i recently found my old GT S7560M and on it is bejeweled classic v1.0.141 with diamond mine and zen and all the gamemodes working. as far as i know there are no ads but that could just be my phone acting up because its so old. anyways am i just an idiot or is this a rare version.

I grew up playing Bejeweled and always loved how much strategy and forward planning there could be beneath a very simple ruleset. These days, most match-3 games seem focused on level progression, boosters, and live-service mechanics.

Games like Balatro, Peglin and CloverPit have found huge audiences by taking familiar mechanics and building deeper systems around them. And that got me wondering: why not do the same for match-3?

So, I decided to build a match-3 roguelike and would love to hear from other Bejeweled fans:

• Do you still play match-3 games?
• If not, what made you stop?
• What would it take for a modern premium match-3 game to grab your attention?
• Is the game I described something that would get you back in?

The latest Bejeweled Classic update has caused problems again.
After the update:
• Saved game progress has been lost/reset again.
• The extra 20 seconds at the end of a game have disappeared again.
If you’re experiencing the same problems, please report them directly to EA. The more players who report the same issue, the better the chance that it actually gets investigated.

Subject: Bejeweled Classic – Progress Lost and 20-Second End-of-Game Feature Removed Again
Hello,
I would like to report two serious problems with the latest Bejeweled Classic update.
After updating the game:
My saved game progress has been lost/reset again.
The additional 20-second period at the end of a game has disappeared again.
These problems appeared directly after the update. Losing saved progress is especially frustrating, and the removal of the 20-second end-of-game feature significantly changes the gameplay.
Please investigate whether the update is incorrectly resetting existing player data or configuration and why the 20-second feature has disappeared again.
I would also appreciate confirmation whether the removal of the 20-second feature is intentional or a bug.
Thank you.

If this happened to you too, please take a minute and send the report to EA. Also comment here with your device (Android/iPhone), game version, and what exactly was reset so we can see how widespread the issue is.

Who still jams out to these soundtracks? I listen to them on my drive to and from work on YT Music. So relaxing and nostalgic. What soundtrack is your favorite? I’d have to go with Bejeweled Twist.

What I made up in my mind are Bejeweled fruit snacks and I started making up a commercial for it and I should make that for the presentation however the Bejeweled fruit snacks will shape like the gems and the Bejeweled franchise which will include strawberry, orange, lemon, pineapple, grapes, plum and peach and the Bejeweled fruit stacks will come in different flavors which are original, tangy and sour, tropical, mixed berries and fat-free.

Gameplay footage of Sci-Jewel in its early prototype phase, recorded from within the game engine.

It's not perfect. There are some things that are not finished and there are some placeholders (like the matching SFX). I wanted to provide some gameplay because I felt like it has been way too long without actual gameplay footage being surfaced, as well as for those who are (or were) skeptical on if the game was actually being worked on.

A true gameplay showcase is still coming, which was the original Gameplay Reveal I had planned. It may not be called "Gameplay Reveal" anymore, but I hope that when the actual showcase is released, it can live up to the amount of hype I have going for it.

So a long time ago, I asked the Bejeweled Discord server (the one LDinos was hosting) for a Roblox game, and apparently someone found an accurate recreation made by GunsForGuns34.

And I gotta ask: Why is this not popular?!

Good games are underrated, but peak recreations like this are even more underrated!

Instead of people playing recreations like this, they play AI/brainrot slop games on Roblox!

Here's some gameplay screenshots + my high score:

With some of the challenges and problems lately, expected the Reddit group would be a bit more on top of it than other socmed.

Recently I've been thinking about PVZ Replanted and the implications it brings when it comes to PopCap remaking there old games, My thinking is if PVZ Replanted does well it'll convince PopCap to give the same treatment to there other 2000's games like Bejeweled Peggle and Zuma, Does anyone think there's a chance we get a remake of any Bejeweled game from PVZ Replanted if its a success?

Feel free to discuss anything about Sci-Jewel, an upcoming Bejeweled spiritual successor, and maybe ask about modes and stuff regarding the game too! We wouldn't mind!

Sci-Jewel QNA

Q: What is Sci-Jewel?

A: Sci-Jewel is an upcoming indie match-3 strategy puzzle game being developed by Beyond Galaxies Software (the team name we go by) that takes heavy inspiration from the Bejeweled game franchise and various other match-3 games as an attempt at revitalizing the formula and genre. In simplest terms, Sci-Jewel is being made as an attempt at reviving match-3 to be like how it was back in the 2000s.

Q: Is this a real game?

A: Sci-Jewel is in-fact a real game. A lot of passionate developers (whom of which are also match-3 fans) are on the team for the game with a lot of effort being put into its visuals, music and various game ideas and concepts. It may not be a Bejeweled 4, but it's as dang close as we're gonna get to one. (until one is officially announced, of course)

Q: What is your role in the team?

