Jewel Aquarium is a browser-based puzzle game that runs instantly, with nothing to install. The core of it is match 3, merge and retro & arcade. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Jewel Aquarium
This ocean is full of rare fish and other sea creatures! Match and combine them to craft exploding ones! It can help you crush through blocks standing in your way. The classic turn-based match-3 arcade with lots of challenging levels and modes awaits you!
How to play Jewel Aquarium
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Swap adjacent tiles |
| Left click / drag | Make a match |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
