If you like fast-paced match-three games then game developer Storm8 Studios has got just the game for you. Known for releases such as Dragon Story and Restaurant Story, Storm8 Studios comes with a new arcade game named Jewel Mania and it has been downloaded over ten million times with a rating of 3.8/5 on Google Play Store and a 4.5 star rating on iOS App Store.
The goal of Jewel Mania is to match threes. There are crystals on the screen which you need to match in threes and as simple as that sounds, it can get quite difficult later on in the game. Every level challenges you with different goals which you need to meet in a specific number of turns or in a pre-set time limit.
There are power-ups which you can purchase and use to advantage easier trough the levels. You can also connect with your friends on Facebook and see eachothers scores. This adds an extra challenge to Jewel Mania because you can actually compete with your real-life friends. Connecting to your Facebook will show which one of your friends also plays Jewel Mania and it lets you connect to random players as well. You will also receive forty gold bars which will be very useful to you in the game.
Every level has a different goal which you need to complete. For instance, some levels require you to have a certain amount of points but you have a limited amount of turns left. Other levels are limited by a timer so you need to match threes faster to complete those. The higher your score is in Jewel Mania, the better your rewards will be. You can complete your levels with a minimum of one star to a maximum of three stars. You get more stars when you finish a level with higher scores.
When you start playing Jewel Mania, you will have five energy bolts. You use one energy bolt for each level that you play, but if you play well and score many points and have at least two stars when you finish the level, you will be rewarded with another energy bolt. This way you assure yourself that you can keep playing without having to take a break for your energy bolts to replenish themselves. If you are unable to achieve high scores and do not get your energy bolt rewards, you can always refill your energy by spending ten gold bars. If you do not want to spend any money on Jewel Mania, you can wait thirty minutes for one energy bolt to replenish.
Next to getting energy bolts as rewards, you also receive silver coins. Silver coins are the basic currency of Jewel Mania. You will get an amount of silver coins for every level that you clear, but you even receive them if you lose a level. There are also gold bars which are the premium currency of the game. Gold bars are used to purchase things such as boosters to have a bigger advantage before you even start a level but also things like energy refills, so you do not have to wait for your energy bolts to replenish by waiting a few hours. At the start of the game you will have five hundred silver coins and ten gold bars. Besides purchasing gold bars, you can also earn them by successfully finishing your levels.
Jewel Mania In-game store
Like many free-to-play games, Jewel Mania also has an in-game store. In this store you can purchase either the basic currency silver coins or the premium currency gold bars. You can use these to purchase in-game boosters which will help you clear levels more easily but you can also replenish your energy bolts so you do not have to wait.
Prices for silver coins vary from $0,99 for the smallest package of 700 to $49,99 for the largest package of 42.000. Gold bars are more valuable so they are more expensive than silver coins. Prices for gold bars vary from $0,99 for the smallest package of 22 gold bars to $49,99 for the largest package of 1400 gold bars.
You can earn forty gold bars for free by connecting Jewel Mania with your Facebook account. This way you can also see which one of your friends are playing Jewel Mania and you can compare scores with them.
If you are playing the really addictive puzzle game Jewel Mania, then you know that there are in-game items you can purchase to help you through the game, and can help you get past tough levels. These items include coins, gold, and cash, but these purchases cost real money in the app store, and this gets expensive really quickly. We have decided to put out a free hack tool, which you can use on both Android and iOS devices to get unlimited amounts of coins, gold, and cash for free.
If you check out the image below, you will see how the Jewel Mania hack works, with the options menu being where you input the amounts of each item you want to add to your game.
All you have to do to get unlimited gold, cash, and coins is download the Jewel Mania hack tool, which takes about 30 seconds, and the hack generator automatically installs, which also takes about 30 seconds. You will then need to choose which device you are using, either iOS or Android, and then input how many coins, gold, and cash you want to add to your account.
Click “Start” to begin the gold, coins, and cash generator once you are ready, which takes about 45 seconds to complete. After the hack has finished working, all you have to do is open up Jewel Mania on your device, and you will see that the items have been added to your account. You can then use these items to help you through the game, and you can come back and use the hack tool as many times as you would like, all for free.
I have googled around to find Jewel Mania cheats and as it happens, I have found a couple of websites that claim they have working cheats for this game. I took the liberty to download and test these so called cheats for you guys, so you wouldn’t need to. Let me tell you that you do not want to download these programs. All these websites make you fill in a survey so they can profit off you and after that they let you download either fake cheats that do not work, or even worse, a nasty virus. You are better off following the next tips to improve your gameplay in Jewel Mania;
Before you can unlock the next levels in Jewel Mania, you need to have earned a certain amount of stars. You can earn up to three stars for each level. If you did not succeed in doing this the first time around, you can just replay that level over and over again until you do. Once you have a certain amount of stars, you can progress on the world map to the next set of levels. Each location on the world map has six levels. I would highly advice everyone to connect to Jewel Mania using your Facebook. You will be rewarded forty gold bars which will help you advantage through the levels more easily. You can connect with Facebook by tapping on the Facebook icon on the world map or in the settings menu.
