Gem Drop

Gem Drop hands you control of the gem itself instead of a launcher aiming at it, which sounds minor but changes the whole feel - you are the thing bouncing off walls, not the thing throwing it. Each cave is a tangle of ledges and barriers between you and the crate, and most of them are placed so the direct line is the wrong one.

Ricochets are the real tool here. A wall that looks like it is blocking your shot is often the exact angle you need, and the game gets noticeably harder once it starts asking for two or three bounces instead of one. Collecting three gems before dropping lets you refine your aim across several attempts instead of committing everything to a single risky throw.

How to play

Move the gem left and right, then let go to drop it toward the crate, using walls and ledges to ricochet around obstacles that block a straight shot. Collect three gems in a level before you need to land the final drop, which gives you room to test an angle without losing the attempt. Later levels stack obstacles tightly, so a shot that bounces twice is often safer than one aimed to land in a single arc.

Controls

A or D, Left or Right Arrow, or touch and drag to move the gem side to side. Space bar or release your touch to drop it toward the crate.
