The Treasures of Montezuma

The Treasures of Montezuma is another rendition of Bejeweled which has players solving "match 3" puzzles while following a non-interactive adventure storyline. The objective during the tile matching games is to collect all of the sparkling gems in a level before the time runs out on the ticking pocket watch. The number needed for the level is displayed above the main grid. Swap one stone at a time by choosing a pair, which trade places with a click, slowly eliminating all those which contain gemstones. The entire board can be shuffled twice and hints can be purchased for the cost of points. The number of gems needed to clear a stage increases by increments of five for each level, maxing out at 200. Therefore, the player needs to work much faster and wiser in later levels to get all of the gems. Luckily there are power-ups that are activated with the golden stars earned when each level is solved. Aztec statue totems in six colors and other modifiers take action in the level when two identical color tile matches are done by the player. The Fire Totem (red) bombs bunches of tiles, for example, while the Time Totem (orange) adds time to the countdown clock.
