Gem JamColor Block Puzzle

Slide jelly gems out through the gate of their color, race players online and bring Pip's mine back to life.

Easy to pick up,
tricky to master

Every block slides only as far as the board allows, so the order of your moves is everything.

  1. Slide a block

    Drag a jelly gem wherever there is room. Walls and other blocks stop it.

  2. Find its gate

    Each block leaves the board through the crystal gate of its own color.

  3. Clear the jam

    Empty the board before the timer runs out to win the level and up to three stars.

Use Tab to pick a block and the arrow keys to slide it.
