Jewel Quest has 180 levels and is set within the Mayan culture. Failing to do so within the given time limit, or reaching a situation in which no more swaps are possible, costs one life and sends the player back to the start of that level.Īs the game progresses, new variations are introduced to make gameplay increasingly difficult: irregularly-shaped grids, squares in hard-to-reach places, tokens that must be matched multiple times to clear them from the board, etc. The player must turn every square on the board to gold in order to complete the level. Whenever tiles disappear, the background grid positions turn gold. The matched set disappears, allowing tokens to drop into the gaps from above if more matched sets form as a result, they disappear as well. The player may swap any two adjacent tiles, as long as the swap results in a horizontal or vertical line of three or more matching tokens. Jewel Quest is a 'match 3' puzzle played on a grid filled with various tokens, such as diamonds, gold nuggets, coins, and skulls. iWin also released a series of sequels and spin-off games. First released for Windows, it has been redeveloped for Symbian S60, the Nintendo DS (as Jewel Quest: Expeditions), the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade and other platforms. Jewel Quest is a tile-matching puzzle video game created and published by iWin. Windows, Macintosh, Mobile phone, Xbox 360 ( XBLA)
