Fairy Jewels

In Brief

A decent bubble shooter clone, worth downloading. Despite it's age I had no issues running it on a recently built system with Win 10 Pro. The resolution of the game is quite low, but it still looks decent on a mid range monitor (25'').

In the days when giants, goblins and other creatures lived next to humans, there was a dark castle. In front of this dark castle there was a hayfield where little fairies were dancing and flying around. But an evil wizard captured all the adorable fairies and locked them in his dark castle. Now you have to free all the fairies to bring them back to fairyland.

The Game

Shoot gems from the gem cannon to create matches of three or more gems. The mouse controls the movement of the cannon. Free all the trapped fairies to complete a level, which must be completed within a certain time. There are over 180 levels to complete. Bonuses t drop occasionally; shoot these to earn bonuses to help complete a level. If you fail to make a match multiple crystals will appear of the colour that you fired. To free a fairy hit it with any colour gem. You can swap between two gems from the cannon by clicking the middle mouse button

From the options menu you can elect full colour or toggle it off. The main difference I noted was the How to Play Screen showed demonstrations of what you needed to do to complete the level whereas when the full colour was toggled off the How to Play only showed a brief description of how to play (see the two 'How to Play' images below).

On the breaking glass (2nd ) level hitting the glass baubles that constantly rain down will cancel out the gem. This is a useful tool in getting rid of unwanted gems.

The latest freebie from Epic Games is the excellent space strategy game Galactic Civilizations III.
