About
Bejeweled is a franchise originally developed by PopCap Games, later part of Electronic Arts (EA). Dijeweled Remastered is a fan-made recreation of PopCap/EA's Bejeweled franchise, built with GameMaker Studio, aiming to bring back the series' usual mechanics while adding new content such as multiplayer, new gems, and new game modes. The project has been in development for more than four years, evolving from an initial 'Dijeweled' release through 'Dijeweled Multiplayer' to its current 'Remastered' form.
How it differs from the original
Beyond the standard Bejeweled-style mechanics, the remake adds online multiplayer (via a separate dedicated server project), new gem types, and new game modes not part of the original games.
Getting started
The game can be downloaded from the project's GitHub releases; a separate dedicated server project is available for hosting multiplayer games.
History
The project has been worked on for more than four years, starting as 'Dijeweled', evolving into 'Dijeweled Multiplayer', and finally becoming 'Dijeweled Remastered'.
