The Queen's Jewel

You control the rotation of the entire outer ring of gems, shifting them one space at a time either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The core action is lining up three or more gems of the same color, either in the rotating outer ring or by sliding entire columns of gems inward toward the centerpiece. Each match you make feeds points into the central jewel, gradually powering it up. The levels progress as you fully charge this jewel, and the pace steadily increases, introducing new gem colors and tighter time constraints. It creates a quiet tension, where a single thoughtful rotation can set off a chain reaction and save the round. The game feels like a patient, deliberate dance with color and geometry.
