Jewels – Match 3 – Puzzle Game Review
Jewels – Match 3 is a Puzzle/Board/Entertainment game from Vasiliy Gladkikh, first launched in 16th April 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 56+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Jewels – Match 3 Stand Out
In our game we attempted to merge rules of Bubble Shooter, Jewels and Lines. If you like such match-3 games, try this one. You can play in 5 infinite modes or in campaign with 30 levels. The rules are very simple – you need to collect 3 or more jewels with the same color to remove them and get scores. At each step there are two random mini jewels and one big jewel. You can control only one big jewel, other mini jewels are not under your control. That's all.
Have a good time!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Been playing for years and find it relaxing. However recently a black screen pops up after about 5 tile drops and we have to X it to close it. There is no advertisement, just a black screen. We don't mind ads but we think this is a problem you need to fix. Please.
We kinda like it!! Especially the music channel! Pretty trick. Kool.
We haven't played the previous version but this was good game! We don't know what other people said about adds. Seems like the adds comes after play and doesn't really get in the way of game play.
Very addicted and easy to start. We like simple graphic as well.
Great game play concept and very beautiful design. We're sure there are other games with the same concept but this one works really well for us. We're kind of addicted.
We love this game and we have been playing it for years on our iphone. It is a simple game but it relaxes us and helps us settle down. Simple things give us great joy and we are glad to cont playing without interruptions and ad breaks. Thanks.
We live that it saves your process. And the different types of gameplay.
Fun puzzle like game. Music is ok but gameplay is done well.
We like the game. However, lately, the game stops and black screen appears and sometimes adds interrupt the game as well. We removed and reinstalled the game, but it didnt help; the black screen keeps showing up. We understand why you need adds, but it seems that black screen is a glitch. We hope it will get fixed because the game helps us get short relaxing breaks.
FORCING ADS IS ON THE 'HIGH' SIDE OF RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! Needs NO Ad option! The ads are mega, extremely annoying!!!!! We "WILL NOT" put to use ANY of them ads.!.!.! Up-dates in the game are better.
UPDATE: This game is no longer relaxing and enjoyable to play. Having FOUR consecutive ads between moves is ridiculous. It seems the longer we play, the more frequent the ads. The game locks up sometimes when the ads come up, too. We're extremely disappointed, because this used to be one of our favorite games. We've enjoyed playing this game for a long time, and we are excited to see the greatly improved graphics; they are MUCH better. But the random pop-up ads interrupting play are annoying. We appreciate that you want to make some money for your efforts, but why not give us a choice to pay for ad removal? We'll gladly pay for a game that we enjoy and play as often as we do this one.
We LOVE this app. We can't put it down. BUT we are deleting it. We could handle all the ads but now there are ads that do not allow you to quit them. We have to shut down jewels and start it over again. There are too many other games to put up with this.
Love the game! Very addictive but the ads come on! We understand the concept but every other move?? Give us an option to buy ad free.
Cool game but the graphics need improvement.
We like the new version in the way it plays longer and let's you get a lot more points. We like the new cosmetics of the shapes. We like how the white balls actually add to the score by turning colors. In the older version when 3 black squares came together, they did not add to the play. The bad thing about it is every couple of moves, it has an ad pop up. The previous version had the ad before the game started but did not stop the game several times so you had to see ads for other games. All of which are not even similar to jewels, which is the game of choice. You have actually done us a favor by adding all the ads. We played this game several times a day, now with the adds disrupting the game so many times, we will stop playing it.
It's a good game, but the pop-up adds are way too frequent and annoying.
Use to be fun but not it keeps flipping to ap store. Sometime 10 times in a row.
Graphics are worse. Much less engaging. They've also added advertisements that interrupt you in the middle of your game. The one nice addition is a lightning mode.
Like the game, can't tolerate the constant interrupting ads. Likely won't play due to those stupid ads.
Yes Im leaving a review because the adds that pop up on top of the game are grossly sexual on nature foreigner of this country of ours disrespectful totall whats up with that dont understand its a game.
Don't know why you would try to fix something that doesn't need fixing!! Hate this version and will not playing unless old version is brought back.
We don't like this new version. Too many adds and game freezes during play.
If you authors want to make a new and ugly app make a new one. Why mess with a perfectly good one and make this ugly mess. Arrogance is the answer…or maybe that ignorant.
New version is awful. We will be deleting this game as soon as we finish this review. We had been playing the previous game for hours every day. New version has pop-up ads DURING PLAY, and the graphics look cheesy. Also, no upgrade for ad-free on either version.
We most likely will quit playing jewels if they keep this new version. Too many adds interrupting and jewels are too small. The older version feels more like a puzzle. Distracting graphics on new version. Did we mention we don't like the adds? Errr.
We prefer the old graphics much much better–please bring them back. The new one is hard to follow. We won't play anymore.
Very very addicting game & fun.
To start with we wasn't sure about this game, but after more plays we think it is really a great way to spend an evening. Thanks for the game.
Mesmerizing! Time seems to stop & before you know it an hour or more has gone by.
The concept is simple- match 3 of the same kind of gems as they fall from the top before the grind fills to the top. It seems simple enough…but it's not :).
It's a fun game to play, and addictive.
Love this game but beware, it is addicting.
The only problem with this game is we can't stop playing!! Love it.
This is an entertaining game that you can play at your own pace – it makes you stop and THINK! We enjoy it immensely.
Different. Nice change for match 3.
We find this game relaxing and so much fun to do.
This is a fun game that is very addictive.
Fun game, easy to play & passes time. Not sure how long it will last as easy level can go on forever, we eventually stop or make ourselves lose.
This game is relaxing. We love it and play after work.
This is a mindless but fun game.
Great game, but have figured out the easy section. We can't loose, unless we make ourselves. Onto second challenge.
Keeping our mind busy because we're sick.
Very challenging! Really like. Thanks.
A fun game to play thats easy to learn. Challenging enough to keep you playing but not drive you crazy. We LIKE the last update.
Uploaded update. Couldn't get over 550 points on any level and now we have over 16,000 points on levels 1 and 3. Trying to lose but can't seem to.
This is lovely and stimulating.
Luv it. Awesome, fun, addicting, thank you.
Challenging from the beginning. Good fun.
Real original and entertaining fun! We would give 5 stars if we could save or have option to continue last game we left off like some other games allow. Other than that we can't think of anything we would change! Really enjoy this game and we're glad we don't need wifi since we have an iPod :D THANKS :D.
Great game for the mind. Keeps us thinking.
