Jelly merge 3D

Jelly merge 3D is a level-based puzzle about joining coloured jelly cubes. Cubes of several colours are spread across the field, and you move them so that cubes of the same colour connect and merge. A level is finished when only one cube of each colour remains. Obstacles stand in the way, and part of the job is getting cubes round them.

The developer says there are more than 70 levels and that difficulty rises with each one, as more colours and more cubes are added. Control is by swipe on a touch screen, or with the WASD or arrow keys on a keyboard. It uses a landscape frame, 800 by 600, and the developer sums the game up as easy to learn and difficult to master. There is no mention of scoring; finishing each level is the measure of progress.

Swipe, or press the WASD or arrow keys, to move the cubes. Steer them so that cubes of the same colour connect, working around any obstacles in the way. Keep joining same-coloured cubes until there is a single cube of each colour left on the field. That completes the level, and the next one brings more colours and cubes.

The finish condition is one cube per colour, so before moving anything, count the cubes of each colour and work out how each group will meet. Obstacles block direct routes, so study the layout first instead of pushing towards a match straight away. Later levels add colours, which means more groups to bring together.

A colour-joining merge puzzle in a landscape frame with 70-plus levels. Controls are swipe, WASD or the arrow keys. Each level ends when only one cube of each colour is left, and the developer says difficulty rises level by level.

Point to Merge is also level-based, with 50 levels in which blocks are steered into their matches, and Merge Shapes sets level goals met by joining similar shapes until they are collected.
