Note: The ZIP contains the original version 1.0. The PRC is version 1.1 beta. You can discuss this program directly with the developer here in the mytreo.net Forum.
fivepointnine: Worked great until I got to the high score of the Timed version, and it froze my phone =(
lkemmler: Works great on my 650, and It's Free! Thanks
McGuireV10: Game mechanics are identical to Bejeweled, but scoring is simpler and it doesn't provide hints (although I personally never liked that). Unlike Bejeweled it seems you can find matches in this version virtually forever (I sometimes suspected Bejeweled had more than purely random numbers going on, and this strengthens my suspicions). Looks good though, and free is always nice -- I gladly paid about $5 for Bejeweled but there is no way I'm paying the ridiculous $20 or whatever they're asking now. The screen of an interrupted game doesn't refresh properly on my Treo 650, but I can quickly click around selecting invalid combos to force each grid-cell to repaint, and it works fine after that. (That was the 1.1 beta.) Looking forward to the updates.
david94112: It works...It's free. Thanks..
grit: rated 5 because it's 1/2 way there... crashes on high score page after Timed games.
Jelly: love it! if there's a hig score list... even better!
kbranch: No high scores yet, but I'll see about adding that to the next update. (Note: I don't really like rating my own software, so I just went with the current average.)
erikstreo: Great. Any way to save high scores?
mattymatt07: This is good stuff a little bit slower than Bejeweled but its free as can be so dont complain
AllGamer: Fun and adictive, just like the original one :)
Revision History
Fixed a few problems that occurred during and after the game finished.
Fixed the bug where pressing the menu button would cause a soft reset. I wasn't able to get the menu to work properly, so I just removed it.
Redid some of the graphics to cut the size of the Palm version almost in half.
