Time Bomb (Rapid Bomb, 急速炸弹, Jísù Zhàdàn in Chinese) is a mode that appears exclusively in the Chinese version of Bejeweled 3, along with Match Bomb. It is an endless variant of the Time Bomb II and IV mini-quests that appear in Quest mode. This mode involves attempting to destroy an endless amount of Bomb Gems that fall down on the board count down every second before their digits hit zero.
As with Match Bomb, the other bomb game mode, Time Bomb does not need to be unlocked by fulfilling any requirement.
Gameplay
See also: Match Bomb
Time Bomb largely follows the same gameplay as Match Bomb, with the major difference being that the Bomb Gems count down by one tick every second in real time.
Each Bomb Gem spawned starts with 60 seconds on its counter. As the player scores more points, the starting counter decreases, eventually spawning 15-second Bomb Gems at 2 million points scored.
- 60-second Bomb Gems spawn when the player's score is below 500,000 points.
- 45-second Bomb Gems spawn when the player's score is between 500,000 and 1,000,000 points.
- 30-second Bomb Gems spawn when the player's score is between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 points.
- 15-second Bomb Gems spawn when the player's score is above 2,000,000 points.
Additionally, the Speed Bonus and Blazing Speed mechanics are present in this mode.
The game ends when a Bomb Gem's counter reaches zero.
Trivia
- This mode, alongside Match Bomb are the only game modes to not have their own unique badges.
