Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of innovative mechanics and frustrating design choices. While the jelly-pushing mechanic and control scheme are praised for their cleverness and potential for fun with friends, issues like intrusive menus, camera shake distractions, and content gating detract from the overall experience. The game offers new modes that build on classic mechanics, but some players feel it artificially prolongs engagement.
“Definitely recommend to anyone looking to master some completely new and exciting game mechanics with their friends!”
“Each of the new game modes, race and hit & go, use the same mechanics as the classic mode but offer new twists and allow players to refine their jelly handling techniques to remain victorious.”
“The jelly-pushing mechanic and control scheme are clever, but the game artificially extends itself by holding back content.”
“Once the camera shake mechanic starts, half the time it moves off the action.”
“Good concept, but the gameplay is lacking and the menus are incredibly intrusive; half the time I die because my character is completely covered by the bottom text.”
“I purchased this game because my nephews enjoy other shared-screen versus games like Stick Fight, Havocado, Gang Beasts, etc. The jelly-pushing mechanic and control scheme are clever, but the game artificially extends itself by holding back content.”
