What players say

This is hands down the best Bejeweled game. I'm not kidding On the surface, the only thing changed are the gems spins clockwise now instead of the usual swap. But that simple rule change (and other rules to compensate that change) opened a whole new can of worms. And the challenges, oh boy, did they make you dive into the depth of the twist-style gameplay. This is the only Bejeweled game that made me so invested to...

very good game that more people need to play. I did have to do some things to get the game working since at first it would show a white screen for a second and then close automatically. But once I actually started playing I had a blast. Buy bejeweled twist for your mum, your pops, your granny, your girl, your pastor, your college janitor. BILLIONS MUST PLAY BEJEWELED TWIST
