"Gem Board"

Think carefully: spin and drag the pieces in order to match the gems

Gem Spinner is an original gem matching game which actually presents some new features.

The game starts off as the typical matching game: you need to swap the jewels in order to obtain a match of three. But this time, there are some boundaries that don't allow you to swipe jewels between them. As an advantage, you can spin these pieces by tapping on them twice and also drag them to white spaces on the board.

The objective is to make matches, which will turn the cells dark. When a piece is totally dark, it just disappears and the final goal is near: complete the goal and try to clear the board completely

While the gameplay is really entertaining, the graphics could definitely use some enhancement. Tiny Bite Games is the developer of Gem Spinner free version with only a few levels and not being able to save your score. It will really make you think.

Developer's original description available here
"Goodness we thought Bejewelled was the best! Wrong- Gem Spinner IS :O) - I fought to get my 'phone after downloading Bejewelled. After loading GEM SPINNER, my phone is gone before I awake. I have to use the landline to make phone calls now.:O)) Get this- you won't be disappointed. Keeps you on your toes. Enjoy." -- Sunihugz

"great app - totally addictive and worth the money. seriously. nicely done" -- el bijouxe

"Now this really IS unique... - I haven't run into anything else like this...it's my favorite game, and I've tried close to 50 of them. Nice job!" -- ExcelGeek

"Great game - Great take on bejeweled, so much more engaging. Well worth the money." -- TechnoGirrl

"Best.Game.Ever. - If you're a match-3 fan, BUY THIS GAME. It's the most fun, intriguing, addicting game I've ever played. I play it every day without fail and never get bored or tired of it. I wish they would add more levels and also release a PC version of this game!! I love it!!" -- ck428

"[Gem Spinner] completely changes the whole dynamic of the match-3 formula, and in a good way that doesn’t come off as an attempt to be different just for the sake of being different. Real thought was put into the design of this game, both functionally and aesthetically, and it shows. There’s a genuinely entertaining game here with lasting appeal that brings some unexpected twists to the table — literally and figuratively — and adds a savory dash of logical thinking to this otherwise staid puzzle formula." -- frapstr.com

This is the free, lite version of Gem Spinner, which contains a reduced number of levels and does not save your scores.

Gem Spinner is match-3 like you’ve never played before! It’s based on the popular gem-swapping game play of Bejeweled, but adds some great twists – some like Tetris, some brand new – that make it much more engaging and thought provoking, but still easy to learn and play.

Gems are arranged inside of pieces of different shapes and sizes. Swap adjacent gems to match three in a row. Double-tap a gem to spin its piece 180 degrees. Match all the gems in a piece to clear the piece from the board. Drag pieces to empty board spaces to create more match opportunities. Match enough spaces to complete the level goal and then continue to swap, spin, and drag to try to clear the entire board.

Full version features:

• 35 unique levels which can be played at a variety of skill levels.
• Great graphics and sound effects.
• Optimized for minimal battery drain
• Animated, narrated instructions explain all aspects of game play.
• Practice mode available with hints on every move.
• Easy to learn, easy to play, hard to master.
• Tracks your best scores.

[IMPORTANT NOTE This game requires at least 320x480 screen resolution, so it does not work with low-resolution devices like the htc Wildfire. It also requires a device with a dedicated GPU.]
