Explore a world of colorful jelly blocks that can be deformed and stuck together. Use them in surprising, unexpected ways to build clever contraptions and solve delightful puzzles.
The core mechanics are simple yet deceptively deep. Players can push, pull, and combine various types of jelly blocks, each with unique properties like stickiness, rigidity, and deformability. This seemingly straightforward premise opens up a vast space for creative problem-solving.
The puzzle design is exceptional, gradually ramping up in complexity. Early levels introduce the core mechanics, while later puzzles require outside-the-box thinking and a deep understanding of the jelly behaviors. Solving these mind-bending challenges leads to satisfying "aha!" moments, drawing comparisons to other acclaimed puzzle games like Baba Is You and Stephen's Sausage Roll.
The game expertly blends Sokoban-style block-pushing puzzles with more mechanical, lock-picking style challenges, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. Reviewers praise the pacing and progression, which introduces new jelly types and puzzle mechanics at a steady, well-crafted rate. The difficulty curve is nearly perfect, allowing players to progress without being forced to complete every single puzzle.
One of the standout aspects is the way the game encourages emergent creativity and problem-solving. Players delight in finding novel solutions, combining the simple mechanics in unexpected ways to create ingenious "contraptions" and tools. The level editor, while not without its flaws, allows players to put their newfound understanding of the jelly mechanics to the test by creating their own custom puzzles.
