In essence, Jelly Jump is an endless runner casual game, though in this case, you can call it an endless jumper. That means your objective is to go as far as possible without dying, and if you want to do this and rack up an impressive score, you’ll want to focus on the obstacles, and not on your jelly and definitely not on the black slime that chases it around.
This game has its own premium currency called Jelly Juice and you can get yourself some of it, free of charge, at every tenth to fifteenth platform per run. The higher up you climb, the more Jelly Juice you can get, so keep that in mind when playing the game and aiming for a certain score.
Part of the challenge in Jelly Jump comes from the fact that platform speed is variable. When platforms open and close, that’s when you may likely notice it, and you should take note of how quickly or how slowly that speed changes so that you know how to go about clearing the next platform. Quick taps allow you to clear fast-closing platforms, while going through things nice and easy will help you with the slower-closing ones.
This may happen from time to time – you’ll find yourself in a bind when your jelly cannot seem to go further in a platform. But this shouldn’t mark the end of your game. Simply tap repeatedly on your display and you’ll get yourself free in no time.
In a way, this is counterproductive – Ketchapp may be a veritable force in the world of casual gaming, but they need to make money too. Still, playing with ads can be a distraction to some, and if this sounds like you, simply turn off your Wi-Fi or cellular connection or switch your phone to airplane mode to “kill” the ads.
Ideally, you want to practice this in the early goings of the game, but the important thing is practicing making your jumps as perfect as possible to help you clear the tougher platforms in later levels.
