Resource Gatherer

Collect sparkling blue gems across a sunny meadow and haul them back to base. Bigger loads score far more but slow you down, and rolling mines make you drop everything.

Resource Gatherer is a cheerful collecting arcade game about greed and timing. You run a little gatherer around a sunny meadow, scooping up blue gems and carrying them back to your wooden base. One gem at a time is safe, but the real points come from big loads, because each delivery pays more per gem the more you bring in at once.

The catch is weight. Every gem in your bag slows you down, and a full bag holds eight. Spiked mines roll around the field and bounce off the edges, and touching one costs a life and makes you drop your whole load across the grass. A new mine joins the field every twelve seconds, so the meadow gets busier the longer you last, while fresh gems keep popping up away from the base. Three hits and the game is over.

This casual high-score game is easy to pick up for players of any age and works with a keyboard, a mouse or a finger on a phone. It is a short, relaxed challenge with just enough risk to stay tense. Tip: deliveries of six or more gems earn a big haul bonus, so plan a loop that keeps you clear of the mines on the way home.

How to play

Walk over blue gems to pick them up, then bring them to the base in the middle to score. The more gems you deliver at once, the more each one is worth, but a heavier bag makes you slower. Touching a rolling mine costs a life and drops your load. The game ends when all three lives are gone.
