In the Zen mode, you can relaxingly advance through colorful levels at your leisure, without any time pressure or obstacles (more on this below). ![]() The Classic mode is the main game, where you’ll progress through increasingly tough levels and frantically attempt to create a chain when you see a bomb countdown if it reaches zero before you can use it in a group of three or more gems, you’ll see the gem spin around a wheel and hope it doesn’t land on a detonator icon, which means it’s game over. This game also reminds me of Hexic (but with hexagonal tiles).ĭepending on your mood, time or skill level, Bejeweled Twist offers four unique game modes to choose from the main menu (two of which need to be unlocked by playing well). Casual gamers might remember a very similar 4-gem clockwise spin mechanic in a game called Spacebound by Gamenauts, so this isn’t an original idea. As with past Bejeweled games, do so causes those gems to disappear and new ones cascade down the board to fill its place.Īnother difference is players do not need to make a match with every move as you did with its predecessors, though you’ll get a multiplier bonus if you can.

Little did the developers know in 2000, when Diamond Mine launched (later to be renamed Bejeweled), this simple yet addictive puzzler would spawn countless clones, sequels and spin-offs for multiple platforms.Īs you probably heard by now, PopCap is back with its most ambitious follow-up to date: Bejeweled Twist. With more than 350 million copies downloaded and more than 25 million units sold, PopCap’s Bejeweled games are without question the most popular casual game franchise of our time. ![]()
