the ones who are having the prblm  were you looking for a move because if you dont make a move every 2 SECONDS  THE MINER TAKES IT  DOESNT MATTER HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I have had the same problem of the 10 or so games I have played 4of them ended this way. It is very discouraging. I really love this game and hope this problem could be fixed somehow.

Stanley  had you made a move every 2 seconds  if you look in HOW TO PLAY  it says if you dont whether YOU HAVE TIME OR NOT  THE MINER WILL TAKE IT FROM YOU   thats why there is still people having high scores because they are making the moves every 2 seconds   DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND   if you go to another site and play it will happen if you dont move quick enough   geesh

YES!!! It is very frustrating. I have been in the middle of a game 3 time and it started shaking and ended as if the time was up, but I too still had half of my time left.
But it is a fun game!

A new version of Jewel Miner has been uploaded to Grab! This version should fix the problem that has been described. If no more moves are left, a message will appear describing the condition.

dear wp5avtrblthatsme, I admit I was ignorant and I didn't read the instructions how to play. Still there's no need to be rude.

dear Stanley
   I didnt mean to be rude  but I too didnt read the directions it was pointed out to me by someone else who had read them.  It wasnt the first time i posted what I knew that it is why the second time I said is anyone Listening ok  well now they really screwed the game with this bit about no more moves thats not right because if you have dynamite and you use it there will be a move   oh well  ill play my challenges but i wont just play the game and i thought it was a good one. Again I do apologize i didnt mean it rudely at all just wanted to be notice sry

The same thing happened to me Mary, so guess they must be having problems. I find I loose the web server connection at times as well. Anyone else?

If your game is freezing. but the timer is still running, the problem is most likely a problem with your PC. I used to have this problem fairly frequently before I added memory. Another thing that would cause it for me was the spyware type programs that download in the background. It used to drive me crazy. Since I added more memory, it's doing much better.

There are a variety of applications(shareware, freeware, or reasonably priced utilities) that will address these issues. I'll be happy to share the names of the applications that helped me if anyone's interested.

I think it must have to do with Jewel Scale. You have to make each match within 2.5 seconds of the one before, or the scale will revert. And when the scale is empty that's is when I think Joey and Hansel steal the jewels! Remember I think that is what is happening!

essie

the new version isnt any good because it says you have no turns left but if you have dynamite you can make a turn and it doesnt let you  time for grab to wake up and fix whats wrong. I think in the beginning was ok because after i learned about 2 second rule i never had the problem with the game ending thats what i think was the problem with all who still had time left but the game end you just didnt make a move in time

I have also had problems with the game freezing up after I reach the second mine. While waiting to see if it will unfreeze, I'm told that the game is over.

I haven't run across any glitches in the second mine, I just can't seem to beat it. The trick seems to be: hang on to all of your dinomite cause you're going to need it with the big rocks that are in the 2nd mine.

actually i cant play the game at all, i can get into the room and i can chat, but the game never loads for me. i just get a big ad that says grab.com on the left side of the screen where the game should be. i have no idea why. everytime i try to play it does this, i've basically given up.

I had that problem again today; I was getting ready to detonate one of my bombs to clear the last tile when the sign came up and said "Out of Moves"

I don't understand how I can be out of moves when all I needed to do was clear 1 square and I'd have finished the board. I didn't need a move to finish, I just needed to detonate my dynamite.
