When playing Bejeweled, your goal is to make as many points as you can during your play on the board. As simple as the game is, there are tactics you can employ to make your play a little more strategic and optimized for gaining winning scores.

Time Trials

When you’re playing against a limited time, it’s best to attack moves from the bottom. Try to get your combinations from the bottom gems instead of from the top. This will give you more chances of scoring more points with the same move. When gems match up from the lower areas, the gems on top of them will go down, giving you chances to get more three-in-a-rows with only a single move.

Regular Play

In regular play, it is best to play combinations from the top.

Even though scoring will be slower, playing with focus on the highest gems has been a guaranteed way to increase the length of play. Focusing on the top-level combinations allows you to see relationships quickly as you don’t have to bother with analyzing the rest of the stack as usually happens unconsciously when you play for the bottom gems.

Good luck playing.

Tile City is a game where you match mahjong tiles by pairs to remove them from the board.? You start the game with 108 tiles placed at random.? Matching and subsequently removing all 108 tiles will end the game with you winning.

Blockwerx is played on a 12 by 15 playing area which fills with bricks of various colors. This is another variation of the three-in-a-row games like Chuzzle and Bejeweled.

A few bricks will initially appear to start the game. New bricks will appear as the game progresses through the “staging line” below the playing area. Once this line is filled, the staging line is promoted, raising your wall of bricks by one row.

To remove bricks, just click on any brick which is part of a chain of three or more bricks of the same color. Bricks much touch side-to-side or top-to-bottom. Diagonal bricks are not counted.

Bonus points are awarded when you clear the screen of all bricks.

You get poin deductions for mistakenly clicking on bricks that are not part of a continuous chain. The game ends when your top brick is already to a wall and the staging area gets filled.

Overall a good game but not as fun as either Bejeweled or Chuzzle. Should be a nice break from either one of those, at the least.

There are special bricks that can appear in the game:

• Stone Bricks - These are gray bricks that cannot be removed by linking with any blocks. They can only be removed by using a black bomb.
• Colored Bombs - A colored bomb will remove all bricks in the board that is of the same color.
• Black Bombs - A block bomb will destroy all the bricks that are touching it.
• Rockets - Rockets will launch and destroy any brick in its direction.
• The Scrambler - Scramblers are a way to get out of a bad situation in the game. It will automatically rearrange all the bricks on the board at random.
• Rainbow Bombs - Rainbow bombs can destroy any color of brick of your choosing.

In this game, you are given three buckets each of 16 colors located along the right side of your game window. You also have three special tools:

• Balloon: This creates a splatter of color which is the same color as the area you drop the balloon in
• Eyedropper: This gives you a fourth bucket of whatever color you choose. You must use the tool immediatelyor the paint will dry.
• Paintbrush: Lets you draw a line of color between any two pixels. It will take the color of the starting pixel.
