Overview[]

A Fruit Gem is earned when either the Chain Meter is maxed out or a Mega Fruit Bonus is received. At this point, which replaces it with either a normal gem or at the higher priority, a Bomb Gem or Locked Gem.

When detonated, similar to the Hypercube; a Fruit Gem will remove all locks, and destroy all gems and Bomb Gems of its own color. In addition, other Fruit Gems of the same color will explode like the effect of a Flame Gem and award double the base point value compared to the initial Fruit Gem that was detonated.

Detonated Fruit Gems will extend all Bomb and Doom Gems' counters by 10. This applies even if a Bomb Gem ticks down to zero when a Fruit Gem is detonated.

Strategies and Tips[]

It's the only Special Gem appears in 3 modes, Zen, Classic and Blitz by only maxing out x10 multiplier in the game.

On Classic Mode, created Fruit Gems won't change their color; upon level completion, the Fruit Gem will instead appear in a different position at the start of a new level. This doesn't in Zen mode since the gems and Special Gems do not shuffle after completing a level. If a second Fruit Gem is detonated, the "Mega Bonus" challenge will not reset back to "Bonus" challenge. However, this is a risky move on higher levels.

If a Bomb Gem of the same color is destroyed by a Fruit Gem of the same color, the player will not be given the extra notch.

Making a double or triple match will double or triple the points of a Fruit Gem detonation, which can be useful to rack up a lot of points and pass levels quickly.

If the player has two of the same colored Fruit Gems, the second Fruit Gem will act like a Flame Gem, with twice the base points given compared to the Fruit Gem that was detonated. Be careful to not have two of the same colored gems on the board, because it could decrease player's survivability in their run, especially in the mobile version, where the second Fruit Gem does nothing but disappears. In the rare event where a match clears two Fruit Gems of the same color, the Fruit Gem closest to the top left corner will clear the board of all gems of the Fruit Gem's color and the other Fruit Gems will act like a Flame Gem.

When a x10 multiplier is maxed out completely in both Classic and Blitz Modes, the Chain Meter will target Bomb Gems (if their counter is below 10) with the lowest counter and turn it into a Fruit Gem, awarding the player a small amount of points as well. The same applies to Locked Gems (only in Classic Mode). In the rare event where two Bomb Gems are on the same counter, the Bomb Gem closest to the top left corner will turn into a Fruit Gem. The same applies for multiple Locked Gems assuming there are no Bomb Gems that have a counter of 9 or less.
