In Classic Mode, the player makes matches to score points and to fill the bar at the bottom to complete the level. Classic is considered to be the main mode of the game.Classic, Action, Puzzle, Endless, and Original (which is hidden) are available from the start, while Twilight, Hyper, Cognito and Finity are unlocked after reaching certain points of each game mode. When it is destroyed by a Power Gem, it detonates as well.īejeweled 2 features 9 game modes in total. When it reaches zero, the Time Bomb self-destructs, and destroys the 8 surrounding gems, similar to a Power Gem. A Bomb has a counter displaying on top of it that decreases it's number every time a match is made. Rocks cannot be matched and must be destroyed with a Power Gem or a Hyper Cube. When 5 gems or more are lined up in a row, a Hypercube is created, that can destroy all the gems of it's color present on the board when swapped.Įxclusive to the Puzzle, Cognito and Finity modes of the game are Rocks and Bombs. Power Gem detonations can trigger the effects of nearby Power Gems as well, and can destroy Hypercubes without triggering it's effects. When 4 gems are lined up in a row or when gems are lined up in a L, T or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the 9 gems that surround it when matched. When more than 3 gems are matched at once, the matched gems will merge to create a special gem that can destroy multiple gems at once. One of the major additions to Bejeweled 2 is the introduction of Special Gems. When a group of gems are cleared, more gems fall down from the board, which can produce cascades, leading to earning extra points. As with the original Bejeweled, the game is focused on arranging gems into lines of 3 or more to clear them from the board.
