Gemstone Blitz

Intro

Prepare for a dazzling and explosive adventure in Gemstone Blitz! This fast-paced and visually spectacular match-3 game challenges you to swap colorful, shimmering gems to create powerful combos. Your goal is to score as many points as possible before the timer runs out by making strategic matches. The real magic happens when you match more than three gems, creating powerful special gems that can clear huge areas of the board in a brilliant flash of light and color!

How to control

The gameplay is both simple to learn and deeply satisfying. On a desktop, click a gem and then click an adjacent gem to swap their positions. On a mobile device, just tap and drag a gem to an adjacent spot. You can only swap gems if the move results in a new match of three or more identical gems in a row, either horizontally or vertically. When a match is made, the gems are crushed and disappear, and new gems fall from the top to fill the board, often setting off spectacular chain reactions.

Tips

• Look for L and T shapes: The key to massive scores is creating special gems. Matching five gems in an "L" or "T" shape creates a potent Grenade Gem. When you swap this special gem, it will cause a massive 3x3 explosion, clearing a large chunk of the board instantly.
• Aim for Big Matches: Matching five or more gems in a single straight line creates the extremely powerful Missile Gem. This special gem, when swapped, will unleash a beam of energy that clears the entire row and column it's in, leading to huge point gains.
• Work from the Bottom: A classic match-3 strategy that always holds true. Making matches at the bottom of the board is generally more effective than at the top. It shifts a larger number of gems, dramatically increasing your chances of creating automatic, cascading chain reactions for free points.
• Don't Rush, Scan: While the clock is always ticking, it's often better to take a brief moment to scan the entire board for potential special gem combinations rather than making the first, most obvious match you see. A single well-placed special gem can be worth dozens of simple matches.
