Project :: Jewel Mine
Jewel Mine is a simple game written in C# with Unity. It is reminiscent of Columns on the Sega GameGear. It was written as an exercise to flex skills, try my hand at a small game and learn some Unity. It is a port of the original JewelMine game to Unity. This version uses the engine from the original game (written in C# with Windows Forms) largely intact.

How to Win
You win by either clearing all jewels in the mine (which is very hard to do) or by scoring enough points from forming groups of like jewels to beat the last level of the game. To form a group of jewels you must have at least 3 like jewels in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. Other jewels in the vicinity will also be pulled into the group, but at least 3 must be in a line. You will receive more points for a group based on a diagonal line of 3 or more than vertical or horizontal. As the level increases, some parameters of the game logic are tweaked, most noticeably is the speed.Number of Levels by Difficulty
- Easy : 255 levels
- Moderate : 500 levels
- Hard : 1000 levels
- Impossible : 10000 levels
