The Puzzle mode involves attempting to clear all gems off several boards.Unlike Classic, the player cannot run out of moves. In later levels, the timer bar drains faster. The timer bar slowly retracts as the player does not make matches.

The Action mode features similar gameplay to Classic, with the progress bar acting as a timer.The game ends when no moves are possible. When it is filled, the player advances to the next level, where the base score is multiplied by the current level's number, with the points needed to level up increases every level. Scoring points fill up the progress bar at the bottom of the screen. The Classic mode involves attempting to score as many points as possible before the player runs out of legal moves.If a secret game mode is discovered, a question mark button will appear on the main menu screen, which shows the secret game modes. Five (four if the hidden Original mode is not counted) game modes are available from the start, and the secret game modes (Twilight, Hyper, Cognito, and Finity) are unlocked after reaching specific benchmarks in each of the game modes. When it depletes to 0, it explodes similarly to the Power Gem.īejeweled 2 features several different gameplay modes. Bombs have a green numerical counter on them that decreases every move. Rocks are solid objects that cannot be matched but can be destroyed using special gems. Two other gems also appear in the Puzzle, Cognito, and Finity modes. When a match of five or more gems is made, a Hypercube is created, which destroys all gems of the swapped gem's color from the board. When four gems are matched at once, or when the player makes two matches in an L, T, or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the eight gems surrounding it when matched. They can also wait several seconds for an automatic Hint feature to trigger without penalty.Ĭreating matches of four or more gems will create powered-up gems known as Special Gems. If the player is unable to find a match, the player can use the Hint button to find an available match at the cost of several points. Sometimes, falling gems automatically line up, causing chain reactions. When three gems are lined up, they disappear and cause randomly generated gems to fall from the top to take the matched gems' place. Like its predecessor, Bejeweled 2 involves swapping two adjacent gems to form a line of three or more gems of the same color. The game was originally released on November 5, 2004, and has been ported to several platforms following its release, including game consoles, smartphones and in-flight entertainment services. Released as a sequel to Bejeweled, Bejeweled 2 introduces new game mechanics, such as Special Gems and extra game modes, along with new visuals and sounds.
