The great sound effects are bolstered by the ethereal voice of Zachary Throne. Bejeweled Live+ gets high marks on both fronts, but the sound impresses me most of all.
We can always count on two things from PopCap: their games will look pretty and sound even better. The game counts how many butterflies you match, but the real goal is just to score as high as possible. If any butterflies make it to the top of the screen, they get eaten by a spider and the game ends.
Matching a butterfly eliminates it, but another one will soon spawn. Each match you make causes the butterflies to go up one space. Want some challenge without a time limit? In this unique mode, colored butterflies spawn at the bottom of the screen. The game ends when you can’t make any more matches. Once the meter fills, you move on to a new level with a fresh set of gems. The original, un-timed game mode (pictured above) in which matches fill up a meter at the bottom of the screen. Scores achieved in any mode contribute to an overall player level, but that level doesn’t unlock anything (not even an Achievement), making it kind of a worthless feature. That game’s Quest, Ice Storm, and Poker are not found here, nor is Bejeweled Blitz, which sells as a separate game on iOS. Five ways to playīejeweled Live+ includes several modes, some of which originated in Bejeweled 3 for XBLA and PC. Finally, the very rare six gem matches make a Supernova gem that clears a large portion of the screen. Swapping the ‘cube with another gem will destroy all gems of that color. Matches of five gems in a row make the all-powerful Hypercube. Make a T, L, or Plus to create a Star Gem that clears an entire column or row when matched. Four in a row make a Flame Gem that destroys all gems within a small radius when matched. Matching gems in a skillful way (or by happy accident) can produce some helpful special gems. It’s simple and addictive, more so thanks to PopCap’s typically great sound effects. More gems then fall into the field, and the process repeats until the game ends. Match three or more gems of the same color by sliding a single gem horizontally or vertically. By now, just about every gamer should understand Bejeweled’s core gameplay.