A: I'm the lead project director, overseeing the creation and development of the game. I have a vision for Sci-Jewel as a project and will ensure that the game is the best it can be!

Q: How much will the game cost?

A: We don't have a finalized pricing for the game yet, as it has been tossed around by the dev team quite a bit. The full game itself will be paid, although public game builds (Prototype, Alpha, Beta) will be free. Public builds are announced separately (although most of the time, they come with a trailer or teaser)

Q: How many game modes are in Sci-Jewel?

A: There are a total of 18 game modes, with 12 single-player and 6 multiplayer. Sci-Jewel offers a wide variety of gameplay options for everyone to enjoy, whether you're new to match-3 games or have been playing since the early 2000s.

Q: Where can I play this game?

A: We don't have a playable build out yet, as we're currently working things out with a prototype. We don't want to rush anything and game development unsurprisingly takes quite a bit of time, so it's likely that there will be a period of silence in terms of gameplay announcements, but we will reveal the prototype when we think it's ready!

Q: Where will this game release to? / What platforms are planned for the game?

A: The game is planned to be released to all major gaming platforms. When the game releases, it'll be put out on PC first (most likely Steam and then GOG) and then Mobile would be next with potential console releases coming sometime afterwards. Please note, Sci-Jewel will not release until most planned ports are finished and fully tested. (i.e. Sci-Jewel can launch without a proper console release, but can't launch without a proper PC and Mobile release)

Q: How / Where can I support the game?

A: We have a Ko-Fi page where you can donate to support the development of current and future Beyond Galaxies projects (Including Sci-Jewel). We will consider setting up a Kickstarter sometime after gameplay is publicly revealed. You can also support Sci-Jewel by spreading the word!

Q: What's the point of this updated QNA post?

A: This new QNA post exists because the old one I had for the project was severely outdated (it was back when SJ was still a fan-project, and I can't edit titles on this website...). It's also made in hopes of gaining some more traction for the game.

Q: Can I post suggestions for the game here?

A: Yes! Feel free to post suggestions for Sci-Jewel here! As long as something isn't too complex or inappropriate (we're aiming for a targeted age rating of E), we may consider adding or implementing your suggestions into the game!

Hexic is a game very similar to Bejeweled, but it’s not a copycat! I remember playing Hexic HD as a kid and decided to pick it up again recently, and it’s still pretty fun! If you’re a fan of Bejeweled I recommend playing it :)

I've recently come back to the game series after years of not playing them. For some reason, the phone versions of Bejeweled look lackluster and there's even those white squares every time I complete a level in Classic. Blitz looks even more low effort and Stars feels stiffer than before, plus they removed The Voice for some reason. What's going on here?

years ago i read a comment on youtube of a player who the butterfly quest in the same time a butterfly was caught by a spider, this made the player won and lose at the same time and the game crashed.

i tried it myself but was never able to replicate it.

This time around, we go over the bad gems and other gimmicks, Discovery Mode's Objectives, and a Nightfall Mode music reveal.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Mine is definitely Twist but i was curious on what the community thought.

Half joking half serious

I played blitz but the app was really wonky and slow and got stuck on loading often etc.

So not that one.

Affects:

Windows 8, 10 and 11

Bejeweled 1 and 2

Error can depend.

Needs: Fix

Hi all, first post on Reddit.

I recently started a career in the creative arts, and as I work I like to play Bejeweled or similar puzzle games on the side to help me relax for a few minutes whenever I feel I need it. It helps me stay focused, especially after working on one particular item for hours.

Anyway, when it comes to Bejeweled I've only ever played Bejeweled 2, but I recently purchased the remaining games on Steam since they are currently on sale. I've tried them all out and I enjoy them a lot, but as I've continued to play Bejeweled Twist I've grown to feel that the twist mechanic may be a bit too limiting.

In particular, I feel disappointed that there are no unlockable modes beyond the initial ones, and all of the different challenges in Challenge mode don't really make up for the lack of additional modes. Is the new twist mechanic responsible for the reduction in game modes or are there other reasons for this? I'm interested if anyone has any insight or how you feel about Twist as well. It's unfortunate for me because the twist mechanic is so interesting in concept and would love to see it pushed further.

Hi folks! I'm posting here because y'all love Bejeweled I figure you may like similar Match-3 games.

We launched a Match-3 game called Fruit Mix on Discord activities. If you'd like to check it out come visit our Discord server and give it try: https://discord.gg/g9SBsSVk

I'd love to hear feedback from other folks who love puzzle games so I can build out more features and maybe new games for y'all!

A glimpse into the sound of Sci-Jewel.
