Jewel Hexa 2.0 4+

This game is the best. I used to play a game exactly like this about 10 years ago, and could never find another one like it!! I'm glad I found this one. Very fun!

I wish this had given the most basic Instructions. Finding what to me is a reincarnation of the first video game I learned to play and like, the one I spent long hours on the train and caused my Sega Game Gear to eat six AA batteries for two to three hours playing time (yes this was a VERY long time ago) caused me much joy. with instructions, I would have realized this wasn't 'just another match three game' and bought the game outright instead of battling ad after ad after ad - and often for games I already own!

I call it a reincarnation because only the 'classic' game is really the most columns-like and gets low marks for the gaming controls. The original left directional pad and right buttons for moving the jewels up or down in the order is considerably more efficient as this game really does need two hands to keep up in the higher levels. Two new modes of play are available though I haven't gotten around to those yet. : )

Lower the number of ads and change the configuration of the controls and I have no problem giving this game five stars!

This is a pretty good version of Columns. Some background music would go a long way when playing as it feels kind of empty without it.

I have small fingers but people with large fingers would probably have trouble with the default controls layout. Fortunately there is an option to change it.
