Jewels

July 18, 2013 Comments

Thank you for your interest in Jewels! I recommend checking out the sequel, Jewels 2 instead! 🙂 To the Jewels 2 -page

Unfortunately, Jewels is no longer available on the mobile app stores. Thank you for understanding!

Jewels is a simple yet polished match-3 game similar to the original Bejeweled and the Russian game Shariki. The game has been available for the Google Android -platform for a good while through the Play Store, and is now available at the App Store as well for Apple devices! It has gathered lots of active players and is in the top-3 free games for Android! Try it if you like puzzle / match-3 games, it can be quite addictive! It's free (although ad-supported) as well. 🙂

iJewels for iOS features:

• Colorful, crisp graphics
  (pixel perfect support for the Retina Display!)
• Smooth and polished game play
  (runs nicely at around 60 FPS on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, but also works fine on older devices)
• Game Center support
  (on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch 2nd gen. or later, running iOS 4.1)
• Four game modes: Normal, Timed, Quick and Infinite
• Calm and soothing music, including more intensive tracks for the Timed-mode
• Supports iOS multitasking / fast app switching, automatically saves the game state on older OS versions as well

Jewels for Android features:

• Simple gameplay, no extra stuff!
• Three game modes: Normal, Timed and Infinite
• Nice, clean graphics and polished game play

There is also the original PC-version of Jewels, done in 2007 as an exercise in XNA / C# programming. However, I will most definitely recommend the Android-version, as the game works quite a lot better as a casual mobile game. In fact, I actually recommend the sequel! 😉
