    Deceptively simple, jewel quest can be very challenging on the higher levels, but constantly addictive throughout. [Jun 2006, p.64]

    And yet, one of the best things about Jewel Quest is its own obsessing with its silly backstory.

    Jewel Quest is about planning ahead rather than reacting; the pace is deliberate rather than manic. It's Chess next to Zoo Keeper's Operation.

    It's still a solid puzzle game. So if you've got the points, and you're bored of "Bejewelled," check out Jewel Quest.

    Jewel Quest sticks a little too close to the Bejeweled formula for its own good, but it does require you to master a different set of strategies.

    A solid, challenging puzzle experience, just extremely limited in terms of content. Also, if you don't like Bejeweled 2, don't bother with this one.

    Feels like an uphill climb against the odds. [Issue#6, p.120]
