Bejeweled Download PC

Bejeweled is a tile-matching puzzle video game by PopCap Games, developed for browsers in 2001. Three follow-ups have been released. More than 75 million copies of Bejeweled have been sold, and the game has been downloaded more than 150 million times.

Gameplay

The objective of Bejeweled is to swap one gem with an adjacent gem to form a horizontal or vertical chain of three or more gems of the same color. Bonus points are given when chains of more than three identical gems are formed and when two chains are formed in one swap. Gems disappear when chains are formed and gems fall from the top to fill in gaps. Sometimes chain reactions, called "cascades", are triggered, where chains are formed by the falling gems. Cascades are awarded with bonus points. There are two variations of the game to choose from.

Normal Mode

In Normal Mode, the player fills up the progress bar on the bottom of the screen by matching gems. When the progress bar is filled up completely, the player goes to the next level. As the level progresses, more points are required to proceed to the next level. As the player levels up, the player gets more points by matching (example: Level 1= 10 pts., Level 2= 15 pts. etc.). If no moves are possible, the game ends.

Time Trial Mode

The gameplay mechanics are almost the same as Normal Mode. In Time Trial Mode, the progress bar starts at the half. The progress bar depletes as the player doesn't make any matches. The player levels up by filling the progress bar, like in Normal Mode. The progress bar depletes faster and gets slower to fill up as the player levels up, and gets progressively faster. If no moves are possible, the player gets a new board instead of getting a game over. If the progress bar depletes completely, the player is given a game over.
