  • gameplay
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Jelly is Sticky" is praised for its inventive use of simple mechanics, with each chapter introducing new jelly mechanics that enhance the puzzle experience. Players appreciate the variety and creativity in puzzle design, which ranges from visually pleasing to mechanically challenging, while the progression system allows for a forgiving exploration of levels. Despite some puzzles being less engaging, the overall depth and clever level design make it a standout title in the puzzle genre.

    • “The amount of juice this game gets out of its simple mechanics is stunning, and the focus on contraption-ish puzzles gives it a pretty unique feel compared to similar games.”
    • “Very good quality and quantity of puzzles; they really explore the whole possibility space of their unique mechanics.”
    • “The way in which systems and mechanics get exhausted in every imaginable (and unimaginable) way possible is wonderful and regularly puts a smile on my face.”
    • “It has a small number of mechanics involving pushing, sliding, and breaking up jelly-goo, and a fairly slow difficulty ramp-up.”
    • “The mechanics are very simple, but the level design is outrageously creative.”
    • “Developers also showed great restraint by not complicating harder levels by periodically layering new mechanics.”
  • graphics
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their cute and simple aesthetic, which complements the puzzle gameplay well, featuring jiggly animations and a relaxing atmosphere. However, some reviewers noted minor graphical glitches and expressed disappointment with the lack of thematic depth in the background visuals, suggesting that more creative tile sets could enhance the overall experience. Overall, while the visuals are considered decent and accessible, there is room for improvement in thematic consistency and variety.

    • “Super cute graphics and a very fun type of puzzle.”
    • “Also, for some reason, I really dig the game's aesthetic - there's something about the jelly wobbling animations and the soothing music that feels very relaxing.”
    • “The puzzles are accessible and never unclear, and the graphics and sound effects are wonderful - all jiggly and tactile.”
    • “The visuals themselves are fine, it's just that the world that the game is built for doesn't quite match the visuals in my opinion.”
    • “Other than that, the only problems I can think of are minor graphics glitches that have zero impact on gameplay.”
    • “I'll say that I feel a bit bad about being so harsh on the game's aesthetic, I've come around on it slightly.”
  • music
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its soothing and ambient qualities, enhancing the overall relaxing experience of gameplay. Many reviewers highlight it as one of the best puzzle game soundtracks they've encountered, with a chill vibe that complements the elegant visual design. While some feel the music doesn't specifically evoke the game's jelly theme, it remains pleasant and well-suited for a casual puzzle-solving atmosphere.

    • “The game is rounded off by an elegant visual design and gorgeous ambient soundtrack -- probably the best puzzle game soundtrack I've heard since I played Bejeweled back in the day.”
    • “Also, for some reason, I really dig the game's aesthetic - there's something about the jelly wobbling animations and the soothing music that feels very relaxing.”
    • “Nothing about the music evokes jelly (not sure what that would be, something more bouncy maybe?), but it is pleasant and soothing, which is good for a game like this which is clearly meant to be played while relaxing.”
    • “Music: really chill music to play puzzle games to.”
    • “Soothing music is first rate.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report a mix of emotional responses to the puzzles, with some feeling a sense of cleverness and achievement upon solving them, particularly with standout challenges. However, many also express frustration with the trial-and-error nature of other puzzles, which detracted from their overall satisfaction and emotional engagement.

  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the absence of grinding in the game, noting that each area presents new challenges and solutions. The level difficulty is well-balanced, ensuring that gameplay remains engaging and rarely feels tedious.

  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is solid, with users reporting only minor graphics glitches that do not affect gameplay.

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for being non-intrusive while significantly enhancing the overall experience of the game.

    • “It's not intrusive and adds a lot to the atmosphere.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features simple controls and lacks a traditional narrative, focusing instead on a compelling progression system reminiscent of Mario 64, where players complete puzzles to unlock new areas. While the absence of a story may be a drawback for some, the unique gameplay variety makes it an intriguing experience worth exploring.

    • “The game lacks a compelling story, making it feel more like a series of puzzles than a cohesive narrative experience.”
    • “While the gameplay is engaging, the absence of a meaningful story detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The progression system is interesting, but without a solid story to back it up, the game feels incomplete.”
