Before we get into the important details, you'd most certainly want to know what this game is. Sci-Jewel is a sci-fi match-3 strategy puzzle game(yes, we know that's a mouthful) that acts as a spiritual successor to the Bejeweled franchise. The game aims to revitalize the original formula that modern games of the genre fail to establish, and bring match-3 back to it's proper roots. Sci-Jewel will have 18 single player and multiplayer modes combined, 90+ achievements for players to collect, a massive soundtrack with over 80 songs, and so much more!
A bit of a word of warning: This game description is also an active info archive, so it will be long!
The normal modes of the game. Good for practicing, learning the basics, or both!
The bonus modes of the game. These are intended for more skillful play.
The VS. Mode Experience. Sci-Jewel is better when your friends join along with the action!
Special Gems act as powerups for the player and can be created in through Special Matches. These gems allow players to clear out an entire row of gems or help them in the most dire of situations!
No game would be complete without it's features! Take this section with a grain of salt though, as we're still working out how these features will work and which ones will be in the game.
Can't seem to find a move? Try clicking the hint button! The game will give you a hint on where a match is, but do be warned...some hints can be evil. You will also lose some points if you force a hint.
Auto-Hints are enabled by default and will show the player where a match is if they're sitting around for a long duration. This can be disabled in the settings menu.
Sci-Jewel embraces the Bejeweled tradition of players being able to swap gems while other gems are falling, which was introduced in the third mainline Bejeweled entry and Blitz. With the exception of a few Objectives within Discovery Mode, Multi-Swap is used in every aspect of the game.
The action the player performs when creating a Special Gem is called a Special Match. If the player chains two or more Special Matches, they'll earn a Match Chain Bonus. This bonus acts as a score multiplier and will earn the player more points than if the match was made regularly. Upon achieving the Match Chain Bonus, UI will appear with the text, "Match Chain x1", with the number and score multiplier increasing if the player keeps the chain going.
When the player performs a cool trick or cascade, then they'll be able to view an instant replay. Something the original Bejeweled trilogy lacked was the ability to save and properly view your replays. With Sci-Jewel, all replays that you view in-game can be found in a dedicated menu aptly named "Replay Sector".
In all parts of the game where a replay can be viewed, players will have the option to save a viewed replay. Replays that are saved will be placed in a separate section(Saved Replays) in the Replay Sector menu and will not be automatically deleted when Replay History overflows. Replays can also be saved when viewed from within the Replay Sector menu.
Note: A maximum of 100 replays can remain in the Replay History section and a maximum of 500 replays can be saved to Saved Replays section.
During an initial playthrough of Sci-Jewel, the player will be prompted to create a profile. With a profile, players can properly save their game progress and unlock achievements. Multiple profiles will be supported with a limit of up to 10 profiles per device. Mobile devices support up to 3 profiles at a time. Players can backup their profile data through the Additional Profile Settings menu.
There are over 90 achievements in Sci-Jewel, and each one contains a unique clear requirement. Players can check their progress on certain achievements or see completed achievements via a dedicated "Trophy Room" menu.
As players advance through the first few modes, they'll unlock a menu titled "Music Library". This menu is where users can play any song from the game without having to worry about in-game gimmicks or sound effects. Playlists can also be made and shared among other profiles.
Workstation is a dedicated menu for players to make, import and export content in Sci-Jewel.
A menu for learning info about everything in the game. As players progress in the game, they'll uncover more details surrounding the game's mechanics, Special Gems, and so much more! This menu is also a main focus of Discovery Mode, as clearing Objectives uncovers mysteries and other info about the game's story.
When players open the Gemography menu during their initial playthrough, they will notice that it's, well, empty. The game recognizes this and recommends that "the player should play through the game a bit more so they can uncover more details about the game".
All of the game's details are separated into categories with each section containing info that the player might have not known about.
Well, that's about it for stuff about the game for now...
but there's more stuff to come as the Sci-Jewel archival dump has just begun!
