About

Place blocks, clear lines. Gems multiply your score. Collect and upgrade them. That third line is what makes Gemz different from other block puzzles. THE BOARD Drop pieces onto an 8x8 grid and complete a row or a column to clear it. Nothing falls on its own, nothing is timed. Every move is yours to think about. GEMS ARE THE SCORE A line carrying gems is worth far more than an empty one, and clearing several lines in one move multiplies it again. Keep clearing on consecutive moves and the combo climbs. Every scoring move also fills the golden frame around the board: once it is full, your next move is worth ×10. The huge scores come from setting them up, not from luck. THE COLLECTION IS YOUR BUILD Dozens of stones to find across eight rarities, from common rock crystal to Martian meteorite. Duplicates raise a gem's level, and enough levels change its shape: rough, then polished, then faceted. Every shape is a different 3D stone, and a bigger multiplier. Only the gems you carry fall on your board. Your mix starts at three slots and widens as you rank up, so choosing what to bring is the real decision. ALSO INSIDE - 200 handmade levels with up to 5 stars each, then the Champion's League - A weekly tournament across five divisions, Rookie to Elite - The Events page: a challenge of the day and monthly events, each with its own rewards - The Meteor Shower, one weekend a month: meteorites crash onto your board, and you crack them open for rare gems - Daily missions, chests to open, and a shop that turns over every day - Plays offline, in portrait, one-handed Free to play.