In Jewel Mania, you have energy bolts which replenish at one bolt for every thirty minutes of waiting. If you run out of energy bolts, you cannot continue playing so you either have to wait for a while, or you can purchase five bolts with ten gold bars. Try your best at every level to earn either two or three stars, which will reward you with one energy bolt at the end of that level.
There are boosters available for purchase with silver coins or gold bars throughout the game. If you have a hard time completing a certain level, you can purchase boosters to help yourself out. You can either purchase them before you start a level or you can pause the game and purchase them during the level. You can only have three boosters per level at the same time and the boosters which are available for you are also different for each level. I would advise you to purchase a few boosters if you are stuck on a level for a long time. Beware that the boosters you purchase only count for that level and will not carry over to the next levels. You activate a booster by clicking on it while you are playing the level, but some boosters activate automatically so you do not have to worry about that.
You start off Jewel Mania with a few levels where the game is being explained to you by the cute dog. The dog guides you through the basics of the game and helps you on your way. I think these levels are essential for beginner and casual mobile gamers since Jewel Mania is not just about matching three crystals, there are other things to consider such as special crystals that appear when you make different kinds of combinations. The developers did a good job to add this tutorial to the game at the beginning of your gameplay. After you finish the first few levels and get the hang of the game, you are shown the world map where you select the next level to play it.
Another nice aspect about Jewel Mania is the challenge. Your goal remains the same for every level, which is to get as many points as possible and receiving those three stars. The means of achieving your goal differs with every level. Some levels give you a limit on the amount of turns you can use during that level and other levels have a time limit. The further you progress through Jewel Mania, the harder it becomes to get to your goal. You can also connect with your friends on Facebook and challenge each other to get the highest score possible. I like when games challenge you, and Jewel Mania does a good job at that.
Unfortunately there is also a negative aspects about Jewel Mania. The first one being that you are being limited by energy bolts. I found myself playing Jewel Mania for an hour and because the levels got harder, I could not earn any energy bolts, so I was forced to either wait thirty minutes for one bolt to regenerate or I could of course use gold bars to regenerate five energy bolts. Many developers started doing this to make people spend real money in their games and while this would be okay because Jewel Mania is a free-to-play game, they should at least bring down the price or the waiting time a little bit.
One last note I would like to add in my review about Jewel Mania is that I did not see any advertisement throughout my while gameplay. This means that Jewel Mania is either ad-free or only shows ads rarely. I think this is very positive because free-to-play games tend to have a lot of ads scattered around the game screen and Jewel Mania did not have this.
Artwork: I give Jewel Mania a 9/10 for its artwork. The graphics in Jewel Mania are absolutely gorgeous. They are cartoonish and are very detailed. The level build-up, crystals and even the characters in the background are animated beautifully. When you make combos or match special crystals, you get nice “lightning” effects which add a positive vibe to the game. When you successfully complete a level, a cute dog will appear and lick the screen and let’s face it, who does not like cute animated dogs running at your screen and giving you a lick!
Music & SFX: I give Jewel Mania an 8/10 for its music and SFX. The soundtrack at the world map and during gameplay really fits the theme and in my opinion, it sounded beautiful. It really adds to the fantasy world which you find yourself in. The SFX are also of high quality and you can find them at many places throughout the game, such as matching-threes, making combos, winning the level and even losing the level. I think the developers did a pretty good job here and spend much time combining the soundtracks with SFX in Jewel Mania.
Story & Originality: I give Jewel Mania a 6/10 for its story and originality. While it is nice to have a bit of story with the boy, girl and their cute dog, Jewel Mania lacks originality. There are literally dozens of match-three games and they all claim to be the best. While Jewel Mania does stick out of the bunch, the developers could have added more original content to differ from the other games.
General Gameplay: I give Jewel Mania an 8/10 for general gameplay. In the first few levels, the game gets explained to you which covers the basics of the game itself. Jewel Mania plays smooth and it is clear what your objectives are. You get challenged at every level differently, either by limited turns or limited time to finish that certain level. It is also nice that the game does not go easy on you in late-game gameplay.
Addictiveness: I give Jewel Mania a 7/10 for addictiveness. Because the game is well build and the graphics are beautiful, you get a feeling of wanting to progress through the levels to see what kind of challenge you will face next. Unfortunately you are limited with energy bolts which make you wait thirty minutes for one bolt to regenerate. This limits you dramatically but if you have the patience, you can wait it out easily. If you do not have the patience, you can use gold bars to replenish your energy bolts and keep on playing.
All things considered, I give Jewel Mania a 8/10.
