A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around GemCraft Lost Chapter : Labyrinth is anything but tiny. Games resembling checkers were being played thousands of years ago; evidence of related games reaches back to around 1600 BC. And then there is this: Spacewar! appeared on MIT's PDP-1 in 1962 and became one of the earliest influential computer games shared among programmers. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at GemCraft Lost Chapter : Labyrinth feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
