It looks like the Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook has been changed (and improved IMHO). Higher scores are easier to get now.

From my observation, when I played it before,it was impossible to get a 3X gem if you had not matched or exploded the 2X gem. Now you can get multiple 2X gems, and when one is matched or exploded, the next 2X gem on the board becomes a 3X gem, and so on.

However, in the previous version, it was a little easier to match the 2X gem that you got, so in this version, maneuvering the gem into place is more important.

The 2X, 3X, 4X gems are not based on getting a big score with a move; otherwise, you would get one every time you used a hypercube. I think it's a combination of the speed in making moves combined with the number of cascades the moves make.

 PopCap is having a drawing based on your Facebook Team scores in a few days,  so grab your Facebook friends and combine your scores. Any time one of your Facebook friends plays Bejeweled Blitz, their highest score is added to your team score.

So far, my high score is 247,200. I haven't come close to that since I made it, but I have had a few scores in the 150,000-165,000 range.

Try it! You'll like it! :-)
