Bejeweled Dogz

The Bejeweled Dogz

Why this?

When I was younger, one of the games I used to play a lot for no real reason was Bejeweled for HTML5, back when I used Chrome (eww) and it was on the Chrome Web Store (remember that thing?). The Chrome Web Store is also where I got my very first taste of Angry Birds, which may come up again in the future.

Bejeweled for HTML5 is, of course, just a watered-down port of Bejeweled 3, something I only realized when I got Bejeweled 3 for Nintendo DS (well, technically I had a 3DS, but it's a DS game) and recognized the background.

Bejeweled's existence probably wouldn't mean a whole lot to me if it weren't for two things:

  1. The soundtrack slaps even to this day (thanks Peter Hajba and Alexander Brandon), and
  2. It inspired a whole ton of content for my stuff I have over at Owlkalinity, namely the country/island of Jémsæa.

So, I decided to "honour" Bejeweled 3's contributions to my furry nonsense by making a set of dogz based off of the seven colours of gems in that game!

The seven gems as seen in Bejeweled 3, being red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white.

The Dogz

Seven identical-looking dogz with different colours and symbols above their heads. The first, Ruby, is red and has a square. The second, Amber, is orange and has a hexagon. The third, Topaz, is yellow and has a diamond. The fourth, Emerald, is green and has an octagon. The fifth, Sapphire, is blue and has a pentagon. The sixth, Amethyst, is purple and has a triangle. The seventh, Diamond, is white and has a circle.

Bejeweled has never been consistent in what they call their gems, but I went with the Bejeweled Stars names, so meet Ruby, Amber, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Diamond! (Based off Bejeweled 2 internal names instead, they'd be Garnet, Citrine, Jade, Peridot, Diamond, Agate, and Pearl, lol.) They use Andi@Cirrutopia's palette "cirrainbow2"!

The Playscenes

I also decided to take three of the backgrounds from Bejeweled 3 and turn them into playscenes! I hate how the "midair" perspective leaves so little ground to work with, but they're still fun and surprisingly Petzy!

The aforementioned seven dogz run around a playscene with a lion statue overlooking a waterfall. The player waters a daisy on the statue's head.  The aforementioned seven dogz run around a playscene with a horse statue and forest in the distance.
