I know several Dopers were waiting as impatiently as I was for this one. Kiss a couple of days good bye – we have [GemCraft Chapter 0](http://armorgames.com/play/3527/gemcraft-chapter-0)!

Whew, I’m glad you said that. I was enjoying it, but couldn’t get very far.

So, is the easier version still available?

It’s definitely harder at first, but after a few wins you’ll be able to go back to earlier levels and do some of the other missions that give you 3x exp. Once that happens, you can level up much quicker and apply those new skill points to make progressing much easier.

I like this one a lot, except for how addicting it is.
