About the Game
Bejeweled 3 returns to the traditional match three formula after the slightly different spin off Bejeweled Twist . As in previous games, players are presented with a board filled with gems of different colours. The aim of the game is to remove gems from the board by swapping adjacent gems so that a chain of three or more gems is created. New gems will then be generated at the top of the screen and fall down in the empty spaces.
Story & Setting
The game has four game modes: classic, zen, lightning, and quest. The quest mode consists of a number of challenges. There are also four additional secret modes that are extended versions of quest mode challenges.
Gameplay & Core Systems
New in Bejeweled 3 is that players can continue swapping gems during a chain reaction. It is untimed and ends when no further moves are possible. Here players can turn on various audio-visual effects. players have to activate relics and each challenge corresponds to a relic. In poker mode, players have to make poker hands with gem matches.
Standout Features
- This can lead to a chain reaction when gems fall down and create new matches.
- A match of five gems will create a hypercube which can be matched with any adjacent gem and then destroy all gems of that colour.
- By doing so gold coins, artifacts and diamonds can be mined from the rock.
- It has only two game modes however, classic and speed (the latter identical to lightning), with the same power-ups.
- The butterflies mode has special butterfly gems that move up from the bottom.
- In the ice storm mode, ice moves up the board and players have to make matches to knock it down again.
- players have to dig through it by matching gems that are adjacent to it.
- HTML5: The browser version is made using HTML5 and runs through Google's Native Client.
Modes & Ways to Play
The zen mode is meant for relaxation and has no end. Lightning is a timed mode and ends when the time is out. In the diamond mine mode the lower part of the playing field is filled with rocks. There are two graphics modes, for faster and slower machines.
Presentation & Atmosphere
These are breath modulation, ambient sounds, mantras and binaural beats.
