## What is Gemfire?

Match gems. Fuel your turrets. Hold the line.

Raiders are walking down the hill, and the only thing between them and your wards is the gem board in front of you. Every match feeds the turret of that color and a turret only ever fires at its own color. Match red and your red gun answers. Which colour you match is the whole decision.

A GEM BOARD THAT SHOOTS BACK
It is match 3, but every move lands on a battlefield. Cascades pour fuel into your line. Charms turn up rarely on ordinary gems and break the rules for a move: a prism that joins a run of any color, a lance that takes a whole row and column, a stormglass that makes your entire line fire at once.

BUILD THE LINE YOU WANT
Twenty turrets. Each one is bought for a single color, and you field four at a time. Chains, frost, stuns, splash - pick what your line is missing, then upgrade each seat to five stars. Your four are yours.

UNIQUE BOSSES, AND EACH ONE TAKES SOMETHING DIFFERENT
None of them is just a bigger raider. One burns your fuel to nothing and leaves you in the dark. One eats the cogs and live bombs you have not picked up yet. One raises everything you already killed. Two per chapter, and you never meet the same fight twice.

MANY CHAPTERS, AND A LANE THAT NEVER ENDS
Four chapters of ten, each with a cast of its own - insects, brood, skeletons. Then Endless Watch, where the waves keep coming and the only score is how far you got.

NO FORCED ADS. NOT ONE.
No interstitial between levels. Nothing that plays because you finished something. Every ad in Gemfire is one you chose to watch, and it pays you for it.
