Bejeweled Stars Is Out And It's Pure Mobile Heroin

Last week PopCap launched Bejeweled Stars which is their latest free-to-play mobile puzzler that takes everything we all love about match three games and brings it up a notch. Bejeweled is a classic game and this latest entry does it justice while realizing that other games like Candy Crush have dominated this space for quite some time. I was never a huge Candy Crush player, it just never really was something I enjoyed playing for very long but Bejeweled Stars seems to have a special something about it I really like.

If you despise the free-to-play mobile virtual currency pay to get power ups model this game won't be for you. There are a ton of ways they use to get you... Read All

Two Dots killed me on that lives model where you have to wait to play. @scrypt knows what I'm talking about.

Two Dots can burn in hell.

Hahahaha, not sure I've quite experienced anything like that with this one but I'll let you know if I do.

So I was right. Scrypt DOES know what I'm talking about. :D

Yeah seriously, it was painful when you get to the high levels and you get stuck on one for literally days because you can only play 15 minutes a day.

With Bejeweled Stars, they have effectively found every sight and sound that is stimulating to gamers, and put it all in one game. If this was VR, I would never leave. Currently at level 11.

OK I'll try it. If scrypt (who got as annoyed with Two Dots as I did) likes it, I might.

I standby my virtual heroin comment. This may be one of the most polished games I've played.

Having quite a hard time with level 41. If anyone gets that far and has any tips for beating it, let me know.

I just matched a cosmic cube and a star gem. OMG. They should have sent a poet...

Hypercube, sorry. Also, Dark Spheres?!!

Yeah, there are a lot of different pieces to keep track of. I keep forgetting what clears entire lines. I like the ones that zap all the pieces off the screen though, those are really handy.

Stuck on level 51. Here is where I get annoyed with games like this. Near impossible to clear without special items. Bleh.

Of course. I just passed it. I was stuck on that level since yesterday. Maybe I just needed to bitch about it ;).

I agree, things get really hard. I am on 48 and I find that if I just keep coming back and plugging away I can make it through.

So, apparently I'm immune to the Bejeweled magic. I remember people freaking out about it back at the turn of the century, back when it was just PopCap, and I tried it. Didn't stick with it.

I got to level 10 or 11 on Bejeweled Stars, and... yeah I just don't care that much about the gameplay. I haven't even gotten to a point where I could get annoyed by the pay-for-lives model.

Good for me, since there are games that will eat up time coming out or recently released. :D

Far Harbor and Doom?

And Terraria, yep!
