Playing GEMBOT straightforward is fun, but not all points are good points!

The Key to the Top of the Leaderboard is squeezing as many Points out of each Gem as possible through planning future scoring opportunities instead of taking an easy 2-3 points immediately. 

Consider this:

While Matching 3 Same-Colored Gems will Score 3 (6 including Stars), lining up a Row of 5 will net 18 Match points (3 Matches scoring 3, 6 & 9 respectively) + 9 Stars (1 for each Gem involved in each Match) for a total of 27 Points.

In this Scenario, each Gem is worth 5.4 points while a lone Match of 3 will value each Gem at only 2 points a piece.

Now, if all Gems in the Row are also in Sequential order, 3 Runs would now be in play Scoring an additional 27 Points!

Keep the above in mind during play; And, keep an eye on the # of Gems yet to be played (and the Colors they might be).

When the game is nearing its end, then is the time to grab whatever Points you can by taking whatever opportunities you've left for yourself; The Final Rungs @ the Top of the Ladder!

I'll see you in the Skies!
