Nice idea... – Jewel Swap Review

In theory this is an excellent game. See, I miss the old Diamond Mine game in the days before it became Bejeweled and was enhanced into a timed game with just a minute to achieve as many points as possible. I loved the ability to match glimmering jewels for potentially hours on end, at least until the playable matches ran out. How this game makes it: 1. It has the simple glistening jewels. 2. It doesn't seem to be a timed game. If I don't make any moves, I don't lose seconds off any clock I can see. How this misses: 1. The gameplay is bumpy. It takes a moment between one play for the next play to be recognized. 2. If there's no timer, then why does my game keep ending when I can still see possible matches on the board? 3. Related to the above, in this game's description, it says the game will only en when all possible matches are gone. My last game ended out from under me right as I was about to make a match of 3 purple gems. Like I said, nice game in theory, but for me it isn't going to work. Thanks for trying, but I'm going to make this a delete. Good luck with future updates.
