What is it?
Jewel Legend is a real-time 1v1 match-3 duel: the points you clear come off your opponent’s HP. Drop them to zero first, or have more HP when the 3 minutes end.
Lines, L-shapes, fives and squares make special gems, and potions heal you. Practice against the AI any time.
If you grew up on games like Bejeweled, Jewel Legend turns the same swap-and-match idea into match 3 PvP. The twist among jewel games online is mana: every swap costs 25, while new specials and cascades pay some back, so chains keep you moving. Challenge a friend by room code, or take on the daily board.
Jewel Legend is a real-time duel on two 8×8 match-3 boards with six gem colours. In online matches both players start from the same seed, so the opening board is identical. Whatever you clear becomes damage at 0.3 per point: a plain three is 30 points, 9 damage off a 1,000 HP bar. Cascade steps score ×1.3, ×1.6 and so on up to ×4.0, but no swap deals more than 200, so a K.O. takes at least five moves.
The twist is mana. The bar holds 100, a swap costs 25 and it refills at 12 a second: four moves in a burst, then about one every two seconds. Swaps that make no match slide back for free, and well-built moves pay mana back, so building specials and chains keeps you moving while spamming threes runs you dry.
Your board fills the bottom of a portrait screen; your rival's plays live in a small window above. Matches last three minutes; without a K.O., remaining HP decides, and the last 30 seconds are Rush Time.

How to play
- In the lobby, press 'Practice vs AI' to start a round against the AI; the tutorial comes with it the first time. Press 'Find opponent' to play a person.
- Push a gem toward a neighbouring tile to swap them and line up three of a kind. Wait a moment and two glowing tiles show a hint.
- Each move costs mana, which refills over time. Chains and special gems give some of it back.
- Match 4 or more to make a special gem (line gem, bomb, colour bomb, potion gem); swapping two specials makes a much bigger blast.
- Low on HP? Drink a potion from the slots below. No good moves? Shuffle the board. Each can be used once per match.
Modes
- Practice vs AI
- Three minutes against an AI that tunes itself so you win about 55% of matches; your first round adds a five-step tutorial and no clock. The rival's rank, Novice I to Legend III, is on its name tag.
- Find opponent

Good to know

- 'Daily challenge' is a 3-minute round against the AI on the same board for everyone, played for score.
- Special gems and combos are listed under 'How to play' in the lobby. During AI practice the round pauses while this window is open.
