Gweled is a clone of the popular Bejeweled puzzle game, and comes complete with music and sound effects (and controls to turn them off). It has both timed and untimed play modes, tracks your highest score, and will save and restore your game if you have to take a break for less important activities like sleeping and eating.

Developer's Description
Gweled is a Gnome version of a popular PalmOS/Windows/Java game called "Bejeweled" or "Diamond Mine". The aim of the game is to make alignment of 3 or more gems, both vertically or horizontally by swapping adjacent gems. The game ends when there are no possible moves left.

Versions
Stable, Latest (extras)
Gweled v0.4.3

Gweled has a few options: you can change the type of game from timed to untimed by clicking on the clock icon, disable and enable music by clicking the musical note icon, and completely mute the sound by clicking the speaker icon. The game is automatically saved when you exit, which can be done with the exit button or the Space key.

Warning: There is currently a problem with the media player that causes games with sound to lock up on exit if media player is active.

Changes from last version:

• Medium font size added and used for game messages.
• There is now an animation at game end and a 3 second delay before mouse input starts a new game.
• Increased active area for quit and restart buttons.
• Changed quit hotkey from Backspace to Space to allow switching away in untimed mode.
• Changed icon to winner of poll: green emerald.
