Pop the gems. Fill the chests. Clear the mine. Gemlode is a satisfying gem-sorting puzzle. Rocks are piled across the cave floor with sparkling gems set into them. Tap a gem to pry it out and it flies into the treasure chest of the same color. Fill a chest and the next one rolls in. But watch your gem pouch. Gems with no matching chest wait in the pouch, and when it fills up, the level is over. Every rock you empty crumbles away and frees the gems underneath, so the order you play in matters. HOW TO PLAY - Tap a free gem to pry it out of the rock - Matching gems go straight into their chest - Everything else waits in your gem pouch - Collect every gem without filling the pouch to win FEATURES - 150 levels across 15 mines in four worlds: Crystal Cave, Gold Mine, Ice Cavern and Lava Depths - A boss level at the end of every mine - Every level is guaranteed solvable - Earn up to 3 stars per level. Finish without boosters for a perfect clear - Boosters when you need them: Undo, Hint and +1 Slot - Smart hints that show you the next winning move - Daily crates and streak rewards - Color-blind friendly: every gem color has its own cut - Play offline, anytime GEMLODE VIP Get unlimited lives, no ads and free boosters every day with a VIP subscription.
