Game Instructions:
Goal: Defend the Star Babies using gem towers!
Every round you dig up 5 gems, and choose one of them to keep. The picked gem will attack enemies.
The gems not picked turn into rocks which the enemies have to move around.
Create a twisting maze for the enemies to follow. They must visit each of the 4 mine carts in order. Use this to your advantage.
Note: If you mess up don't worry. Click the re-pick button (*once per round max)
Note: The last gem you picked may be moved around by dragging it. Rocks may also be removed.
