Gemstone Dredging
Minor bug fixes
Gemstone Dredging » Devlog
I fixed the bug where you could find a kraken tile on your first tile. Kraken tiles will now only be created after opening your first tile. There still is a possibility that you could trigger a 4+ battle though. I also added more sound effects to the battle screen.

I can't open the Tutorial. I press Z and the button twitches but nothing else.
Hi. Thanks for trying my game though! I am busy sorting out the tutorial. Unfortunately I didn't have time to implement it fully.
What do you need help with?
I think I figured out most things, like how the different colour gems manage things but it's the nuances I need help with now. I won't spam the comments (unless you want me to).
Well I'll gladly answer any questions.
Isn't there a way to turn off the Tutorial prompt?
Off the top of my head:
How do I avoid 4 blocks? Not clearing space as quickly as possible goes against every Minesweeper instinct.
What do the red gems do exactly?
Do the targets in battle work like Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi?
I didn't include a skip the tutorial feature. I am running low on tokens so I am not sure how much I can still fit in.
1) To avoid a 4+ battle it checks to see if there are the appropriate tiles flagged around it. If the Kraken tiles are flagged the 4+ warning does not trigger.
2) I have been told about the void clearing. I opted not to do this as the game screen is only an 8x8 grid so I thought it would be too easy to empty a flood of tiles.
3) Red gems double your attack strength
4) The targets are just visual aids on whose turn it is.
