haha thanks for trying. Yeah it's one of those decisions.. "do I, don't I" reset the gems collected hmmm.. I kind of liked the hardcore feel of losing all the gems. They're actually pretty simple to get. Maybe I feel that way because everytime I added a room, gem, etc, I started from the beginning each time. Even for me, that very last gem is a bit tricky though, but it's not necessary to get it...
Also, those caged gems.. there's a hidden button in each of those rooms You have to really use your eyeballs to see some of them :}
