Jewel Columns
Three-jewel columns keep falling — move them, cycle their order and match three in any direction.
About the game
Jewel Columns is a classic falling-jewel puzzle: drop three-gem columns, cycle their colors and line up matches horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Diagonals and chains multiply your score.
How to play
- A column of three jewels falls; move it sideways and cycle the jewels’ order.
- Three or more of a color in a row, column or diagonal clear; falling jewels can chain.
- Score = jewels × 10 × chain × level. Every 45 jewels raises the level and speed.
- The game ends when the middle column reaches the top.
Controls
Desktop: ← → move, ↑ / Space cycle jewels, ↓ drop faster. Mobile: drag sideways to move, tap to cycle, drag down to drop.
Tips for a high score
- Diagonal matches are easy to miss and great for chains.
- Keep the middle column low — new pieces spawn there.
- Cycling matters more than moving; check the order before it lands.
