4.0 out of 5 stars A match three (or more) puzzler that puts a new twist on the classic formula. As a bonus, this app requires NO permissions! August 25, 2012

By Samuel Mitchell TOP 500 REVIEWER

If you like match three games, you will enjoy Jewel Twist. It puts a new(ish) spin on the classic formula, and does so without requiring ANY permissions.

The point of the game is to match three or more adjacent tiles of a similar type and get rid of all the blue squares on the grid. By matching three (or more) of these tiles, you will destroy them, and any blue squares they occupy.

Rules follow those of Bejeweled, so getting rid of tiles makes new ones from above fall and take their place. Simple, yet effective. This can also lead to some pretty nice combos!

There are currently 100 puzzles (levels) to get through, and even though the first five are a breeze, starting with level six the game gets interesting. This is because it keeps throwing new obstacle at you that must be overcome in order to progress.

The graphics and sound, while both incredibly plain, are more than enough to provide an enjoyable experience. There are no fancy animations or soundtracks here, but the benefit is that the game client is small and runs on a wide range of hardware.

My only issue with the game is that it sometimes lags when I try to swap tiles (or doesn't register the move), and how the application installs itself (hides the main bulk of its size from the system).

I am really impressed at what Kristanix Studios has done here, and I absolutley love that the game requires no permissions. There is no Facebook sharing, Scoreloop, or OpenFeint here folks. This is gaming as it should be: simple, addicting, and without problems.

Go ahead and grab Jewel Twist while it's available for free, as the game is well worth the $.99 asking price.

Side note: There are a few error's on Amazon's store page.
First of all, this game requires NO permissions. There is also no incoming or outgoing traffic while the game is being played.
Secondly, the size on the download page is listed as 6.9MB. It is actually closer to 9MB.

3.0 out of 5 stars Made for TABLETS August 25, 2012

By Master RipRap

this odds a typical "Bejeweled" type of game, where you match 3 of the same type objects to remove them from the playing field. The pieces are just too small for phones, and I have a LARGE, 4.8 inch screen on my Galaxy S 3. So, if you have a tablet, you just found a game optimized for your device. ALL of those smaller than 7 inches, look elsewhere for your fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars needs a pause button August 26, 2012

I like the game, however, I don't like how it starts a puzzle over if you walk away or turn off the device mid way. A pause button would be helpful. I am using now Asus nexus 7 tablet.
