Jelly Car 3 Review
by on October 11, 2012
Who’d have thought that a game featuring a car made of jelly could be such a winning formula? JellyCar has now reached its third, and best, iteration – and aside from a couple of intrinsic flaws, it’s a wibbly wobbly delight.
The car in question can be moved forwards and backwards. You can also make it bigger and smaller with the touch of your finger, and roll it by tilting your device. Using these few functions, you then have to work your way past each level’s platform-based obstacles to reach the exit.
Challenges and hazards come in the form of obstructions, different surface textures, trapdoors and so on, and you have to crawl, climb, wheelie, roll and squeeze your way through them to reach the goal. A particularly neat feature is the ability to upload and download ghost cars of your best times, so you can challenge your friends.
The level design is mostly excellent, but the car’s wobbly nature does make your progress rather chaotic at times. For the most part, though, JellyCar 3 is tremendously enjoyable.

Human Defense
Initially looks tasty, but not really enough to make our stomachs gurgle in delight, and the overly fussy approach and uneven difficulty curve gave us minor heartache.
HUEBRIX
It won’t amuse you for great stretches at a time, but this is great for dipping in and out of.
Home Sheep Home
A great concept, but just a bit too fiddly in its execution to be completely enjoyable on iPhone and iPod.
iPhone
Hold On Jack
One of those games that, despite having a promising concept, is just too pedestrian and unexciting to truly grab hold.
iPhone
Golf Putt Pro
Golfers will enjoy showing it off at the clubhouse, but it's not a proper game.
iPad
Girls Love Robots
You’ll like girls, robots, pies, moustaches – in fact, the majority of what this charming puzzler has in store.
iPhone
Geospike
The visual splendor is somewhat spoilt by the dark tones, and levels are too slow-paced and repetitive to really grip you.
iPad
Gene Effect
The visual splendor is somewhat spoilt by the dark tones, and levels are too slow-paced and repetitive to really grip you.
iPhone
Garage Marketplace
Putting photos front and centre in a buying and selling app is a perfectly good idea, but there are other flaws here.
iPhone
Game Your Video
More powerful than it seems to let on, but still totally intuitive and easy to use.
