## What is Match 3 Jewels?

Match jewels and have fun! Clear the board and let the candy fall down. 

Collect gold and crystals in Gold Rush mode.


CLASSIC GAME MODE

Match jewels on every square to destroy all the squares under the jewels. Then a magic candy will appear. Let the candy fall off the board to win.

Sometimes, you have to free the jewels from chains or destroy walls to complete the level.

On every level, you can get up to 3 stars. Next world unlocks, when you reach 160 stars in the previous world.

To make the game more fun, make matches of 4 or 5 to launch meteors, which will help you complete the level. Meteors will either crush the squares under the jewels, or the jewels under the candy to let the candy fall down.

GOLD RUSH MODE

If you still haven't enough, you can play the Gold rush mode and dig for gold and diamonds.

Match 4 or 5 jewels to get bomb or magic jewel. Use bombs, magic jewels and flashes to hit more jewels. 

Match clock jewels to extend your time.

The whole game is completely free. No option to buy anything.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-03-03, version 1.42*

I play this game multiple times a day. When I finish all the levels, I go back and redo the ones scoring less than 90. When I finish that - I delete the app and then reload it and start over. 😄

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2025-10-29, version 1.40*

Immer wieder, gern spielen.

### 5/5 — Glad I found this game

*2025-04-02, version 1.42*

I actually hated losing Jungle Jewels over seven years ago and then I came upon this game and it’s even more fun!

### 4/5 — Sterne

*2025-02-24, version 1.42*

Ich habe alle Sterne erreicht, leider geht es nicht weiter…. sonst ein tolles Spiel

### 1/5 — Pfui !

*2024-10-31, version 1.42*

Schlecht gemachte Kopie besserer Spiele der merkwürdige Moves selbst auslöst, immer wieder kein weiter kommen da keine Kombination mehr vorhanden sind. Dies löst ein neu mischen des Feldes aus welches echt nicht gut durchdacht ist. Die neuen Juwelen fallen oft viel zu ungünstig auf das Feld.

### 5/5 — Bestes Spiel dieser Art, mit Abstand!

*2024-07-04, version 1.42*

Aufhören wann man will und später weiterspielen. Mischung zwischen können und Glück. Musik und Sound nervt nicht. Werbung nie über 5 Sekunden lang und nicht zu oft. Motivation: man kann schlecht aufhören. Manchmal denkt man, der Level geht nicht, geht aber doch mit einem Mal. Ich spiele das schon einige Jahre. Wenn man es durchgespielt hat Cache löschen und neu anfangen. Es gibt viele solcher Spiele aber das hier finde ich am besten, mit Abstand. Und das, obwohl es schon ziemlich alt ist. Zusatz 24.4.22 Kaum zu glauben. Heute kam ein Update mit 99 weiteren Level. Und das bei einem Jahre alten Spiel. Einfach nur Klasse!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Updates

*2024-01-11, version 1.42*

Nach all den Jahren noch Updates. Top.

### 5/5 — Game lover84

*2023-04-15, version 1.40*

I love this game. I have been every level 3 times, bettering my scores each time. Need a new level soon.

### 5/5 — Nettes Spielchen für zwischendurch

*2022-11-27, version 1.40*

Ich spiele das immer mal wieder wenn ich warten muss.

### 5/5 — Suchtgefahr

*2022-10-24, version 1.40*

Es ist sehr abwechslungsreich und wirkt vor allem eine sehr große Suchtgefahr, da man natürlich immer besser sein möchte. Macht viel Spaß und ist gut für die Konzentration.
