The age old classic gets a new upgrade. Bejeweled Blitz is a lot like the originals, but better, in my opinion. You have one minute to score as many points as you can by moving gems around so that 3 or more gems are next to each other in a row or column. Before you start a new round, you can pick 1-3 “power-ups” to use. This app has Facebook integration and you have to sign in to use more than 1 “power-up”. There are 5 “power-ups” to pick from. The first is “Mystery Gem” that starts the game with a random special gem. The second is “Detonator” that detonates all special gems once per game. The third is “Scrambler” that scrambles all gems twice per game. The fourth is “+5 Seconds”, which adds 5 extra seconds to the game. The final “power-up” is “X2 Multiplier” that starts that game off with a multiplier gem. I give the the app 4 out of 5 stars because of the limitation with the amount of “power-ups” without signing in to Facebook. Definitely pick this app up if you love the classic nature of Bejeweled, but want a modern feel to your experience.
