Gemwhirl: Match 3 Jewels

Gemwhirl is a colourful match-3 puzzle game. Swap neighbouring gems to line up three or more of a kind, watch new gems tumble down and set off cascades that multiply your points. Every level has its own goal and a limited number of moves, so each swap counts.

• Hundreds of levels with three kinds of goals: score points, collect gems of the given colours or break all the ice
• Special gems: a striped gem clears a row or column, a bomb blasts the squares around it, a rainbow orb takes a whole colour
• Swap two special gems for even stronger combos – two rainbow orbs clear the whole board
• Cascades multiply your points, and moves you have left turn into a bonus
• Up to three stars per level, and you can replay any level you have completed
• Every colour has its own shape, so gems are easy to tell apart
• A short tutorial, a hint if you pause for a moment, and a swap that makes no match costs no move
• Boards with holes and ice up to two layers thick in later levels
• Portrait and landscape, progress saved on your device
• 7 languages: English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian

How to play
Drag a gem onto a neighbouring square, or tap two neighbouring gems one after the other. Four in a line make a striped gem, an L or T shape makes a bomb, and five in a line make a rainbow orb. The level goal and your remaining moves are shown at the top. Reach the goal before you run out of moves: the first star is for completing the goal, the other two for your score.

Ads and purchase
Gemwhirl is free to play and contains ads. Full-screen ads only appear between levels, never during play, and there are no banners. When you run out of moves, you can choose to watch a rewarded ad for 5 extra moves. This is always optional, and every level can be completed without it. A one-time purchase removes the ads, and the extra moves are then available without watching anything. The game works without an internet connection; only the ads need one.
