Overview

《宝石迷阵3》以手绘的奇幻主题为特色，描绘了类似中世纪的地区和古老的土地，这与该系列之前已知的行星空间主题有所不同。

Bejeweled 3 evolves from the traditional Bejeweled gameplay. Being made during the same time as Blitz, Bejeweled 3 allows the player to make moves while gems are falling, and swapping two Hypercubes with each other performs the Annihilator, which destroys every gem on the board. The game also features the Star Gem (a variation of the Lightning Gem from Bejeweled Twist) , which is made by matching gems in a L, T, or + shape, and will destroy all the gems in it's row and column. Returning from Bejeweled Twist is the Supernova Gem, which is made by lining up six gems in a row, and destroys all gems in rows and columns in a 3x3 radius.

Additional game improvements include animated backgrounds, the replay system from Bejeweled Twist, advanced animation transitions, 3D menu areas, and online leaderboard support (for the Steam (friends only), Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions). Bejeweled 3 also features an achievement system in the form of Badges, which are obtained after completing certain objectives.

Game Modes

Bejeweled 3 features eight game modes, four of which are available from the start, and four of which are unlocked after reaching certain objectives. Unlike Bejeweled 2, the difficulty for unlocking each game mode has been reduced drastically and the objective for unlocking each game is now displayed directly on the menu.

Classic is considered to be the main mode of gameplay, where players must match gems to fill up a progress bar to reach the next level. The game ends when no more moves are possible.
Zen is an endless version of Classic Mode, where the player doesn't run out of moves and can play for as long as they want. A new addition includes Zen Options, which can toggle effects that can sooth the player.
Lightning is a fast-paced game mode where players collect as many points as they can in 1 minute. Along the way, there are Time Gems which extends the playing time for the next round with an increased multiplier.
Quest involves completing 40 different mini-quests to restore ancient relics. The 40 missions are divided into 5 relics of increasing difficulty.
Poker is a hidden mode where players have to match gems to form "hands" of cards to gain points. Certain hands will be disallowed from being made with generating skulls as the game progresses. If the player makes a hand that is marked with a skull, the player makes a coin flip and if the skull faces up, the game ends. It is unlocked when reaching level 5 in Classic.
Butterflies is a hidden mode where the player has to match as many butterflies flying up as they can before any one gets captured by a spider at the top. It is unlocked when the player reaches level 5 in Zen.
Ice Storm is a hidden mode where ice is climbing up the board. Players are thus tasked with crushing columns, the aim is to survive for as long as they can before the ice column hits the top and freeze the board. It is unlocked when the player earns at least 100,000 points in Lightning.
Diamond Mine is a hidden mode where the player collects treasure by digging underground. The player gains extra time by clearing the top-most rows. It is unlocked when the player reveals the first relic in Quest.

Development

Development of Bejeweled 3 began around 2008, around the time Bejeweled Twist had finished development. Development of the game lasted about 2 years^[1], and was developed alongside Bejeweled Blitz. Following the release of Bejeweled Twist, game designer Jason Kapalka thought Twist strayed a bit too far from the original gameplay and sought to have Bejeweled 3 as a return to the game's classic rules and play. Like Bejeweled 2, Bejeweled 3 was designed to keep the core gameplay while introducing new features to appeal new players and fans of the series. ^[2]

The game was silently announced through the official Bejeweled series' YouTube channel on October 29, 2010, and was announced by the press on November 1 , 2010. ^[1]
