📜️ "blabla" 📜️

Gem Drop X is a fast-paced puzzle game where it's your job to clear the screen of gems before they squash you! (You're at the bottom, they're at the top, and they keep coming!)

Gem Drop X was directly ported from the original GemDrop for the Atari 8-bit, which was based on "Magical Drop III" by SNK.

You grab gems (up to 10) of the same color and use them to knock more gems off the screen. Match 3 or more of the same color in a column and >BAM!< they explode! Any adjacent gems of the same color also explode, causing a chain reaction that might cover the entire screen!

The more gems that disappear with one shot, the higher the score you get!

📕 Description [fr]

Un Tetris Attack inspiré de GemDrop sur Atari 8 bits, par la Gem Drop X Team.

Gem Drop X est un Tetris Attack mono-joueur inspiré du jeu GemDrop pour Atari 8 bits : les joyaux descendent peu à peu et par lignes entières et vous devez les attraper, les rassembler (au mini par 3 et jusqu'à 10) puis les lancer pour les faire exploser avant qu'ils n'atteignent le bas de l'écran avant qu'ils ne vous écrasent !
Tout joyau identique percuté explose également, pouvant entrainer des réactions en chaînes.
Plus le nombre de joyaux éliminé simultanément est grand, plus vous marquez de points.
