Jewel Quest

BEWARE OF THIS GAME! It's been 2 days, yet when I close my eyes, all I see are skulls, gems, and stone heads sliding around ... driving around town, I half-expect cars ahead of me to line up and disappear. You don't know what addiction is until you've played this eeeeevil game ... There's good reason it's so incredibly devious: it's the first game I've seen that marries the irresistible but essentially mindless pattern-matching of puyo-puyo to a larger, progressive strategy. The framing device for the sustained exposition happens to be the exploration of lost Mayan ruins. A rich, evocative atmosphere is created immediately by the cryptic comments in the explorer's diary, the disconcerting, cinematic music, and various jungle noises popping up at random times. The tension is gradually ratcheted up by the addition of extra pieces, more difficult boards, time limits, and special pieces that must be matched multiple times to be unlocked. Overall, it's a very high-quality production, with excellent graphics, sounds, and play mechanics. It WILL send all your free time straight to Xibalba!

This is a fantastic game. Nothing else you need to know. My girlfriend had this game on her cell phone, so I thought I would download it for her when she is at my place. Well, I play it more than her. Well worth the money to upgrade...
