Gemdropx - Pull gems down and throw them back to make matches
A fast-action puzzle game based on the Neo Geo
game "Magical Drop III" by SNK. A random collection of gems appear at
the top of the screen. Move your character left and right, and grab
gems from the top. Throw them back to make matches of three or more,
and they disappear. Large chain-reactions can occur. Special pieces
help (or hinder) you.
As time progresses, more gems appear at the top, pushing the rest
down. If the screen fills up, you lose. Later levels include more
types of pieces, making the game much more difficult. Based directly
on the Action! language source code to "Gem Drop" for the Atari 8-bit
computer.
