Endless, as the name implies, never runs out of moves and the player may play as long as he/she wants.

Puzzle Mode contains 80 puzzles, each being split into 16 different planets with 5 puzzles each. Puzzle involves the player attempting to clear a stage by clearing all the gems from the board.The game ends when the bar completely recedes. The bar must be filled completely to complete a level. The player must make matches to increment the bar. Action plays in a similar fashion to Classic mode, except the bar retracts when a move is not made.The game ends when no more moves can be made. In Classic Mode, the player makes matches to score points and to fill the bar at the bottom to complete the level. Classic is considered to be the main mode of the game.Classic, Action, Puzzle, Endless, and Original (which is hidden) are available from the start, while Twilight, Hyper, Cognito and Finity are unlocked after reaching certain points of each game mode. When it is destroyed by a Power Gem, it detonates as well.īejeweled 2 features 9 game modes in total. When it reaches zero, the Time Bomb self-destructs, and destroys the 8 surrounding gems, similar to a Power Gem.

A Bomb has a counter displaying on top of it that decreases it's number every time a match is made. Rocks cannot be matched and must be destroyed with a Power Gem or a Hyper Cube. When 5 gems or more are lined up in a row, a Hyper Cube is created, that can destroy all the gems of it's color present on the board when swapped.Įxclusive to the Puzzle, Cognito and Finity modes of the game are Rocks and Bombs. Power Gem detonations can trigger the effects of nearby Power Gems as well, and can destroy Hyper Cubes without triggering it's effects. When 4 gems are lined up in a row or when gems are lined up in a L, T or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the 9 gems that surround it when matched. When more than 3 gems are matched at once, the matched gems will merge to create a special gem that can destroy multiple gems at once. One of the major additions to Bejeweled 2 is the introduction of Special Gems. When a group of gems are cleared, more gems fall from above, which can produce cascades as they create matches of their own, earning extra points. As with the original Bejeweled, the game is focused on arranging gems into lines of 3 or more to clear them from the board.
