Jewel Tree: Match It

Although it’s not difficult to come up with a match three game, the tricky thing is to make it unique and addictive at the same time, because there are hundreds of alternatives out there to choose from. Hence, it takes more than a basic idea to get people riled up, especially nowadays when everyone can access online games from their tablet or smartphone.

Jewel Tree: Match It is a classic match-3 game in which you have to solve levels by accomplishing a variety of objectives, most of which dare you to obtain a certain number of points or just clear the marked tiles. It’s obviously not a new formula at all, but there are a few elements that differ from other match-3 games on the market, some of which are pretty fun and engaging.

To begin with, you can match jewels in any direction and however you want, as long as they share the same color. Hence, whether you want to go diagonally or trace back your steps to get a tile you might have missed, almost everything is permitted. You can pick up rainbow tiles and combine two colors at once, which allows you to score even bigger combos.

The higher the combo you score, the more each tile you clear is worth, which is important later on when you have a very limited number of moves at your disposal. On top of that, you can also make use of special combos that provide you with various abilities. Granted, most power-ups cost money, so it’s recommended that you do not spend too much on them.

As for the graphics, everything is more or less as you would expect it to be in a match-3 game, which means colorful and simple. There is some hand-drawn artwork to relay the story once every handful of levels, but it’s very crude and simple. However, the level design is quite nice, even if not much changes in regards to the background or the tiles.

Even if Jewel Tree: Match It is far from an original concept, you can still have a lot of fun with it if you are a fan of the genre. On the other hand, it can also get pretty repetitive after a while, depending on your tolerance.
