Casual Game - Jewel Quest

Jewel Quest is a puzzle game where you have to line up 3 or more items that are the same. The lines can be formed in any direction besides diagonal directions. You can only move an item one space at a time, to the left, right, up or down, but no diagonal movements. When you move an item, it is swapped with another item occupying the space where you are moving it to. Also, an item can only be moved if the move will form a line of 3 items of the same kind.



And that is the whole game. The aim is to get line 3 or more items of the same type on every square of the grid. The items are always replaced, so you can never actually finish the game within the time limit.

I found this game very enjoyable to actually. It's simple but effective and fun and I can people playing this game for hours on end.

There isn't a huge amount of concentration required. All the player has to do is look out for potential lines of 3 or more of the items. The time limit seems to be about 2 minutes (it doesn't actually tell you), so you never feel rushed either.

The game can be immersive, has you try to get as many points as possible.

No skill is really required, only the ability to see the items and count to 3 really.

The game has no narrative and is single player only so has no social interaction involved either.
