## What is Jewels?

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!

### 5/5 — Love it til lately-HELP

*2023-05-26, version 3.2*

Been playing for years and find it relaxing. However recently a black screen pops up after about 5 tile drops and I have to “X” it to close it. There is no advertisement, just a black screen. I don't mind ads but I think this is a problem you need to fix. Please?

### 3/5 — Problem lately

*2023-05-24, version 3.2*

I like the game. However, lately, the game stops and black screen appears and sometimes adds interrupt the game as well. I removed and reinstalled the game, but it didn’t help; the black screen keeps showing up. I understand why you need adds, but it seems that black screen is a glitch. I hope it will get fixed because the game helps me get short relaxing breaks.

### 4/5 — Relaxing !!

*2023-01-23, version 3.2*

### 2/5 — Problem lately

*2022-01-04, version 3.2*

It's a fun way to relax. However, lately, it gets frozen occasionally. I removed and reinstalled the game, but it didn’t help. 
All other games work fine, therefore I think it’s a glitch with the game. I hope it will get fixed because I really liked the game before the problem.

ADDICTED!

### 1/5 — Good games but user hostile adverts scheme.

*2019-01-03, version 3.2*

Gameplay is constantly interrupted by adverts with obscure dismiss buttons and time delays. There’s no option to pay for the game and get it free of ads.
App support is via Facebook which I refuse to use.
