Gem Jam! Collect Gems! Maximum Profit!!

You are a dwarf delving deep for riches! But watch out there be critters that also want your jewels! Will you succeed in your quest to have the most???

The deeper you dig the more chance valuable gems spawn, but more enemies do as well!

i love the title screen sound. man i wish i could afford an upgrade before 1000 gems. it takes too long to get 1000 gems! i want to see how the game progresses. the sprites could be better but the feel of the game is good. i like how the gems go up into the bag, and it does inch towards that vamp survivors feeling of addiction

Quite a nostalgic and fun game concept.
The gems going into the bag and falling out of your bag was a nice feedback loop.
Did not get to the 1000, I thought going deeper would give more valuable gems, but that didn't seem like the case, just more enemies.

@strong99 More valuable gems have a chance spawn the lower you go, it's just not very generous at the moment. I added the Gem values to the post "Green = 1 Blue = 5 Red = 20 Silver = 50 Gold = 100" it can help to ignore the lower values
