Match three or more gems to clear objectives. Discover beautiful islands studded with unique challenges and embark on an adventure filled with surprises, explosions, and playful puzzles. The look, feel, sound, and gameplay is exactly the same. Bejeweled Stars is an archipelago of jewel-based match-3 puzzles.
If you've yet to pick up Bejeweled, you can download the game now for $0.99 on iPhone and $3.99 on iPad. Bejeweled 2 for the iPhone/iPod Touch and PC should be considered a direct port of the Xbox 360/PS2 version of the game that was released in December 2005. The experience is still lacking versus its console or PC counterparts, but with PopCap's dedication to the game already being obvious, we shouldn't have to wait that much longer for additional modes to launch. Create electrifying special gems like Flame. Discover your perfect match with 4 breathtaking modes in this classic gem-matching game, from the fast-paced, time-based Lightning, to the deep-digging Diamond Mine. Bejeweled perhaps the most insanely addictive puzzle game ever.
Of course, this Lightning Mode comes to both the iPhone and iPad version of the game as a free update, bringing us to five total game modes: Classic, Zen, Diamond Mine, Butterflies and now Lightning. The description of Bejeweled Classic App. If you're skilled enough (or perhaps lucky enough), you can spend 5-10 minutes in a single Lightning game as you earn more and more bonus time, and rack up more points as your multiplier ticks ever higher in each round. At the end of the round, any bonus time you've accumulated will become your new timer and the cycle repeats.
You'll start with 60 seconds, and can earn up to 60 seconds in bonus gems during that first round. However, with Lightning Mode on Bejeweled iOS, there's a major twist: you're not limited to playing for just 60 seconds, but can play for much longer by destroying gems that contain extra seconds. As I stated earlier, Bejeweled Blitz will be added to Bejeweled 2 for the iPhone and iPod touch via a free update, so if you already own Bejeweled 2, you are certainly in for a treat.
Lightning Mode will be familiar to those that have played games like Bejeweled 3 on XBLA, as it offers timed gameplay not entirely unlike that of the Bejeweled Blitz Facebook game. While there have been plenty of official Bejeweled apps released on iPhone and iPad over the years, the basic "Bejeweled" app has quickly become the definitive version for those that want to destroy gems while on the go, and has become even more fantastic with the game's latest update, bringing Lightning Mode to the experience.
