same problem

I never did find anything but I did get it. All I can say is if you play long enough you get lucky enough and get it. Just glad I 100% the game, thought for ages I wouldn't.

it's not good when games need "only luck" to get 100% and past 3 hour of play i think its only luck needed, as i say it's no good

Wait, bogemic, you're the developer and you're saying "same problem"? What does that mean?

lmfao, for real though.

You don't need luck. I finished this in 15 minutes on the first playthrough.

The strategy is always keep your biggest gem in one corner - for me I choose bottom right. Then, number one rule is, as far as possible, NEVER move upwards. You only want to use left, right and down. You want all of the new gems that appear (the round ones) to be above the line of big gems that you are making.

Eventually, along the bottom, you build up in size. So, for example, if my biggest gem is the first brilliant, I'll arrange like this:

- | | | | |
- | | | | |
- | Perfect emerald| Star emerald | Square emerald |---------------------- |
- | Regular ruby ---| Perfect Ruby | Royal ruby -------| Regular Brilliant |

Then once you get a second square emerald in that rightmost spot on the second bottom row, you can combine that with the square emerald next to it, then the star emerald with the star emerald next to it, and so on all the way around until you turn the regular brilliants into a royal brilliant. Then you start building up again, always keeping the new royal brilliant in the bottom right slot.

Or to put it another way, from biggest to smallest, I'll keep them in order like this in the grid:

-
-
- ---------------->Smallest
- ^<--------------Biggest

The top two rows are blank in these diagrams because you don't need to go beyond two rows of building up to get the Perfect Brilliant.

So, to put it simply, the moves I do mostly are DOWN and RIGHT. They are the safe ones, because then my biggest gem stays in the bottom right.
When I can't move down or right, I'll move LEFT. This is a safe move when the bottom row is completely filled (and doesn't have two of the same next to each other), as then it means moving left will still leave your biggest gem in the bottom right slot.
I will never move UP unless there is no other move.

Hope that helps! It's a bit hard to describe in a post.

Wow thanks, Nats. Never got this far. Almost reached the royal brilliant.

up, right, down , left
