Following yesterdays coziest ever video game launch, PopCap Games has today announced the immediate availability of Bejeweled 3 which comes with twice the game modes of its predecessor as well as eight mini-games and a complete revision of sound and graphics.
In Bejeweled 3, Classic mode delivers all the untimed match-3 fun, but with several new twists, like the powerful Star gem. And as we reported yesterday, the Zen mode comes full of options for meditation and stress relief, including breath modulation, ambient sounds, binaural beats and mantras for focusing your thoughts. For puzzle fans, Quest mode offers dozens of unique variants, like Balance and Alchemy, which will test players’ skills as they try to restore five lost relics.
The four all-new modes of Bejeweled 3 are:
-
Butterflies: Match the butterfly gems to free them before they ascend the board. If they flutter all the way to the top, the spider wins!
Poker: Make matches to create poker hands, with better hands scoring more points. Avoid “outlawed” hands as the game progresses, or only a lucky flip of the coin can save you.
Diamond Mine: Delve deep beneath the earth by exploding gems to tunnel downward. Unearth gold, artifacts and Hypercubes to score big!
Ice Storm: Hold back the rising ice floe in this chilling, speed-based variation. Match gems quickly to keep columns of frost at bay.
Casual games such as Bejeweled are becoming more and more popular and make up a giant part of the industry. Since its introduction 10 years ago, Bejeweled has become one of the top 10 video game franchises in history. More than half a billion people worldwide have played the game, with an estimated 7.5 billion hours spent playing Bejeweled between them.
