The wildly popular puzzle game comes to the Xbox 360 with this slick, colorful, XBLA edition.

Gameplay

Bejeweled is played on a 8 x 8 grid of gems. The objective of the game is to match three or more of the same kind of gem. To do this, you must select a gem, and exchange it with an adjacent one. You may only move one gem per turn, and it can only move in four directions: up, down, left, or right. If you make a move and no gems are matched, then the gem is set back in its original place and you must pick another gem to move.

Once three or more gems are matched, those gems disappear from the field, replaced by the gems above them.

It is advantageous for the player to create chains of matches with one move, known as "cascades."

Modes of Play

Bejeweled 2 Deluxe has four main modes of play: Classic, Action, Puzzle, and Endless.

Classic

Match gems in order to reach the next level, until it is no longer possible for matches to be made.

Action

A match can always be made, but this time the game is timed. A bar at the bottom of the screen indicates the amount of time left. By matching gems, the bar is refilled. Once the bar is filled up all the way, the player moves on to the next level. Each level gives more points for gem matches and the timer bar depletes faster.

Puzzle

The player is present with presented with arrangements of gems. The objective here is to make all gems disappear from the field using a specific sequence of moves.

Endless

Essentially, Action mode without the timer. The player as an infinite amount of time to play the game, and the player cannot run out of moves, meaning a match is always possible.

Additionally, a few secret modes can be unlocked by meeting certain requirements in the main game modes.

Unlockable Modes

Twilight

Unlocked by reaching level 18 in Classic Mode. Twilight changes the gravity with each move, causing gems to be either replaced by those above or below it.

Hyper

Unlocked by reaching level 9 in Action Mode. Hyper is exactly like Action, except roughly 4 times faster. This allows you to more easily create cascades as manually made matches are counted towards them within half a second of each other.

Cognito

Unlocked by completing Puzzle Mode.

Finity

Unlocked by beating level 280 in Endless Mode. Finity mode is Action mode with a few special gems incorporated into it. Points are only awarded to gems destroyed with Bombs or Hyper Cubes.

Special Gems

Besides the normal gem types, there exist some special ones that can be found in the various modes of the game.

Power Gems

Created when matching 4 of the same type of a gem in one move, or creating a cross of 5 matching gems. When destroyed, these gems will explode, destroying all adjacent ones with it.

Hyper Cubes

Created when matching 5 of the same type of gem in one move. To use them, simply move them towards another gem. This will result in the removal of all other gems of the same type on the entire grid.

Bombs

Exclusive to Puzzle and Finity modes. They feature a timer that goes down with every move. Once this timer reaches zero, the bomb explodes, along with all the gems surround int.

Rocks

Exclusive to Puzzle and Finity modes. They cannot be removed by any means other than a bomb or power gem explosion.
