PopCap Games today announced the launch of Bejeweled Twist Mobile, a faithful adaptation of the highly acclaimed PC game -- now the deepest, most attractive puzzle game to hit the wireless market.  The game is available now on a wide array of handsets from major North American and European wireless carriers.  

PopCap’s fourth in-house title for mobile, Bejeweled Twist puts a completely new spin on the top-selling puzzle franchise of the 21st century. Since its launch on the PC late last year, and over the past month as an exclusive release on Verizon Wireless phones, Bejeweled Twist has been a top-seller at retail and on wireless.  

Bejeweled Twist features a revolutionary new style of play and the highest production values of any casual game ever created -- removing the barriers of traditional match-3 games. Instead of swapping adjacent jewels to make a set, players rotate an entire 2x2 block of gems clockwise in an effort to create a line of three or more gems of the same type. Additionally, in Bejeweled Twist, players don’t have to make a match with every move – instead they can freely rotate gems anywhere on the board, allowing far greater liberty of movement and vastly increased strategic freedom to plan combinations, cascades and chains.

Beyond the completely different method of moving gems, Bejeweled Twist provides a wealth of new power-ups and obstacles.  New gem types include Flame, Lightning and Fruit gems that produce fiery explosions and other powerful effects; and new obstacles such as Bomb and Locked gems as well as Coal will challenge players as never before. In addition, four game modes (Classic, Blitz, Challenge and Zen) offer vastly different ways to experience Bejeweled Twist.  The game will also offer touch support on compatible phones.
