Embark On A Medieval Match-Three Puzzle Adventure In Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor
June 8, 2013
The first episode in Konig Studios' Jewel Thieves series of match-three games has been released on iOS, and it's called Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor.
Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor offers a new match-three gaming experience with its physics-based engine, different play modes, and varied power-up system.
Unlike most other games in the genre, Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor doesn't feature grid-based match-three gameplay. Rather, it features a playing screen in which pieces, jewels in this case, move and flow depending on your actions. It's actually quite reminiscent of the physics-based behavior of the pearls in the undersea match-three game Atlantis: Pearls of the Deep.
Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor also features three game modes, namely, Adventure, Lightning, and Zen.
In Adventure mode, you have to collect the target number of jewels for each of the mode's 90 levels. In Lightning mode, which is shown in the video below, you have to match as many jewels as you can within 60 seconds. And in Zen mode, you get to take things slow as new jewels fall only when you make a move.

The game also has a power-up system consisting of six types of boosters:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later, Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor is available now in the App Store for free. Note that playing Jewel Thieves: Knight's Armor requires keys, which are used to enter a level in Adventure mode or a round in Lightning and Zen mode. You can earn free keys either by completing levels and rounds or by waiting for your stock of keys to be automatically replenished over time. Alternatively, you can get more keys via in-app purchase.
