Returning from Bejeweled Twist is the Supernova Gem, which is made by lining up six gems in a row, and destroys all gems in rows and columns in a 3x3 radius.Īdditional game improvements include animated backgrounds, the replay system from Bejeweled Twist, advanced animation transitions, 3D menu areas, and online leaderboard support (for the Steam (friends only), Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions). The game also features the Star Gem (a variation of the Lightning Gem from Bejeweled Twist), which is made by matching gems in a L, T, or + shape, and will destroy all the gems in it's row and column. Being made during the same time as Blitz, Bejeweled 3 allows the player to make moves while gems are falling, and swapping two Hypercubes with each other performs the Annihilator, which destroys every gem on the board.

Bejeweled 3 features a hand-drawn fantasy theme featuring medieval-like areas and ancient lands, a departure from the series' previously known planetary space theme.īejeweled 3 evolves from the traditional Bejeweled gameplay. Unlike previous entries, there is no penalty for using the Hint button, although there is now a cooldown. If the player cannot find a match, they can use the Hint button to find a match. Unlike previous entries, the player can now swap other gems while other gems are still falling. When this occurs, the gems disappear and new randomly generated gems fall from above, with gems above being affected by gravity, potentially creating a chain reaction. The main gameplay of Bejeweled 3, like previous installments in the series, involves swapping two adjacent gems to form a line of three or more gems of the same color.
