Played your new Update. Gem system is a fine addition as is the idea of different paths, but I wish you could specialize and prepare for these paths a bit better.
For example, have one path be all mages and so you know that you should have a lot of magic/potion items or something like that.
Can I also ask for one subtle change at least while it is in development? Have all difficulty options available from the start. I'm playing on the web version and having to beat one run to enable more difficulties seems a bit silly to me. I say this primarely because the easy difficulty is really really easy.
