How to play Gem Grab

Gem Grab is a realtime chase on an 18×12 arena. One gem appears at a time, and both players race to touch it first. Rounds are short and fast, so it is a good pick for a quick break.

Rules

Each player keeps moving in their current direction. Reach the gem and you score a point, and a new gem appears somewhere else on the board. The walls stop you rather than wrapping around, and the two runners pass through each other, so it is all about choosing the shortest route. The first player to collect 8 gems wins.

Controls

Steer with the arrow keys or WASD, or the on-screen direction buttons on touch screens. You keep moving until you change direction.

Tips

Move towards the centre after each pick-up so you are close to wherever the next gem appears. Turning early is better than overshooting, because you keep moving until you change direction.

Gem Grab FAQ

How many gems do I need to win?

Eight.

Can I block the other player?

No. Runners pass through each other, so the only way to win a gem is to get there first.

Do the edges wrap around?

No. Moving into a wall simply stops you at the edge.
