Jelly Crush

Jelly Crush is goal-led rather than score-led: each board names what it wants, and the jellies are simply how you deliver it. Swapping neighbours crushes and squishes them off the field in the usual way.

What that means in practice is that the biggest match is often the wrong one. A board asking for a particular jelly gets nothing from a spectacular clear of everything else, and the players who finish quickly are the ones who work the corner where their target actually lives rather than the corner where the board looks busiest.

The jellies themselves are drawn round and glossy and squash convincingly, which sounds like a trivial detail until you have played a board where the pieces do not — feedback is most of what makes this genre pleasant.

1. Read the level goal before touching the board.
2. Swap two neighbouring jellies to clear three or more.
3. Work the area where your target jelly is densest.
4. Keep going until the goal is met.

When the required jelly is scarce, make small matches beside it rather than large ones elsewhere. Each nearby clear pulls fresh pieces into that neighbourhood, which is the only reliable way to manufacture more of what you need.
