Gem Fall is a vertical survival descent roguelite mixing arcade movement with deep RPG customization. Plunge down a shifting, hazard-filled shaft while dodging spikes and falling rocks. Draft powerful artifacts in Ancient Vaults, unlock a permanent 18-node skill tree via the Dragon Pact, and enchant gear in the Codex for deeper runs. Easy to learn, impossible to master. How deep can you fall?
