Jelly Jiggle, developed by Hangar 18, is another puzzle app where strategy and speed is key to play well in this game. In this adventure, you are Jay Jello, a blue jelly cube, whose mission is to move cubes to their home base before time runs out. But, you are not alone− if you are struggling with any part of any level, you can use the Smart-Bombs and Portal power-ups and backtrack on any mistakes you make by clicking the Undo button. This game features 54 levels spanned across three worlds: Countryside, North Pole and Wild West.
Although there are not a vast amount of levels to play, the game is just as challenging as any other puzzle game, especially when get to Level 7 and beyond. That is where the game’s difficulty begins to pick up and can be frustrating if you don’t have a Portal power-up readily available. There are a few disadvantages to this app such as its limited use of the game’s central character and its subpar user-friendly capabilities.
First, Jelly Jiggle is not as user-friendly as it could be with its D-pad configuration. This game does not have the traditional North-South-East-West oriented directional pad. Instead, it uses an awkward NW-SW-NE-SE orientation that is difficult to handle at first. The app’s diagonal top-down view doesn’t do the game much justice either, even though you have the ability to rotate the map within each level.
Second, I have also noticed that this game does not fully utilize its main character, Jay Jello. You will see this gelatinous, jolly cube guide you through the cutscene tutorial stills during the first three levels. After that, the character seems to disappear during the actual game play. It’s like featuring the birds during the cutscenes in Angry Birds and playing with vague, colored shapes instead. If you’re going to write characters into the game, then they should be used throughout the game’s entire plot line, but I digress.
Jelly Jiggle is available to download for free in the Google Play store. However, if you are a big fan of the game, you can play Jelly Jiggle Pro for $3.55 USD. At this price, you will have access to every level in the game, find more hidden items, and get more power-ups. Aside from the issues I have mentioned, Jelly Jiggle will put your brain to work with its timed gameplay and tricky levels.
