Levels are unbalanced and some mechanics have been deformed of their usual functions, useless features, live system, and the usual mobile marketing, ads, and microtransactions. It copied Candy Crush, which is horrible considering Candy Crush copied Bejeweled. In 2016, Bejeweled Stars was released and it was a hot mess. After that, they released an update in 2018 for Blitz mobile (we call it Neo-Blitz) which divided part of the community. In 2011, Bejeweled Blitz PC servers have been killed in favor for the mobile Bejeweled Blitz. We have not had a proper Bejeweled sequel ever since Bejeweled 3 came out in 2010. Thanks for reminding me of the good old days.Īs a Bejeweled player since 2012, and a PVZ player since 2013, I can definitely say PopCap has been not entirely that great. I still have an entire collection for old time’s sake. Even if there’d be more games from other publishers, we’d always return to PopCap. PopCap definitely touched all generations instead of the kiddie demographic other casual gaming companies would. As for me, Heavy Weapon is my all-time favourite PopCap game and honestly with the crude tone of the game it could pass as a Newgrounds game. HECK, there were entire scoreboards on who’s Zuma or Bookworm Adventures were the highest. Eventually, the entire family including my aunt made use of the family computer we got from the office to play those games. We learned how to crack games based on the Shareware editions of the games, and spent whatever time we had grinding the heck out of those games. My dad pirated a lot of things, and one of those were the casual games by PopCap, and occasionally by GameHouse and BigFish. We grew up poor, as a result we never had any console game of any form until today.

Seeing this video felt like seeing an old friend, and that warms my heart so much.
