Line Rider clones are a dime a dozen these days. Some are good, some are bad, and some are just plain ugly.
Thankfully, JellyCar falls into none of these categories.
JellyCar not only raises the standard for this type of game, but rather for all iPhone games in presentation. The innovative menu system, which is truly a lot of fun in itself, is just one of the standout features this free title has to offer.
The basic premise is to drive your vehicle from the start of a puzzle to the end, overcoming a few challenges along the way. Most of these involve switching your vehicle between the basic car and the towering truck, each of which are better for certain circumstances. The obstacles aren’t very difficult, but they’re still a blast to solve because they’re always refreshing, new ideas.
Included is a local time-based high score system for each level (a total of 12), although a global high score system would have been even better. Speaking of which, the replay value is the only spot where JellyCar falters. Unfortunately, no map editor or creator was included, so you’ll be stuck with the 12 provided maps… for now at least. But the top-notch graphics and spot-on control system (especially for zooming) are more than enough to make up for a lack of leaderboards.
What really puts the game overboard, however, is the best sounds available on any game for the iPhone so far. The tunes are upbeat and the sounds effects make it a seamless joy to play. Go download it for yourself and get immersed in this JellyWorld.
