Description

Jewels is a simple, yet quite polished and fun match-3 puzzle game. It's somewhat addictive, do try it out! :)

See below for explanation on the permissions, thanks!

NOTE: If you get errors about package file not being signed correctly when updating, try updating again later. Alternatively, you can uninstall and reinstall the game. Not sure why these occur, it is signed as before.

Features:
- Global, cross-platform leaderboards (Scoreloop) -- compete with players around the world!
- Nice, clean graphics and smooth game play
- Four game modes: Normal, Timed, Quick and Infinite

ALSO AVAILABLE FOR THE iOS: iJewels

TIP for tablet devices: Disable the Sprite filtering from Settings to speed up the game if it feels sluggish. It will be uglier, but works faster. :)

ABOUT REQUIRED PERMISSIONS:
- Internet Access: Jewels needs internet access for global high scores and ads

- Read Phone State And Identity: required for the Scoreloop integration, and is used solely to assign device ID to the Scoreloop profile. Jewels does NOT access phone calls or other information apart from the device ID.

- Discover Known Accounts: is only used to make it easier for you (by prepopulating your email address) to sign up to hear about updates for Jewels and information on my upcoming games. This is completely optional and we do not use the permission for anything else in the application.

- View Network State: Jewels checks if internet connection is up and enableds/disables online features as appropriate
