Project Stargem: Twinkle

A classic match-3 game for the Game Boy Color, made to be picked up and played whenever you feel like matching some gems. If you love Bejeweled or Candy Crush, I’m sure you’ll love PROJECT STARGEM: Twinkle!

Remember the first time you played Tetris? It was so simple, and yet surprisingly hard. I got that same feeling the first time I played Bejeweled, and match-3 games have had a hold on me ever since.
