Bubble Shooter Temple Jewels is a bubble-popping game. Deep in the jungles of Central America, the player removes rows of glyph-marked jewels blocking the view of ancient temple ruins. They also try to earn the highest possible score across Novice, Expert and Master difficulty levels.
The game features a classic bubble shooter setup with hanging mixed bubbles, an arrow shooter, a main projectile, a preview projectile and five penalty pass bubbles. It requires the player to remove three or more matching connected bubbles at a time with direct or angled side-wall shots and avalanche moves.
If the player fails to make a match five times, the game drops one to three rows of new bubbles onto the screen. Each time this happens, they lose a pass the next go-round. After they use the last one, they receive five new passes for the next round.
Bubble Shooter Temple Jewels displays the player's ongoing score in the upper-center area, their all-time-best one in the upper-left area, and the difficulty level and main menu buttons in the upper-right area. The player can adjust the difficulty level using the main menu as well. The three-line button also gives them access to a Stats button that shows their best, current and previous scores across difficulty levels, a sound-adjustment button and an option to restart at any time.
