I used to play this all the time while my buddy behind played Doom. I thought this was called Bricks--but bricks is a stupid game and thats not what I am talking about. It also is not bejeweled--although the jewels look similar.
OKAY--in this game, you had the ability to move colored Jewels--so that at the end all were destroyed (similar colors come together and annhilate). If you were left with 1 jewel, then you were screwed because that could not be destroyed. The game had many levels and in some levels, the entire structure flipped. I remember in 1 particular difficult level, you made the jewel ride up an elavator and drop it and it got destroyed in mid-flight. It was a beautiful game because at some levels it was like chess--you really had to figure out strategies and stuff.
Unfortunately I do not remember the name, I thought it was called BRICKS--but the bricks I find on-line is a stupid kiddish game.
PLEASE HELP ME FIND THAT GAME I loved that game. I played it around 1995-97

I know the game of which you refer. I believe I have it somewhere, stored on backup, as a reminder of good times. I would spend hours playing that game, working on time sensitive puzzles that involved lasers, pre-set moving blocks, pits of lava and water, and countless other hazards.
The name you have is correct in pronounciation, but not in spelling. I'm not certain of the speling, but I believe it was Brix, thats BRIX, not bricks.
It was a simple DOS based application, that would run fine on a pentium 1, or in windows. However it was very challenging and depite my bset efforts to win, I never made it all the way through the network of possible puzzles: the ones in the last row are about as hard as a blind person playing speed chess. No mistakes! Near the end of my tether I was resorting to copying the layout of all the brix onto paper and solving it in my head before moving a single brick (Pressing pause brought up another screen that made the play impossible to see so I needed some static medium for strategising).
I remember how addictive it was. after the 100th attempt at a hard puzzle I would give up, and swear I would never touch the game again, but my love of puzzles brought me back every time, and I just never had the heart to delete it (till the day fate did it for me and corupted my hard drive irreparably. I was devestated, having lost $1000's worth of games that would be playable without the source CD - I downloaded decrypt game hacks).
If I give you the means to get the game again, you'll become just as addicted as I was, and that wouldn't be healthy, so despite the risk of having you report me for not answering your question, I'm going to leave my answer at a name:

BRIX
