The Gem Collector

About

You play as Nomi, a gem hunter navigating 21 levels of platforming and puzzles. The game mixes running, jumping, and combat with environmental challenges, all while collecting scattered gems. A co-op mode lets a second player join at any time, sharing the workload for puzzles or fending off enemies together. The controls feel responsive and the levels steadily increase in complexity, balancing action with brain teasers. The Gem Collector stands out for its smooth co-op integration and dense collectible count. Hundreds of hidden items spread across the levels keep exploration rewarding, and the sidekick mechanic avoids passive participation. While community feedback is mixed on later level difficulty spikes, the game remains a solid pick for fans of classic 2D platformers with puzzle elements. The 2013 release holds up for its tight design and replay value.
