This art attack comes with cute, smiley faces as multicoloured Jellies obliterate a succession of intricate mosaics in a test of both strategy and skill. The ingenious Jelly Busters is one of those games that looks simple at first, but quickly proves itself to be deceptively challenging. It’s also a whole lot of chilled-out fun.
What we love: In each level, you must blast away mosaics by unleashing Jellies who skate around each picture on a conveyor. Sounds a doddle, right? Well, each Jelly can only remove tiles of its own colour and can only deliver a limited number of hits before it expires. To make things even trickier, only five are allowed on the conveyor at once, they don’t become available until they reach the front of the queue and, even then, waiting room for active Jellies is restricted. Run out of slots and it’s game over, so it’s handy to know there are boosters available to help keep those Jellies blasting tiles.
Quick tip: Aim to get each Jelly out of the game as quickly as possible. Jellies with lower hit counts should take priority on the conveyor – assuming, of course, there are tiles of the right colour to shoot. You can also use the Merger booster to turn multiple Jellies into one.
