panGEMic

panGEMic is a simple single-screen platformer done in a ZX Spectrum style.

Collect all the gems through 25 stages, divided into four worlds, avoiding enemies and spikes as there are no means of attacking. Collecting all the gems in a stage before the strict timer runs out causes a large coin to drop which ends the stage when collected.

Touching an enemy or hazard will instantly kill the player and restart the stage, costing a life, but a few stages also spawn an extra live pickup with the coin. Let the timer run out and a special, hard to avoid, enemy will spawn and chase the player ruthlessly.

Like in many single-screen platformers, exiting the screen at any side will warp the player around to the other edge. Utilizing this is often necessary to finish the levels.
