Bear Boom

Bear Boom is a jelly puzzle with a bear on the box. The pieces are soft, cute jellies, and the instruction in the description is short: match them to achieve the goal. Everything about the presentation leans sweet, from the dessert vocabulary in the pitch to the candy colours of the board.

The verb that matters is link. Rather than trading two pieces, you connect jellies of the same kind and collect them, so the board is read as paths rather than as pairs. That changes how you scan it: instead of hunting for one swap that lines up three, you trace a route through a cluster and take it in a single stroke.

Each round has a goal to meet, and the jellies you collect count towards it. It is a light, colourful match game for anyone who likes the drawing style of play more than the swapping style, and it keeps its rules simple enough for younger players.

1. Find a group of jellies of the same kind.
2. Link them together in one continuous stroke.
3. Collect the linked jellies to count them towards the goal.
4. Keep linking until the goal for the round is met.

Trace the longest route you can see rather than the first one. A long link collects more jellies at once and reaches the goal in fewer strokes.
