Gem Swap
Swap neighboring gems to line up three — chain the biggest combos within 30 moves.
About the game
Gem Swap is a classic match-3 game on an 8×8 board. Line up three gems to clear them, set off chain reactions for multiplied points and create blasters that wipe out a whole row or column. With only 30 moves, squeezing out the highest score is the real challenge.
How to play
- Swap two adjacent gems to line up three or more of the same color in a row or column.
- Gems above fall into place, and new matches clear automatically as a chain — longer chains score more per gem.
- Matching four or more creates a striped blaster that clears its whole row or column when matched.
- You have 30 moves; swaps that don’t match are free. The game ends when moves run out.
Controls
Swipe a gem toward a neighbor to swap, or tap one gem and then an adjacent one.
Tips for a high score
- Make matches near the bottom — falling gems trigger more chains.
- If you can make four, don’t settle for three: blasters are worth far more.
- Get two blasters into one match to clear a cross shape.
