Report an issueRune Gems is a unique style match 3 puzzle game. Pick up color tile creating 3 matches. It’s really that simple, but it’s a neat and unique approach to the match 3 genre that we think you’re going to like. it’s neither a Bejeweled nor a Diamond Dash clone, instead of having more in common with Mahjong/Shanghai than anything else. ----------------------------------------------- How to play: ● you have on your screen a tray holding 7 tiles that are populated from a game board. ● You tap a tile to make it go into your tray. The goal is to match every three colored tiles as quickly as possible from the game board, lest you fill up your 7 tile tray without any matching 3. ● Once you fail to have a matching group after putting down 7 tiles, you’ve failed. ----------------------------------------------- Rune Gems Features: ● The tiles are colorful and have a gemstone appearance to them. each tile board is different and varies from one to the next, giving the game a different flair for every level you play. ● Rune Gems is one of those games that’s perfect for picking up and playing for just a minute or two, or for a long time to waste the day away. Grab it and see how far you can get. ● Players have optional use of both “magic” and “time” runes to help them — the former automatically picks a good gem to take, while the latter allows for an “undo.” ----------------------------------------------- A little trick: Since a grouping can NEVER be more than 3, is to simply match as many triplets as fast as possible for an escalating speed combo bonus...but be careful, if in your haste you end up tapping on 4 red pieces, that 4th piece will now sit on the tray clogging stuff up until you find it two more partners. So always be mindful of what you put on the tray and make sure you can match it off quickly or letting it clog the flow up a bit is worth it if it is blocking your access to many other tiles underneath. ----------------------------------------------- Reviews: “A match 3 puzzle game set on a Majong style puzzle game board.” - Appsaga.com “Rune Gems is an excellent, well-presented game, friendly to both long and short play sessions.” - insidemobileapps.com “The whole game is well executed and we really love to tap on one of the runes, for the animation is so smooth.” - fun2tap.com ----------------------------------------------- if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us: http://starsprite.com/
Have fun & enjoying Rune Gems!

8 of 15I updated my review. Awesome game. And yes, all levels are beatable because I’ve done it. So keep trying. Now I just wish the developer would add more levels! I’m honestly not sure if they’ve just given up on this game or what because it’s been a long time since any updates. But if you’re thinking about getting this game do so. You’ll love it even if some levels are very challenging.
Well after playing for a while, this game is just super frustrating. Not only can you not turn off the annoying music, but levels are just not possible to pass. I’ve been playing the same level for two days and it’s just not possible to get thru, you never get the one tile you need to make a match. Along with the music, why does the guy have to say “completed” after each level? That is, if you’re lucky enough to actually get through it. Also, no need for the “ready, go” at the start of each level. Like I said, day two of the same impossible level...and i could do without “ready go”. Omg how do you off the annoying music without muting the entire game???
Can’t even begin to imagine how many hours I’ve spent beating this game over and over. It always ends the same way - three stars every level except one, and on that one I can’t get even one. Beat the level, yes. Earn stars? Nope... Wonderful game. Wish there were more like it..
i love it. i hope the developers update it eventually to add more levels and stuff. also would be nice to be able to play it in portrait mode.
Great game- so much fun and challenging.
It took a few years but I finally finished all levels with three stars! The last couple of stars each took months, but were finally conquered. Hint: play with sound off till you have gotten good at it, then put sound on to help you gauge if you are going fast enough. Thanks to developers for a great game.
Love the game, colorful, a challenge and different!
The game itself is fun. So far, I have 2 issues. 1- there is no way to earn hints/help/restart. The only way is to buy them using real $. I’m ok with watching a video to earn like 3 of each. Or find a way for us to earn more. 2-some levels are too hard to earn 3 stars in such a short time (without using the hint/help). Other easier levels, I took my time, & still got 3 stars! It seems the harder levels should give more time to earn 3 stars. 3- take some lessons from the tile masters game app. That one is very good I think.
