Alawar releases a new gem for casual game fans.

Dale City, Va. - July 13, 2005 - Just as diamonds are

a girl's best friend, magic gems are the delight of

game players everywhere. Magic Gem, a new

downloadable game from Alawar Entertainment,

challenges logic and arcade action fans to match three

or more gems of the same color as they rain from the

sky and collect at the bottom of the screen.

A stunning fantasy world filled with magical life

forms sets the stage for the enjoyable and addictive

gameplay. As you line up gems using your mouse, you

release coins that fill a status bar. When the bar is

full, you win the level and advance to the next stage.

Special gems release one of seven powerups, such as a

lightning strike that will take out an entire column

of gems and a bomb that can clear away a trouble spot.

Whether you want a relaxing color matching game or a

fast-paced test of skill, Magic Gem has three speeds

tailored to your preference. No matter which speed you

choose, however, you'll have to react quickly to

capture pickups and bonus points as they rise to the

top of the display.

Alawar packed Magic Gem with dazzling animation and

audio in an effort to make the game look and sound as

good as it plays.

What you get:

  • Eight hand-drawn backgrounds
  • Two gameplay modes: Quest and Survival
  • Three difficulty levels ranging from Easy to Hard
  • Seven kinds of bonuses
  • Free updates and technical support

Visit www.alawar.com to view screenshots and download the free trial version of Magic Gem. You can also

purchase the full version of Magic Gem online for

$19.95.
