Gem Smashers
SCORE: 89
Gem Smashers is a fun little Nintendo 3DS
title from Red Wagon Games that has some unique aspects to it. There are
three selectable characters who have differing attributes. They start a
certain color and can change by hitting certain items. There are death
blocks that will end your run. Re-spawning is not an issue though.
The 3D effects in Gem Smashers are okay. The graphics are bright and
colorful. I like the three different animal characters in Gem Smashers.
One looks like a hedgehog, another like a crab, and the final one like a
chick (baby chicken). Certain blocks can be destroyed by bumping into
them. Gem Smashers is a fast paced game. I had to learn how to get
through certain areas without hitting certain blocks.
The music in Gem Smashers is wonderful. From the action packed levels to
the main menus. I enjoyed listening to the music all over this game. The
sound effects generally add to this dimension as well. I was not fond of
hitting the locked door. But that was about the only sound that bothered
me. The story revolves around a scientist trying to steal the earth's
energy.
There are over one hundred levels in Gem Smashers across eight different
worlds. Each world has a specific theme. Two players can compete in Gem
Smashers to see who has mastered the game. The price of Gem Smashers is
reasonable for a Nintendo 3DS title. I can see fans of puzzle games and
action games enjoying Gem Smashers.
The game play in Gem Smashers is a nice mixture. I learned very quickly
how to complete levels. I found myself enjoying Gem Smashers way more
than I thought I would. The only down side is there seems to be
unlimited continues. This means levels can be beaten eventually. Still
this alleviates the frustration factor of so many other games.
The controls in Gem Smashers are generally buttons. There are touch
screen controls on the main menus but no more after that. I ran into no
issues controlling Gem Smashers. Color matching is one of the lessons in
Gem Smashers. Family members can also learn to plan out their actions to
achieve the desired results.
