Profiles

If you play Campaign Mode you can create profile to begin campaign or use one from existing to continue. Profile stores player's name and campaign progress.

Campaign mode

Your journey begins from the small Step Pyramid and runs through seven Egyptian Pyramids. Each pyramid has several rooms with closed doors. To open each door you must gather a mosaic tiles from mystical lock and put them together. Every pyramid holds a magic crystal. Using seven crystals you will get into the very heart of the Great Cheops Pyramid and enter a Pharaoh's Treasury. Your jewelry lust will be surely satisfied!



Burst the gems by grouping them to three or more in a row (or a column) before time runs out. Your must take all mosaic tiles to the lowest row.

If you’ve burst four or more gems in a row, a bonus gem will appear. In campaign mode new bonuses become available as your journey goes.

Bonus gems

Horizontal Blast: When it is activated the whole line of gems will be destroyed

Vertical Blast: When it is activated the whole column of gems will be destroyed

Bomb Blast: Destroys 3x3 gems around bomb

Chameleon Time Stone: If it is surrounded by 2 ore more gems of one kind it turns into a gem of that color. After its destruction some time will be added.

Ice Stone: Turns gem into freezer. When it is destroyed screen will be frozen. During several seconds you can freely exchange gems of any kind.

Destroyer: Turns gem into destroyer. Causes chain reaction: when this gem is destroyed all gems of this kind will be destroyed as well.

Magic Ball: When activated creates three random bonuses.

Pick Hammer

It becomes available when a blue stripe under the hammer picture starts blinking. You can use the hammer to destroy any gem on the field.

Big Bang

This powerful thing flies to a random place and destroys some gems around. Destruction radius depends on Big Bang level: Big Bang, Extra Big Bang, or Super Big Bang. In campaign mode you can activate it once per game.

Survival mode

Rules are the same, but your aim is to get as much score points as possible. Each burst gem gives you some extra game time. Gradually new gems and bonuses become available and the time reward decreases a little. BigBang is available after 300 points. You can use it or wait until it reaches a higher level (Extra BigBang, Super BigBang). A green stripe over BigBang displays its progress.
Completed mosaic gives three minutes of extra time and 500 game points.

"Safe start" feature

If your phone have been running for a long time, about a week or so, Android may behave strange. It became laggy and doesn't wait for apps to save their data. As a result when you exit game by HOME button and then restart it, game may read wrong data and "force close" dialog may appear.
To avoid "force close" dialog next time start the game holding trackball button before it loads completely, then release trackball. In this case game "forgets" previous unsuccessful saving and loads menu.
