Gameplay and Controls
Basic Matching
In the gem grid, click and drag adjacent (horizontally or vertically) gems. Match 3 or more gems of the same color and shape in a line to eliminate them. For example, with the pink gems in the screenshots, drag to make a match - 3.
Special Elimination
Matching 4 or more gems creates special items (like the potential special gems in the screenshots). Activate these to trigger area - wide eliminations (e.g., clearing a row, column, or a specific region) for easier level - beating.
Using Props
Auxiliary props (such as the rotation - type ones in the screenshots) appear on the left or specific spots. Click a prop and select the target area to get out of tough elimination situations and handle complex level layouts.
Level - Clearing Goals
Keep an eye on the “Moves” limit on the left. Within the given moves, complete tasks like collecting a certain number of gems (the red and blue gem collection targets shown on the left in the screenshots) to clear the level and unlock new ones.
Game Guide
Jewel Maya Game Strategy
Basic Gameplay and Core Logic
In *Jewel Maya*, the basic rule is to swap adjacent jewels so that 3 or more jewels of the same color form a line to complete elimination. Each successful elimination not only clears the jewels but also creates new layout possibilities for subsequent operations. Always pay attention to eliminable jewel combinations, as this is the foundation for progressing through levels.
Efficient Elimination Techniques
(1) Aim for “Multi - Elimination” Combinations
When you spot 4 or more same - colored jewels that can form a line, prioritize making such eliminations. As hinted in the screenshot with “Match more than three for a special surprise”, multi - eliminations generate special items (like explosive jewels, line - clearing jewels, etc.). These can clear large areas at once, helping you quickly achieve level objectives. They are especially effective when a large number of specific jewels need to be eliminated.
(2) Plan Moves and Objectives
Pay attention to the “Moves” (step limit) on the left. Combine it with the types and quantities of jewels required to be collected in the level (such as the need to collect red and blue jewels in the screenshot) to plan the elimination path in advance. Prioritize combinations close to the target jewels that can trigger chain eliminations. Avoid wasteful moves that don't contribute to the goal, ensuring you complete the collection task before running out of moves.
Prop Usage Strategies
Auxiliary props (such as rotation - type props) in the game should be used at critical moments. For example, when the layout reaches a dead end, it's difficult to gather specific - colored jewels for elimination, or there's a need to quickly clear obstacles (like locked grids), use props to break the situation. Don't waste them casually; save them for the latter half of levels where moves are tight and objectives are hard to achieve to help complete the challenge.
Key Points for Level Progression
(1) Early - Stage Levels (Beginner Phase)
Focus on getting familiar with the operations. Try out different elimination combinations and master the rules for generating special props through multi - eliminations. Accumulate hands - on experience through simple levels, and remember the chain reactions after eliminating various jewels to lay the foundation for subsequent complex levels.
(2) Mid - to - Late - Stage Levels (Challenge Phase)
Level layouts become more complex, often featuring locked grids and diverse collection objectives. At this point, combine multi - eliminations, props, and move planning. Prioritize unlocking locked areas (by eliminating surrounding jewels or using props) to expand the operation space; simultaneously, take care of collecting multiple types of jewels. Use chain eliminations to advance multiple objectives at once for efficient level - clearing.
Long - Term Gameplay Suggestions
(1)Replay Levels to Accumulate Experience**: When stuck on a level, replay completed levels to familiarize yourself with elimination strategies for different layouts. Improve your operational proficiency and planning ability.
(2) Pay Attention to Game Details**: Notice the changes in jewel - elimination sounds and effects, as they can help judge elimination results. The music rhythm can also match your operation rhythm for smoother eliminations.
By following this strategy, whether you're a newbie getting started quickly or an experienced player breaking through difficult levels, you can enjoy the elimination fun in the Mayan jewel world of *Jewel Maya* and clear levels with ease!
