Gemhun is a puzzle game where players group and clear gems and stones. The objective is to remove as many as possible from the playing field.
The game offers various game modes to cater to a variety of preferences, including network play and different themes to enhance the overall gaming experience. Gemhun is heavily inspired by other popular games like Frozen Bubble and Tetris.
The software has some mandatory requirements that must be met before installation, including Kyra Sprite Engine, ncurses, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, Simple DirectMedia Layer, and Mesa, while SDL_net is recommended.
In the latest release, the developer has added a winxp build, compiled with sdl 1.2.6, opengl, and kyra 2.0.7. If you're using the winxp build, you no longer need to download kyra. Instead, unpack the GemHunters-x86-win32-20040529.zip and GemHunters-data-20040529.tar.gz into a new directory.
To use pax, download and unpack it into the GemHunters-data/pax/ directory or $APPDATA/GemHunters/pax/ directory. It's essential to avoid throwing away any subdirectories, or the software won't function correctly.
Overall, Gemhun provides a fun and challenging gaming experience that's sure to keep you engaged for hours. Give it a try and good luck!
