[2] Unlike previous games in the series, Bejeweled Stars is centered around the completion of levels, similar to Candy Crush Saga.

Corvus the StormCrow creates a powerful object in the PowerLab that accidentally shatters the constellations in the sky, scattering the stars across the land.

Unlike previous entries in the series, Bejeweled Stars involves the use of completing levels with different goals, with a limited number of moves the player is allowed to perform.

A level is lost when the move count reaches zero or a butterfly escapes the game board.

Players may win unlimited life awards on certain occasions that turns the lives bar to gold, granting infinite play for a short period of time.

Occasionally during gameplay, special normal gems known as SkyGems appear on the board, which can be collected as ingredients to use in the PowerLab.

Once a power begins creating, the player must wait until it completes, or can watch an advertisement or spend coins to hurry the creation.

Additional features include collectibles known as Emojis (known as Charms in earlier versions), which are used for the player's bio and to answer Yama's questions, a loot-box system known as the Surprise Chicken, and a daily-altering challenge.
