Jelly Boy for SNES PAL


Image: MobyGames

Jelly Boy

Failed Yoshi's Island clone


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Ocean Software

Year: 1995

System: SNES PAL


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Tall jump but poor correction. You're committed. Fun transformations, but they're purely practical to solve a barrier directly before you. Reminds me of Yoshi's Island. Slow movement. You bounce against walls, making it tough to jump up to platforms. Don't let the theme fool you - this is a tough precision platformer. Oppressive time limit conflicts with the encouragement to fully explore stages to collect fruit and find the puzzle pieces which open the boss room.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

I love a lot of the level designs, especially with the light puzzles and transformations. I'd like to keep paying but the difficulty is stopping me.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Doooorky! You're a Stretch Armstrong doll shaped like a ginger bread man. You inhabit a toy world. Yeah, not a macho theme


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

The most juvenile music ever composed. Sound effects are fine but that music. Not Ocean's finest soundtrack.


Overall Score: 47

Review ID: 3914
