About the Game
Forge. Combine. Survive.
At the heart of GemCraft is a deep gem-combining system. Forge magical gems, fuse them into higher ranks, and slot them into towers and traps to build devastating defenses. Manage your mana carefully, summon extra waves for greater rewards, and push your strategy further with every level.

Official update history
It was shift+click on the wave bar. It is now ctrl+click.
No longer be worried about accidentally sending all waves when dropping massive gem bombs to anger waves!

Hello Friends! Nobody reads these patch notes anyway, so we don't need to tell you what's changed, right?
Oh? You want to know anyway? Ok, ok.
Updated the delays on holding a hotkey to do Stuff. It is now 10 frames on the first instance, and then 1 frame afterwards. Speeeeeeeeeeeed. If you run into any issues from this, please post in Discussions!
Decreased number of particles spawned on Arcane Guardian locks unlocking so they stop turning into a black blob, in GemCraft 0
Decreased number of particles spawned on beacon bombs so they stop turning into a black blob, in GemCraft 0
Resolved a first-input issue on Labyrinth; hotkeys now work without having to interact with the level
Fixed a MacOS issue so that the game launches crisp and not blurry anymore
Fixed the level numbers in the GemCraft 0 lost amulets achievement descriptions so they are no longer off-by-one
Fixed the achievement icons for Labyrinth sometimes being the wrong image
And once again, we are asking for your reviews! If you made it this far in the patch notes and haven't reviewed the Collection yet, please consider doing so! You will make us very happy! We just reached 95% positive and y'all are amazing for that!
Thank you!

- Hold M for raising the mana poll now works again
- Hold N to keep sending the next wave now works again
- Hold X to keep refunding now works again (Labyrinth only)
- Shrines should no longer freeze the game in certain situations (Chapter 0 only)
Please keep reporting any issues in Discussions. Thank you!

Now it works with a slight forced delay. 10 frames initially to prevent accidental extra uses, then 2 frames for all subsequent instances. Lag should be gone, hotkey holding should work!
So this build does a few things:
- Removes the debug command, so it won't happen to anyone in the future
- Adds a button to the amulets screen of GemCraft 1 (bottom left); this button will revert your amulets (and steam achievements!) to their correct state, mostly. It'll remove amulets and achievements that you didn't rightly earn, and then check and award the ones that you did earn legit. There may be a few battle-specific amulets that you'll have to re-do. Again, apologies here. And if you want to keep the amulets and achievements... you don't HAVE to press the button. Nobody is forcing you.
Also, we hear you on the grind for 1 specific amulet in GemCraft 1. We've lowered the requirement for gems created amulets down to 500 / 1000 / 2000. This was 8000 for gold, previously (and it was 12,000 in the original games!)
More fixes coming next week! Thanks for enjoying and sharing all of your thoughts with us! I am once again asking for your review, as they help so much!
Enjoy,
