Jelly Shooter

Jelly Shooter is a wave survival arena arcade built for phones, tablets, and the browser. You steer a cute jelly hero inside a glowing circular arena, auto-fire at rival jellies, and chase each wave's point goal before the next swarm arrives.

Combat is readable and fast. Your guns lock onto the nearest enemy and fire on their own, so aiming is about positioning and dodging rather than dragging a crosshair. Swap between mouse follow, on-screen D-pad, or a cycle pad from Settings or the in-run control toggle. Cover blocks appear on later waves — duck behind them when shooters and gunners open fire.

Waves escalate with a clear score quota shown on the HUD. Reach the goal, clear remaining enemies, then push into the next wave. Enemy types include grunt jellies, swift runners, tank brutes with hit points, snipers, dashers, splitters, gunners, bombers, brood mothers that spawn babies, cowards that flee, and periodic boss jellies every five waves. Bosses bring heavy HP bars and denser bullet patterns, so keep moving and spend powers wisely.

Loot keeps runs fresh. Defeated jellies can drop hearts for HP, bonus guns for your orbital rack, and power-ups: Speed for quicker movement, Shield for temporary layers, Blast for a local burst, and Omni for an arena-wide shot. Stock powers and tap them when a swarm or boss tightens the arena. Bonus guns include Rapid Stream, Fire Bloom, Spread Shot, Frost Bite, Pierce Lance, Jelly Scatter, and Nova Burst — each with its own cadence and ammo rules while Pulse Blaster stays as your reliable base weapon.

The Levels hub unlocks chapter pods by best score: Grape Grove is open from the start at wave 1, Berry Splash (starts at wave 5) unlocks at a 200-point best, Citrus Ring (wave 10) at 500, and Strawberry Peak (wave 15) at 900. Pick a chapter to jump into a harder starting wave once you have earned it. Seasonal and all-time leaderboards track scores per chapter with a nickname you set once.

Home includes Play, Levels, Leaderboard, How to play, and Settings. Theme colors include blue, pink, cyan, purple, green, amber, and a custom picker so the arena glow matches your mood. Eight languages ship in the app: English, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, and French.

The flash screen waits for Start Game so sound unlocks on your tap. Progress, control mode, theme, and language stay on the device. Jelly Shooter fills the viewport in portrait and landscape — arena, HUD, D-pad, and gun/power buttons stay usable without letterboxing. Pause anytime, resume, or return home.

How a run feels: open a chapter, read the wave goal, move to kite shooters, collect a spare gun when ammo runs low, pop Shield before a boss spiral, and cash in Omni when the arena fills. After a loss, the run summary shows wave reached, jellies popped, bosses beaten, guns grabbed, powers used, accuracy, and time so you can improve the next attempt.

Tips: stay near cover when gunners spawn, save Blast for clustered brutes, rotate guns before a boss wave, and unlock the next chapter as soon as your high score allows. Learn the wave goal, dodge, collect drops, and see how far your jelly can wobble through the glowing ring.

Recent changes:
1.0.24 — A small banner now shows at the bottom of menu screens only: Home, Levels, Help, Settings, Leaderboard and the game-over screen. It never shows while you battle jelly waves in the arena. Menus were re-spaced so buttons and text sit above the banner, nothing covered; backgrounds still fill the screen. Ads now use this app's own AdMob units for steadier loading; interstitial timing is unchanged. Wave survival with bosses every five waves and power-ups, as before.
