Wizard game a real gem
Gems, gems and more gems! Ever since the launch of Bejeweled in 2001, jewel themed matching games have become a staple of the casual gamers collection. Now throw in some elements of item crafting and hardcore collecting, and you have Pixelmatic's Gem Wizard.
Similar to every matching game out there, Gem Wizard has the player looking for three or more gems connected to each other. So long as the Gems are touching, they are touching. Links can be as small as three gems or take up the whole screen.
Like more modern versions of the match-three style game, Gem Wizard has a power up mode. Every time the player hits a series of consecutive matches, the point values are doubled. Pixelmatic chose to go phonetically with representing the addition of consecutive matches, so players hitting gem streams one after another get a feeling of making their own music.
