Diving into the vibrant world of GeoJelly from Source Byte, you’re in for a puzzling platformer where the main mission is to leap your way out of a confining lab. If you’re curious to know how this challenge unfolds, stick around for our take on GeoJelly!
Right off the bat, you’ll find yourself navigating through lively and colorful designs as you tackle the lab escape. But that’s just the beginning. After you manage to wriggle your way out of the lab, the basement becomes your next hurdle. Just when you think you’re free, the task of bypassing the factory awaits, and eventually, you’ll find yourself striving to get outside. With a line-up of over 50 levels, the increasing complexity ensures your skills are put to the test every step of the way.
The initial levels serve as your tutorial ground. Here, you’ll get familiar with maneuvering your gelatinous blob using the left analog stick or the D-Pad to select the direction and force of your jumps. Mastering these jumps is crucial as you’ll need to carefully plan your routes to dodge hazards and snag diamonds scattered throughout each level. These diamonds are essential for unlocking further stages, although there’s an abundance, so worry not! However, if you’re a completionist, you’ll undoubtedly be driven to collect every single one.
In the world of trophies, GeoJelly is packed with incentives. A full trophy list awaits, complete with a coveted Platinum for the thorough gamers out there. The objectives are straightforward yet engaging: jump 100, 1,000, and 5,000 times, clear the lab, basement, factory, and outside areas, and complete five levels without losing a life. Additionally, there’s a challenge to collect all diamonds in a level with five or more diamonds, plus a few hush-hush objectives that I’ll leave for you to uncover.
GeoJelly, with its simplistic charm, revisits the essence of classic mobile games. The minimalist design and the straightforward controls make it instantly accessible, though your enjoyment may depend on personal taste. It’s out now on PlayStation 5 for $10.49, with a PlayStation 4 version available separately for $10.99.
For those who found their curiosity piqued, it’s an interesting concoction of challenge and fun, offering a modest but satisfying platforming adventure. Please note, this review was crafted based on a PlayStation 5 copy provided by Source Byte.
