At higher levels you will earn more score by making matches and the bar takes more matches to be filled. When the bar is full, you will go to the next level (the blocks will be placed randomly again). There is a meter on the bottom of the screen which shows the progress you have made in that level. But also you can click on “Hint” any time if you get tired of searching! This will cause you to lose score.

If you wait some time, an example of a match will be shown to you (as you see in the right picture). When you manage to make combos, you may get an “excellent” sign! This can happen because the blocks which fall down may fall to a position which will make a match. If you can make more than one matches by moving only one block (a kind of combo), you will earn more score. If you exchange the position of this block with another block, then all the block with the same color will be omitted (Example: You have a yellow block on the left hand side of the white glowing block, when you move the white glowing block to the left, all the yellow blocks will be omitted, as you see in the picture) If you keep the glowing block until the end of a level, in the next level you will have one glowing block, so you can keep the glowing ones for higher levels!Īs for the 5-of-a-kind match you get a more precious block! This is a white somehow watery-electrically glowing block (Hyper Cube). This is a block that if you can make a match with, it will explode and omit 8 neighboring blocks. Compare the two blue blocks in the picture, one of them is a glowing block. Of course as you may have guessed, you can also make 4-of-a-kind and 5-of-a-kind matches too, although for a 5 one you should somehow be lucky! If you manage to make a 4-of-a-kind match, one of the four blocks is not omitted, and remains as a glowing block (Power Gem). There is a much faster way to move a block and that is to drag it (click and hold left mouse button and move the mouse in the desired direction). As for the vertical matches, you should do the same thing.

You can make a 3-of-a-kind match by left clicking on the far right orange block (by clicking on it in fact you select it) and then click on the violet block.Īs you see, the two blocks exchange position, because the orange block which you have moved gets beside two more orange blocks (in fact the 3-of-a-kind match is made) the three orange blocks will be omitted, and the upper blocks fall down to fill the remaining space. Imagine you have found two orange blocks beside each other (horizontal), and at the right hand of these two, there is a violet block and in the right hand side if the white block there is one more orange block. All you have to do is to look for two same blocks positioned beside each other. You can make 3-of-a-kind matches vertically or horizontally. When you start playing (When you hear the voice telling you to “GO”!) you will see the blocks placed randomly in the playing field. There are six types of blocks: The blue block, the yellow block, the violet block, the orange block, the white block, the red block and the green block. Match five and you’ll get a super gem that will make all the gems of the color you select disappear in a blaze of electric arcs.What you do here is simple: Make 3-of-a-kind matches by the blocks. The basic mechanics of the game are the same, as are the “powerups.” For example, match four gems, and you’re rewarded with an exploding gem that will make all the gems in adjoining cells disappear. There’s Classic, in which each matching set of gems makes a thermometer bar grow closer and closer to the end, starting a new level, and Action, in which you’re battling against a clock to beat each level. It’s totally accessible even for novice game players and addictive as a bucket of popcorn at the movies.īejeweled 2 for iPhone has two gameplay modes. Create a match and they’ll disappear you’ll be awarded points, and that row or column will collapse and fill in from the top of the playfield. You can switch the position of gems horizontally or vertically by one space, swapping them with an adjoining gem-but only if that new position yields a matching row or column of three or more gems of the same color. For the uninitiated, the concept behind Bejeweled 2 is exceedingly simple: You’re presented with a playfield awash with sparkling gems of different colors.
