Gems (Flightless)

Gems are pickups in the game Flightless.

Appearance
Gems appear as small, light blue, diamond shaped objects. They also appear to look like three dimensional diamonds, because there are dark and light sides of the gem, as well as a small circular point where all of the sides come together.

Game information
Gems are often scattered throughout the area of a certain section in the game. Sometimes they are placed in areas where the ducks can easily access them, such as near the ground. More often, however, dimaonds will be found in areas that are difficult or impossible to reach. In these scenarios, the magic laddermust be used to obtain the gem. Gems provide not only an "incentive", or challenge, for the player to keep moving throughout the game, but also as important pickups. For example, in order to access various areas, the player must collect a certain amount of gems. Only when that amount of gems is collected will a gate open, allowing the player to progress.
