As with the Bejeweled series, Bejeweled Blitz is based on the Shariki game mechanic. It developed into a downloadable game, based on the then-in-development Bejeweled 3 engine, due to popularity of the differences from Bejeweled 2 and its new graphics. When the game starts, it will skip the main menu and jump to the Blitz mode, please note the background is messed up this way.Bejeweled Blitz is a puzzle video game, originally a Facebook application which was developed and published by PopCap Games. The majority are the exact same as Bejeweled 3 but the majority don't really work, however the game has one unique. It's not friendly with commands using spaces, so use = instead. The game's executable mentions developer command lines for starting the game. There is code for executing SpikeMonkey.exe in the root of the game directory, after ending a Perf check, it writes a binary smstemp* file where * is a number like 8 and sends a command in this style SpikeMonkey.exe %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\smstemp* -t, such a file does not exist in the game directory. Developer text This is the message for hypers, powers, etc. "The Alchemist" refers to an earlier original song of his.

The music file (music/Bejeweled3_) contains some notes from composer Peter "Skaven" Hajba. The file were most likely built on the exact same date as the wrapper executable. It contains the majority of the symbols for the game, newer proprietary version of the commonly used framework and E-Commerce library. (Final version with new powerup selector), but as far as what's known among hackers, all unused materials are identical between versions.īejBlitz.pdb is present in the root of installation directories of the two newer versions of the game. You can extract the resources by using QuickBMS with this plugin. However, PopCap decided to focus on the Flash and iOS counterparts over the Windows counterpart, meaning that the Windows version was discontinued on September 7, 2011.Īs with most games made by PopCap, this game packs most of the resources to a single file named "main.pak". Those features were promised to be added sometime in 2011. It had better graphics than its Facebook Flash game counterpart, but lacked some features such as Rare Gems or Daily Spins. The players could collect coins to buy various powerups to help increase their score. The players are given only 60 seconds to score as many points as possible. The sequel was built directly upon this game. The PC version of Bejeweled Blitz was the fourth game of the popular match-3 puzzle series. As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications.
