Forums → Games → Gemcraft chasing shadows level breaking bug

Good day, today while playing gemcraft chasing shadows I found a rather frustrating bug that makes the game get stuck on pause. If the forgotten shows up and blacks out your interface while your game is on 0x speed (pause) it will get stuck on 0x speed forever as even the shortcut for speeding up the game (space and Q) gets disabled, this means you're forced to forfeit the level and this is very frustrating on endurance

There is another issue with the performance. You did a great job optimizing the game and it runs very fast for a flash game however, if you place a lv 30+ gem in a trap that has a red gem, the chain hit will cause the game to freeze for a few seconds and in case of many enemies the game will freeze for so long that flashplayer just shuts down

I suggest that instead of calculating a hit 300.000x times that if there's more than 100 hits just average the specials like critical hit damage and multiply the damage by the number of hits instead of looping until the game crashes
