Lightbulb Gem Juggle tips :)

just a few things i've figured out since the game was released.

scoring:
  • minimum score is +15 for 3 gems, then +40 for 4, +75 for 5, +120 for 6, etc. (maybe +175 for 7?)
  • double head arrows take out one row or column for +100. quad head arrows take out both an entire row and column.
  • the gem bunch adds +100 to the gems it takes out (+10 for the 2 to make the minimum of 3 = +110).
  • the mining hat takes out a bunch for +150.
  • the pick axe takes out up to 8 gems for +200.
  • rocks aren't just there to take up space; i've seen an arrow take out 2 for a total of +300, so i think they may be worth +100 each

tips:
  • i think someone else noticed this too, but you don't have to click+click to swap gems; you can click+drag instead. i find that to be a little faster myself. maybe Vidia contributed the feature.
  • if you're working on the high score badge, don't forget to use the special items when you get the chance. also, while you have to get a certain number of one or two gems on higher levels, if you have the time, try to get matches other than the ones the game wants. think of it kind of like Petal Pick-up when it only wants one kind of petal.
  • once you have the high score badge, if you want to get the other three badges right away, play the first 1 or 2 royal levels. you only need to get about 3505 points in order to also get 10 talent skill points. 100 games x 10 points = 1000 points, plus 500 while getting the high score badge = 1500 talent skill points, which is like another entire talent skill level. might as well multi-task.
  • be careful with the mining hat, it may take out special items!
  • the gem bunch seems to match not only multiple gems, but in multiple directions at the same time.
  • if the pick axe is on the edge, move it in towards the center instead of along the edge, otherwise you'll only take out 5 gems instead of 8; and don't move it into a corner, or you'll only take out 3.
  • arrows can take out rocks. they can't take out frozen gems, but if you use an arrow on the same row or column as a frozen gem, you'll unfreeze the frozen gem.
  • use arrows before some of the others, but watch out that you don't wipe out another special item when you do. also note that you don't have to drag the arrows in the same direction they point.
  • not specific to this, but while you're working on badges, don't forget to let your pet out and check on it every 5 minutes or so until you get your gifts.
  • ...and don't update tips while the timer is still running!

I also notced that the click+drag option works faster; found it out while playing Bejeweled and tried it in Gem Juggler too!

You are right about the Rocks Littlebell.... if you remove them (by taking them to the bottom or by using the arrows) they are worth 100 points each.

Okay, maybe I am being daft here but I am having a difficult time figuring what the 'Gems Bonus' is. Is it based on a cascade? Bonuses from collecting more than three at a shot? I have tried to figure it out but there are times I have gotten a cascade and the gems bonus was very low and other times I got very few matches that were more than three and got a bonus of several hundred points. I am very confused...

Hmm... I'm not exactly sure. You're not talking about the Time Bonus, right?
All I know is that you receive more points when you make matches with over 3 gems. Also, the special bonuses (the rainbow gem, the pick-axe and mining hat) give extra points as well.
Maybe the cascade that was shorter had more matches with more than 3 gems?

I thought I was a pretty good gem juggler until I looked at the scores on the leaderboard! Wow! Those are impressive! I believe the high score is somewhere around 236,000. I usually score around 180,000. What am I missing? How do you achieve those kind of high scores? I've read all the helpful hints and I think I get the bonus almost every level. I might miss a couple. Any suggestions and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Some things I use/do to get my score higher....

I try to focus on the lower gem bunches, because I enjoy the cascade that is often caused by them.

As Twilight mentioned on another thread, when the level starts requesting a certain color gem(s) I try to find the other matches first. Be mindful of the time clock though or you will miss the bonus. (I don't use this trick on level 28 because those purple gems don't seem to like me.)

Once you start getting these I have found that if I don't use them right away and try to get 2 or more to use on the same match you get more points. Just make sure that you don't try to save them and then accidentally get all the gems you need and not use it.

If there is a mining hat I try to use a pick ax or a arrow to get rid of them rather than use them as you still get the points but don't have to worry about them accidentally removing one of the other bonus items.

Hi all,

I have a few different tips.
1. use Blooming Cliffs server--- I get my best scores there.
2. meet these goals
a. 4000 plus by lvl 1
b. 8000 plus by lvl 2
c. 20,000 plus by level 5
d. 90,000 plus by lvl 20
if you haven't met these goals---quit and start over.
3. after lvl 20 make a few ''extra'' matches, but I have found that the time
bonus out scores the ''extra'' matches and will easily put you over
200,000 by level 49.
4. use the bonus gems as much and as quickly as you can. The bulk by
level 9.
5. use single and double arrows to take out rocks, frozen gems and
other specialty items as many as you can in only one move.
6. try your best to NOT take 3 of a kind. It is only worth 15 points
and it puts you three closer to finishing. Best to take six gems or
better, at all times, if possible.

These tips have helped me. Scarlet Sunjewels' best score is 217,***


p.s. Best of luck to all who will try for the trophy.
