Hey guys, I originally started to play GoW as research for a tactical match 3 RPG I am developing. I think this game has some cool mechanics, and I especially enjoy the treasure hunting mini game (even though maps are a waist of glory and the rewards are not that great). So as a little side project I recreated the mini-game so that I don’t have to spend my precious glory to play it. I made this mostly for my own amusement and to practice my programming skills, but what the heck, maybe some of you guys might enjoy it to. This is just a prototype so the graphics and animations are super simple, but if enough people enjoy it, I might make a new version with some effects, animations and better interface. Off course you won’t get any keys or gold for playing it, but it does give you hi-score when you are done, based on the values of the gems on your board.

Ok, I tried it, it feels more “generous” than the actual treasure hunt (at least, I felt like it lasted quite a while). ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/1X/a71e45dfc191216a74efeda9b077bbd1bc75f5ee.PNG) If you want to explore a lot of different match-3 games, I suggest you check out Bejeweled, which is probably the best one out there and has a LOT of various modes. ---

I managed to score: 23977 Good job on the coding. ---

Thanks for the comments. I have logget more than 50 hours in to Bejeweled 3 ^^ I get easily addicted to good match-3 games, so the idea behind the game i am working on is to take all the best elements from the best match-3 games out there and mash them together to something new. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from games like Puzzle&Dragons, Puzzle Quest, Puzzle Kingdoms, Bejeweled, Gems of War, and even Huniepop. Hopefully it won’t take to much longer until i have something that is ready to show to people. ---

When you say Puzzle Kingdoms do you mean this one? > **[Puzzle Kingdoms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_Kingdoms)** > > Puzzle Kingdoms is a puzzle video game developed by Infinite Interactive for PC, Nintendo DS and Wii. The PC version is available to download online through services such as IGN's Direct2Drive and Steam. > Like Infinite Interactive's previous game Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, Puzzle Kingdom relies on a core combat mechanic similar to Bejeweled, though this offering incorporates turn-based strategy elements as well. Puzzle Kingdom also shares the same game universe as Puzzle Quest, the ... ---

> [@Nimhain](#): > > When you say Puzzle Kingdoms do you mean this one? > [Puzzle Kingdoms - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_Kingdoms) looks like i miss-remembered, i was actually thinking of Puzzle Craft. Puzzle Kingdoms kinda sucked(sorry to everyone Infinite Interactive). I just started playing Puzzle Craft 2 and it’s super addictive, just like the first one. ---
