I've spent some time playing the new Bejeweled Blitz Beta game, and it's a wild ride!

I'll have more to say about it soon, but get ready for a whole new game vocabulary. Pretty soon you'll be talking "flames," "stars," "rainbows," and "amazing speed" instead of power gems and hypercubes.

At the end of your one-minute game, gain additional points during the "last hurrah," where any remaining multipliers, flames, stars and rainbows are exploded.

And for those of you who have a problem with the addiction level of the original Bejewled Blitz, I have bad news for you. The new game is just as addictive!

I'll be adding Blitz Beta strategy tips to my Bejeweled Blitz and Bejeweled 2 guides very soon!

P.S. Here's a tip for the new game: it's easy to get caught up in creating flames, stars and rainbows, but keep in mind that getting and matching multipliers are still the key to the highest scores!
