About Gem Match
The match-three classic with no timer breathing down your neck. Swap two neighbouring gems to line up three or more of a kind and watch them burst, with fresh gems tumbling in to trigger chain reactions. Each level sets a target score and gives you a fixed number of moves, so the trick is finding the swaps that set up cascades. Spare moves at the end of a level turn into bonus points.
How to Play
Tap a gem, then tap a neighbour to swap them (or just drag). Line up 3 or more of the same gem in a row or column to clear them. Four and five in a row score extra. Reach the target before your moves run out. Chain reactions score more, and leftover moves become bonus points.
💡 Tips & Strategy
Look for moves at the bottom of the board first. Clearing low gems drops everything above them, which triggers cascades that score without costing a move — the single biggest lever in match-three.
A four-in-a-row is worth far more than two threes, so if you spot three matching gems with a gap, look for the swap that fills it rather than clearing a nearby three immediately.
Don't use a move on a match that scores the minimum when a better setup is one swap away. With a fixed move budget, every swap needs to earn at least 40–50 points on average to keep pace with the target.
When the target is close, stop building and cash in: any match finishes the level, and leftover moves convert to bonus points. And when the board looks dead, remember the game reshuffles automatically — you never lose a move to a stuck board.
