Jewel Quest 3 // Review
If you're a fan of puzzle games you'll love this! It has to be the most addictive series of games I think I've ever played. The third in the series, Jewel Quest 3 is set across a globe map with puzzles in Mexico, Iceland, Europe, Africa, South America, Australia, China, Alaska and East Asia. You can select which region you want to play and each of these regions has several puzzles you can chose from with varying difficulty.
If you've not played any of the Jewel Quest series before, you have to swap jewels to create a lines of 3 to clear the board. You can earn things called specials, which allow you to clear one jewel per special, by matching 3 gold coins. The story continues from the previous games, following Rupert and Emma, archeologsits searching for a cure for their daughters blindness and is executed through journal entries written by the characters. It's a simple idea but it's executed brilliantly. The story isn't very involving, but that doesn't bother me because I tend to skip it anyway.
The art is medicore, it's nothing special but it's still pretty, they've taken time to design different backgrounds for each continent. The overall design matches the story which was inspired by Indiana Jones, with the main menu being set in an interactive museum lobby. Jewel Quest 3 is cheap, fun and addictive. Once you've played one, you'll want to play more. Trust me. I even downloaded the second one onto my mobile phone... I just can't get enough!
