Complaint!

Wait everyone levels in the 40’s and above are hard. But when you get into the 80’s & 90’s it is almost impossible! I am on 90 now, THE BOMBS COME OFF EVERY 2-5 PLAYS!!! The game won’t even let you play. I DO NOT ASK FOR THE BOMBS, BUT THE GAME WON’T LET YOU DO ANYTHING OTHERWISE!!

Hex Jewels

A really big challenge! I have been stuck on level 44 for some time but I will keep on playing! It gives the eye hand and brain a great workout!

Now stuck on level 47...for quite awhile...but still recommend this “jewel” of a game!!

Stuck on 49...but the sheer challenge will keep me striving.

Maybe my favorite

This might be the most engaging game on my phone. It continues to be moderately challenging, but also allows me to suspend play for a few minutes to many weeks. And I always come back to it.

Starts at level one every time

I get to level 20 and the next time I open the game I have to start over at level one. Don’t know why I should continue to play.
