Five (four if the hidden Original mode is not counted) game modes are available from the start, while the secret game modes (Twilight, Hyper, Cognito and Finity) are unlocked after reaching specific benchmarks in each of the game modes. When it depletes to 0, it explodes similarly to the Power Gem.īejeweled 2 features several different gameplay modes. Bombs have a green numerical counter on it that decreases every move.

Rocks are solid objects that can't be matched, but can be destroyed using special gems. In the Puzzle, Cognito and Finity modes, two other gems also appear. When a match of five or more gems is made, a Hypercube is created, which destroys all gems of the swapped gem's color from the board. When four gems are matched at once, or when the player makes two matches in an L, T or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the eight gems that surround it when matched. If the player is unable to find a match, the player can use the Hint button to find an available match, at the cost of several points, or can wait several seconds for an automatic Hint feature to trigger without penalty.Ĭreating matches of four or more gems will create powered-up gems known as Special Gems. Sometimes, falling gems automatically line up, causing chain reactions. When three gems are lined up, they disappear, causing randomly generated gems to fall from the top to take the matched gems' place. Like its predecessor, Bejeweled 2 involves swapping two adjacent gems to form a line of three or more gems of the same color. The game was originally released on November 5, 2004, and has been ported to several platforms following its release, including game consoles, smartphones and in-flight entertainment services. Released as a sequel to Bejeweled, Bejeweled 2 introduces new game mechanics such as Special Gems and extra game modes, along with new visuals and sounds.

Bejeweled 2 (also referred as Bejeweled 2 Deluxe in some releases) is a tile-matching puzzle video game developed and published by PopCap Games.
