Jelly Defense serves up a hard-hitting and satisfying challenge, forcing the player to constantly assess, re-assess, and rearrange the defense strategy on-the-fly.

Enemy “dropships” waltz into the mouth of each level’s path to spawn hordes of specialized invaders, and these giant dropships are constantly taking turns in an attempt to throw the player off balance - what if a wave of tough red minions is followed by a wave of speedy blue invaders? If the player had a network full of red towers ready to tear up the first onslaught, he or she has to quickly cannibalize those and set up blue towers to fend off the following wave. What stands out most to me in Jelly Wars is the fact that tower de-construction becomes just as important in the player’s strategy as setting them up in the first place. As enemies fall to a tower’s specialized onslaught, they produce little gold balls the player can spend on building more towers, or upgrading the range and firepower of current emplacements. Genre fans should be well familiar with the basics presented in Jelly Defense’s thorough live tutorial: enemies march along a winding path, susceptible only to certain towers the player can drag and drop onto the curbsides. It’s got an utterly weird and whimsical alien aesthetic, but the player takes this all in stride as fantastic game design and depth yank him or her straight into its world. A great way to approach Jelly Defense is to think of it as the Contre Jour of Tower Defense titles.
