Jelly Boy is a platformer released in 1995 for the Game Boy. Players control a small, gelatinous character navigating vibrant, challenging levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The main objective is to reach the end of each stage while collecting items and avoiding hazards.
The game features a steady pace, requiring precise timing and careful jumps. A unique mechanic in Jelly Boy is the character's ability to stretch and morph, which affects movement and interaction with the environment. This elasticity allows access to otherwise unreachable areas and adds strategic depth to the platforming challenges.
One distinctive aspect of Jelly Boy is its colorful, cartoon-like visuals that stand out on the Game Boy’s limited hardware. The unusual idea of controlling a gelatinous hero introduces fresh gameplay elements uncommon in typical platformers of its time, emphasizing flexibility and shape-shifting abilities.
