The game even comes with other genres like the brick shooter, snake vs blocks and stack jump games. So if you are looking for a certain mobile game app that you can confidently play anytime and anywhere you want to, Block Gems is definitely a perfect candidate. Feel free to explore this game and see what else Block Gems has to offer.

The Gameplay

The gameplay will vary depending on your chosen game. Block Gems serves as a one-stop portal of some of the most engaging and entertaining puzzle games that will surely put your skills and knowledge on a test. The mechanics for all the games offered by Block Gems are generally simple and easily manageable yet despite the apparent simplicity the players are still strongly encouraged to establish the best strategy to maximize their winnings. Currently, the game offers 9 different campaigns to explore. Each of them comes with their own objectives.

Block Gems is one of the nine games you can play from this app and since it carries the main title, it is safe to assume that this is their main campaign. Interestingly, Block Gems works similarly with the classic block puzzle game. It prompts you to a standard 8×8 grid screen and you will be given with three randomly generated puzzle pieces at a time. The goal is to get the highest score possible by creating as many full straight lines as possible. To do so, simply drag and drop the puzzle pieces on the board and assemble them strategically to form straight lines either horizontally or vertically aligned on the board to score. Interestingly, you can also take advantage of the consumable powerups which you can obtain in exchange of gold coins.

Combine, Stack Six, Hex Jigsaw, and Pop Jewels

Aside from the Block Gems campaign, you can also explore other equally-engaging games. The Combine mode is a challenging and tricky puzzle. As what the title suggests, your goal in this game is to combine tiles by matching them with their numbers to form another tile of a bigger value. If you know how 2048 works, then this game follows the same format except for the fact that you will be prompted into a hexagonal board. If you place two tiles of the same value adjacent to each other, they will merge automatically and form a new tile with bigger value. The game will continue until there are no spaces left to move.

Stack Six is quite unique. It takes you to a huge stack of various shapes. On top of the pile is a hexagon and you must prevent it to fall at all costs. To start the game, you simply tap the blocks on the pile and try to bring the hexagon down at the very bottom. If the hexagon falls down, the game will also come to a quick end. Hex Jigsaw, on the other hand, is a tangram puzzle. The goal is to drag and drop the puzzle pieces on the given board and fit them all perfectly to clear the level. This campaign comes with four levels of difficulties. Pop Jewels is a Match 2 puzzle. It prompts you to a huge pile of blocks. The goal is to reach your target score by clearing off as many tiles as possible. Simply match and tap two or more tiles of the same color to progress.

2048 Card, Brick Hit, Stack Jump, and Snake Vs Brick

If you think you already had enough, well, Block Gems has so much more to offer. Aside from the aforementioned games, you can also explore other addictive campaigns. The 2048 Card is basically a tricky card game. As what the title suggests, the game works the same with the classic 2048 puzzle but instead of blocks, you are dealing with cards. It’s like a merge between a 2048 game and a Klondike solitaire. Brick Hit, on the other hand, is a brick shooter game. You simply shoot the bricks with your balls until you clear them off. It comes with two modes; Level and Endless.

Stack Jump is an interesting one. If you have played Voodoo’s Stack Jump, this game works exactly the same. The goal is to help your character reach the top by jumping from one stack to another. If the character falls down, the game will come to a quick end. Last but definitely not the least is the Snake Vs Brick. Again, the game works similarly with Voodoo’s Snake Vs Block. It features a snake avatar and your goal is to pass through all blocks and survive. Much like the one published by Voodoo, this game is inspired by the classic Snake but it is done and played with a unique twist.
