    The gameplay is praised for its innovative gems mechanic and the introduction of a water tile feature that adds complexity to maze-building, enhancing the overall experience. While the user interface is functional, there is room for improvement in user comfort. The game offers a rewarding experience with a variety of maps and enemy designs, though some players may find the randomness in tower selection and gem combinations less appealing. Overall, it delivers a solid tower defense experience reminiscent of classic gem tower defense games.

    • “Love the gems mechanic and its gameplay modes.”
    • “Secondly, the dev here has put an excellent twist on the gem TD formula with the water mechanic and an increase in line of sight/line of effect/wall ricochet gems.”
    • “The price tag almost scared me away, but I believe the full price for the game is very fair for just how rewarding the gameplay feels.”
    • “Ui works just fine, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved to increase the 'comfort' side of it during gameplay (ux side).”
    • “Design for enemies and gems/general gameplay design: flying and stealth enemies are a challenge, but don’t completely break the rules of the game.”
    • “The end result of the fairly simple water tile mechanic is a delicious level of mazing complexity.”
  • replayability
