Drop Jelly

to start, I REALLY love this game. the one mobile game ad that’s actually delivered :) it’s so fun and delightful, with a nice puzzle element. Also, re: the levels being beatable, I have been able to play up to a much higher level (284) without a single power up! Sometimes it takes many tries due to luck of getting the right jellies. But certainly beatable. THAT BEING SAID, I’d love if this game had some kind of unlimited mode, where you could keep dropping jellies to clear the board and would lose if the board filled up. Maybe with more colors or challenging blocks appearing if you need to make it harder. I’d actually be addicted to this app if that was available. The jelly drop with popping lots of them is just so satisfying, and every time I win a level I wish I had a chance to try and clear the rest of the board. I think ad free is too expensive so I didn’t buy it, but I’m no expert on if it’s a fair price. I do really like this game so I may eventually cave :-)

I have burned through many a puzzle game, best fiends, candy crush and all of its spinoffs, and I can quite honestly say this is the worst puzzle game I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. Firstly the game is Pay to win out the wazoo, if you aren’t throwing cash at this game you aren’t going to make it very far because it seems the game is coded to drop blocks in a specific way that makes it nearly impossible to complete levels, it could be down to you needing ONE match and you have every color on the board and you get the only color combination that doesn’t allow you to win. Alongside of this point, as mentioned in other reviews the power ups are so incredibly difficult to earn without spending money. Secondly the amount of “lives” you have is a joke with most of the levels taking countless attempts to succeed at them. You could EASILY waste your 5 lives on a single level and have to wait a couple hours only to burn through the other 5 lives, but you guessed it, you can throw money at the game to get more lives. This game is a shameless cash grab, much like a claw machine it is only set to pay out or allow the player to be successful after x amount of attempts and it’s quite embarrassing. I would 100% rate this a 0 star game if I could because as an avid gamer who plays on desktop and mobile alike, this game is absolutely atrocious and deserves nothing more then to be led directly onto the guillotine.

I agree with what other people are saying and I’ve really given this game a chance. I’ve made it to level 123 and without purchasing power ups, this level doesn’t seem to be beatable. It’s a very challenging game and I’ve enjoyed it despite the ads. But I’ve been on this level for several days and with the order the blocks fall and the difficulty in what you have to clear, I don’t see this as being able to be beat in a normal fashion. I’m giving it four stars out of five because I have enjoyed the challenge. I’ve seen others saying they are getting stuck on lower levels. You do have to try some of them many times. But this is my limit. Several days on the same level just doesn’t make it challenging anymore, it makes it frustrating. And life is frustrating enough without deliberately looking for it.
