and make this game. This small project showed how greatly I can underestimate the development time. Sounds simple to make, right? Well, it seemed to me so at least, no more than a weekend and it would be done I thought. That’s about all our game has in common with the two titles above, the final game we came up with, Reeelz, is a slot machine with 7 reeelz, and 150 combo cards you can achieve. And the slot machine scene gave me the starter push. A year ago I saw the card game Fluxx on the net and liked it so much I bought it over Amazon, and I wanted to make a game some day which contains figures (Fluxx calls them keepers) you can collect and combinations (or goals) you can achieve. It all started after I played Achievement Unlocked 2, and especially the slot machine on floor 3.

A little something you can have fun with while you wait for the next GemCraft, here is the game, called Reeelz, we have been working on in the last two weeks (about 40 total net working hours).
