I -almost- prefer the original ‘Bejeweled’, which is still available and oddly costs the same as the new version, but this is a good program nonetheless. I would have been even more impressed if it would have been a bit more innovative, and if it was a little lighter on my Palm’s resources. Bejeweled proves that diamonds are indeed forever Play today 2000-2006 PopCap Games. Solve handcrafted brain teasers in puzzle mode while up against the clock or kick back, relax and enjoy endless mode.
There is a menu option for almost everything from the sound to the transitions (as you would have seen had it allowed me to take screen shots!) Astraware is aware of the resource demand issue and offers “ Bejeweled2Lite” for owners of newer Palms that can’t quite handle the full version. Jewel junkies will love the vintage look of this gem-matching classic.

As usual, Astraware gives you a lot of control. Even with a Palm Tx, it crashed a couple times when an alarm would come up or I tried to take a screen shot of things like menus.
The game won’t play on many devices, like older Treos and Zires. High-res, beautiful images, interesting transitions… but this comes at a price. Interesting variation, especially in the upper levels. ‘Puzzle’ is a bit like Vexed – you are presented with several gems and you must clear the screen without leaving any left-over gems. Where before you had the basic and timed games, Bejeweled2 offers the ‘Classic’ (basic game), ‘Challenge’ (timed game), ‘Puzzle’ and ‘Endless’ variations. Perhaps it is because this is the same thing others have done to games like Breakout and Tetris and it is just too familiar.īejeweled2 does add some new games. While this adds some new elements, it really does not seem to move the game to a new dimension for me. Make a row of five and you get a hypergem, etc. Make four in a row and you get an exploding gem. Bejeweled2 adds a new dimension of gameplay by adding specialty gems.
