  If you've ever mashed a pause button mid-wave, waited out a skill-point mistake because there was no way to undo it, or watched your framerate crawl the second the screen filled with enemies, I feel like this post is going to make you rather happy.When we set out to bring GemCraft, GemCraft: Chapter Zero, and GemCraft: Labyrinth into one collection, the goal was never "just make them run." It was "make them feel like the games you remember, minus everything that used to make you sigh." Somewhere along the way that turned into an enormous list of fixes, tweaks, and long-overdue upgrades. This post is Part One: The Quality-of-Life Pass; every hotkey, speed tweak, and performance fix we made so the moment-to-moment feel of playing is just better. Here's the rundown, organized so you can actually skim it, because we know it’s a big list:Speed control that doesn't fight youFast-forward now g…
