Bejeweled 2
Objective
The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by swapping adjacent gems to create sets, either horizontal or vertical, of 3 or more identical gems.
Game Controls
Swap any two adjacent gems by clicking on one, then the one you want to swap it with. The gems must be adjacent vertically or horizontally (not diagonally).You must create a valid set of three or more identical gems with each move, or the gems will revert back to their original position.
Sets can be either horizontal or vertical, and can contain more than 3 gems. When you have successfully created a set, they will disappear and new gems will fall into place, possibly creating a chain reaction or 'cascade' of more sets.
You can also swap gems by clicking on one, then dragging it in the direction you want to swap. This can be faster and more efficient once you're used to it!
Score
You receive a base score of 10 points for each set you create. Sets of 4 or 5 gems are worth 20 or 30 points respectively. Each set triggered after the first in a single move (a combo or cascade) is worth more points. The first combo is worth 2x the normal points, the second 3x, and so on.
Hints
You can get a Hint at any time by clicking the purple Hint button on the left-hand control bar. This will cause a gem onscreen to flash briefly, indicating that it can be used to create a set. However, every time you use the Hint button, you will lose points! In Action mode, you will also lose several seconds of time.
