This review of Genies & Gems contains the following information:
25 levels were played.
In this puzzle game the player needs to shift and match different coloured gems in order to collect points and treasures, to create special game booster gems, and to make the game character Trix the Fox move forward toward a treasure box. In each level the goal has to be reached within a certain amount of moves, otherwise a life is lost.
Strategic thinking helps to collect more points and reach the level's goal within fewer moves. When all lives are used up, the app repeatedly urges the player to either receive lives by connecting with Facebook, or to make in-app purchases to receive more lives straight away. Alternatively, the player needs to wait for a certain amount of time for lives to refill. There are frequent pop-up ads promoting in-app purchases (often using incentives like discounts, special offers), related apps and connecting to Facebook, which need to be declined and closed manually. The game is therefore not considered suitable for young children and parental guidance is recommended for children aged 9-12.
