Gem Towers is easy to play but hard to master. See if you can get three stars on each level. Gem Towers is a physics based game that simulates collisions and gravity. The towers are constructed of gems which may vary in size and shape. Your goal is to break all green gems and to save as many red gems as possible.

かわいいモンスター達を制限時間内に４つ揃えて消せばゲームくりあ。 失敗するとりんごが無くなり、全部無くなるとゲームオーバー。 枠の中に同種類のモンスター４つを縦に揃えればモンスターが消えて制限時間が少しプラスになります。 全てのモンスターを消せばステージクリア、制限時間がポイントとして加算されます。 ポイントが1000を超えるとりんごが一個復活します。 りんごが０になればゲームオーバーです。 宝箱を消せば制限時間が大幅にプラスされるので、攻略の鍵になるでしょう。 ステージ数は100ですが、アップデートで追加予定です、楽しみにしていてください。
