BioGems is a match-3 space pet battle game.

Each type of gem has a different effect in the battle when matched. Some will attack the opponent, some will put up defenses or heal you. You can also charge up a Rage meter with the fire gems to unleash a super powerful attack. Collecting rubies will let you buy upgrades between battles and make your way through the world map, defeating the enemy pet invaders.

It's a Flash game that should be available soonish, we're trying to put it out there ASAP! We're a small team of 5 making indie games for MochiGames and BioGems is our first release, coming real soon!

I was about to post on your blog, to post this onto TIGS!

I remember seeing the art for this multiple times, and being curious as to where you were taking it... and this is definitely an interesting route! Your artwork is as stunning as ever.

Thanks guys! I'm definitely back, and this time I've got a whole team backing me and my game design - programmer, manager, sound, animator... And money for doing it! Does that mean I'm not indie anymore?  :biglaff: I'm still working on the previous projects, too, but on a longer timeline.

Back on topic, here's the World Map for BioGems! The player starts at the bottom, in the village, and makes his way up the path of enemies to the spaceship at the top.

Oh and I decided to NOT show it tonight...  :facepalm:
I'll wait for a version with sound and music in, that'll be more entertaining for you guys. So next month, I guess. The game will be final by then, so it'll also be more fun to play, with all the characters and all that.

I'll be showing BioGems at the Montreal Indie Meet-Up on wednesday! We still have a few things to tweak but we're really 98% done! I'm working on some sort of trailer too, hopefully it'll create some hype for the release.

AMAZING!

Please make the black shape at the top of the map a secret final enemy.

Oh man, we're SO CLOSE to a release! We're crushing little bugs here and there at the moment, after adding in a bunch of Achievements (a new feature and API at MochiGames). I'll have a release date REAL SOON.

Oh Dom2D, your games are always so wonderful.
I'll edit with feedback.
Edit: Very cool game, it's full of personality, as with all of your games :)

Wow. Just tried this. It's fantastic! Once I get through it I'll probably have more to say, but so far I feel the need to tell as many people as possible about this game right now

Nice game! At first it seemed too simple, but after getting stuck on level 3 I realized that there is some strategy to it. The art, music and atmosphere are fantastic. Keep it up!
