When it reaches zero, the Time Bomb self-destructs, and destroys the 8 surrounding gems, similar to a Power Gem. A Bomb has a counter displaying on top of it that decreases it's number every time a match is made. Rocks cannot be matched and must be destroyed with a Power Gem or a Hyper Cube. When 5 gems or more are lined up in a row, a Hyper Cube is created, that can destroy all the gems of it's color present on the board when swapped.Įxclusive to the Puzzle, Cognito and Finity modes of the game are Rocks and Bombs. Power Gem detonations can trigger the effects of nearby Power Gems as well, and can destroy Hyper Cubes without triggering it's effects. When 4 gems are lined up in a row or when gems are lined up in a L, T or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the 9 gems that surround it when matched. When more than 3 gems are matched at once, the matched gems will merge to create a special gem that can destroy multiple gems at once. One of the major additions to Bejeweled 2 is the introduction of Special Gems. When a group of gems are cleared, more gems fall from above, which can produce cascades as they create matches of their own, earning extra points. ).As with the original Bejeweled, the game is focused on arranging gems into lines of 3 or more to clear them from the board. System requirementsīejeweled can be played in all modern browsers, on all device types (desktop, tablet, mobile), and on all operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS. This version of Bejeweled is the HTML5 version, released in 2011. If you have a Hypercube, you can always make a move even if regular matches are not possible anymore.īejeweled is developed by Popcap Games. In the Classic mode, the game ends when there are no moves available anymore. Keep Hypercubes and Special gems on the board as long as possible.This will result in Special Gems which will later result in more points. Make matches of 4 or more when possible.Matching gems at the bottom of the board will destroy potential matches, while making matches at the top of the board doesn’t impact potential matches at the bottom. Start matching gems at the top of the game board.This effectively combines the effect of the Flame Gem and Star Gem.

When matched, it removes all gems in a 3x3 radius and all gems in its row and column.

Supernova Gem: Created by matching a set of 6 gems.

Swap it with a gem to remove all gems of that color.

Hypercube: Created by matching a set of 5 gems.

When matched, it removes all gems in its row and column.

Star Gem: Created by matching gems in an L, T or + shape.

When matched, it causes a fiery blast (removes a group of 3x3 gems around it, also triggering any special gems in that area)

Flame Gem: Created by matching a set of 4 gems.

When time is up, there are some additional points awarded during the Last Hurrah phase. They become increasingly scarce when progressing rounds, making it more difficult to fill the Time Extension tank.Īt the end of a round, the Time Gems that are not matched are changed into Flame Gems (+5) and Star Gems (+10 or +15). Time Gems are added randomly after creating matches. When time is up, the next round starts with the time that is in the Time Extension tank. In each round, the collected Time Gems (+5, +10 or +15) add seconds to the Time Extension tank. In the beginning of the game, the timer is set to 60 seconds. If you make multiple matches in a row fast enough, you will get a speed bonus. The Timer bar at the top of the game board shows how much time you have left. In the Speed game mode (also known as Lightning) you only have a limited amount of time to score points. The game ends when there are no moves available anymore. Every time you progress a level, the Level Bar will require more points to be filled. There is no time limit or other requirement to advance a level, so you can take all the time you need to study the board before making a move.Ĭomplete the progress bar below the game board (called Level Bar) to progress to the next level. In the Classic game mode you advance to the next level by collecting points. Bejeweled has two game modes: classic and timed.
