## Description

Ultimate Jewel is an exotic-themed match-3 puzzle game with 1000 levels across 10 stages. Clear tiles by matching 3 or more jewels of the same color, and unleash bombs and a fireball to power through tough boards while collecting stars and the golden key to advance to the next stage.

Choose Puzzle mode to test your skills or Zen mode for a relaxed experience. Special combos activate bombs (and two bombs in any color for a bigger blast) and the fireball clears an entire color, with stage navigation on the selection screen allowing you to revisit earlier stages for more stars.
