Fans of ‘match 3’ games like Bejeweled, rejoice! Some of the best are on sale in the Amazon App Store for 33% or more off!
Bejeweled 2 – currently priced at $1.99. This game has an average review rating of 3.5/5 stars, but if you look at the 1-star reviews you’ll find most of them are from people who are trying to install or run this game on a smart phone. Kindle Fire users are having a much better experience, and the reviews reflect that. From Amazon:
Gem Matching Puzzle FunBejeweled is back! The casual game that became a phenomenon a few years ago on the Web returns with this engaging sequel from the folks at PopCap Games. As you may know by now, Bejeweled is an immensely popular matching puzzle game with a great interface and addicting gameplay.
Bejeweled 2 is simple, relaxing, and fun: The object of the game is to line up at least three identical gems in a row. Swap adjacent gems to make matches. Tap on the gem you want to move and then tap again on the space where you want it to go. Every time you make a successful match, those jewels burst into showers of brilliant color. Match four or more jewels to create prized power gems, yielding higher scores and more dazzling cascades of light. Match five gems to create a Hyper cube–with startling, explosive results.
Having trouble spotting the next match? If necessary, you can get hints “on demand” to point you toward that elusive matching opportunity. (You can turn this feature on or off in the game’s menu.)
A Mode for Every MoodBejeweled 2 features three modes of play: Classic, Action, and Endless. If you’re a newbie, you might want to start off in the untimed Classic mode–your game only ends when you have no more possible moves. Looking for a challenge? Try racing against the clock in Action Mode. See how many points, jewels, cascades, combos, power gems, and Hyper cubes you can collect before your timer runs out. Or do you just feel like zoning out? Go with the Endless option, soaring to new gem-matching heights while racking up the highest possible scores.
Aces Jewel Hunt – currently priced at $1.99 and currently comes bundled with a $1 Amazon MP3 Store credit. This game is also rated 3.5/5 stars, but again, it’s only smart phone users who seem to be having technical issues. From Amazon:
