Merge the Jelly is a physics-based casual game where players manage a jelly factory. By spawning and merging identical jellies, you create more valuable tiers of sweets. The game features satisfying 'jiggle' physics, allowing jellies to bounce and squeeze into tight spaces. Earn money by selling your creations to upgrade your capacity and unlock new jelly types in this endlessly rewarding progression loop.

Our Expert Score
Merge the Jelly is an incredibly addictive casual puzzler that takes the satisfying tactile nature of 2048 and gives it a wiggly, physics-based makeover. The core loop is simple: you drop colorful jellies onto a board, and when two of the same size and color touch, they fuse into a larger, more valuable jelly. What sets this apart from static number-match games is the 'jiggling' factor—jellies bounce, squeeze, and slide around each other, which makes every move feel dynamic and slightly unpredictable.
As an expert in the genre, I appreciate the progression system where you sell your high-tier jellies to expand your factory and unlock new spawn slots. However, the experience is currently dampened by a fairly aggressive monetization strategy. Recent updates have introduced 'stamina' caps on how many jellies you can drop before waiting or watching ads, which interrupts the 'flow state' that makes merge games so appealing. If you can look past the frequent pop-ups for bundles, the actual physics engine and the satisfying 'pop' of a successful merge make it a top-tier time-killer.

Tips & Walkthrough
To progress quickly, focus on clearing the board by merging towards the corners. Use the money earned from selling large jellies to immediately upgrade your 'Income' and 'Spawn Level' to bypass lower-tier jellies.
Gameplays
Drop jellies onto the platform, watch them interact with physics, and combine matching colors. Once you reach a high enough tier, sell the jelly to clear space and fund factory expansions.

Cured my boredom
Fri Feb 16 2024 Deoxyribonucleic Acid1I used to sit around everyday on basic applications like TikTok or Snapchat and after hours of scrolling and scouring profiles online, I realized that what I was doing wasn’t really fulfilling. In order to help myself with this issue i took to mobile games. It was while I was playing bubble shooter when I got an add for this amazing game. Watching every color of jelly come together and create a more valuable piece of jelly sparked my attention and I had to download immediately. At first, I thought that this game would only be something I played when I had no internet or I wasn’t near my other electronics, however after hours of playing this game, it’s helped me find my true passion in life. Merging jelly to create other jelly is probably the greatest thing I will ever do in my life. I could be a police officer or doctor or lawyer and it’ll never feel as amazing as merging jellies. Merge the jelly has changed my life and I’m so happy that I get to live and die in the generation that experiences this masterpiece. But one thing is that I only get a limited 200 jelly in my bucket and I have to pay for 50% more. If that’s how things are going to be then I’d like to be able to acquire free jelly in a faster period of time. I hope you take my suggestion into consideration so I can excel more efficiently in this incredible game.
Fun but no more levels
Fri Oct 13 2023 drivethruwhaleFirst of all yes there are a bunch of ads, that’s just how these types of games are. The basic gameplay of this is pretty simple, merge the blobs to make them worth more, sell the merged ones so you can afford to spawn more blobs, eventually you’ll have enough cash to expand the screen so you can fit more blobs to merge for higher values. After expanding the screen enough times it will reset to the smallest but add a gimmick of some kind, a timed area to “donate” blobs to so you can get rewards, a treasure chest on a stick that gets longer until you’re able to swing it into the sell area and get rewards, and a pinwheel with four slots right below the spawn area that will either give you more blobs or destroy the ones that fall into it. This last one is annoying because one of the slots is for extra blobs but only if you watch an ad, so it’s constantly asking you if you want to. I expanded the screen as far as it will go and instead of resetting it just stopped letting me upgrade. Seems I’ve run out of levels and am stuck with the pinwheel, so I’ll be dropping this until and if they add more levels.
Remove the pinwheel or I will riot
Wed Oct 25 2023 ZozzberryI love this game, I have been playing it nonstop since I downloaded it- The pinwheel mode has been so infuriating that I have been on the verge of deleting the app all together. It slows the game down to a crawl because you have to wait for the side you want to be facing upward, and if you accidentally hit the +2 one you have to wait so long before you can choose to skip the ad. I first thought that mechanic was fine but now every time I see the option pop up my blood boils. I miss the sliding gun mode. The chest mode sucked, it’s not even worth it to pull the chest down because the rewards are nowhere near equivalent to what you put into it. And it’s really finnicky when you pull it over, usually it didn’t register the first time I did it. The sliding gun mode was stressful but at least fulfilling the requirements was worth it, I felt incentivized to do it, the other modes have just been degrading in quality.
Ads not too often and very addicting
Wed Dec 13 2023 akayamoI started playing this because i got bored, then as i played it more I realized how much i played it. it was so fun and I was just unaware of the prestige feature. The prestige takes a while to do but it is worth it to upgrade the jelly. I still play now but the ad breaks are kind of annoying. I also sometimes have done a super satisfying combo by lining them all up then dropping one last jelly in which makes them combine in a row. At this point I had also been unaware of another feature where there’s a number in a circle, i think that is my level, but it gives really good rewards and you can spend some money to get more rewards because theres 3 rows, 1 free 2 cost, but the amount of rewards they give is really crazy, like 400 prestige coins!!!???! that is super useful!! I rated this 5 stars because of how fun it is, but also because it passed the time so well. I play it on the bus waiting for my stop, and it feels like a breeze.
Sad and disappointed
Tue Feb 13 2024 NBarry9I downloaded this game around half a year ago and have been obsessed with it! I was telling my husband how much I love that they don’t try and ask you to spend real money (except for the no ads offer) and I said that I’m scared they are going to limit the game play and try and charge you to keep playing. You used to have unlimited jelly (obviously you had to sell jelly to get coins to buy more and had limited space that could be upgraded to hold more, with the coins you build up in the game). Not real money. Now you only get 1 jelly per minute and can pay to get more. It’s such a let down that a good game finally came out and they had to change it to make more money off of it. There should at least be the two versions. The old version and the current version. I don’t mind the large amount of ads that were already in the game because the game play was free. But now the amount of ads is ridiculous (same amount as before) if we have to pay to play the amount of time that we used to.
Good game
Thu Mar 07 2024 laren wolfI got an advertisement for this game saying that there were no ads and that this game doesn’t require internet. The game looked interesting so I decided to download but I was disappointed to find that this game does require internet and you do get occasional ads. It’s not nearly as bad as most mobile games though, I only get about two ads every time I play the game so it’s not that bad. In this game you are able to buy jelly, and then you can combine the jelly of the same color to earn money. You can use the money to buy more jelly or to expand the box that your jelly is in, otherwise your box won’t be able to hold very much jelly. You have 200 pieces of jelly available each time you play and you get one more piece available every 30 seconds. I’ve been liking this game and despite the ads I have been playing it for about two weeks now. Overall, I would say it’s worth the download.
Used to be great!
Sun Mar 10 2024 JohnFivePeriodsI really liked this game when I first started in late 2023. Fun game and an ad every once in a while, and it felt like a nice and somewhat earned (?) break. Unfortunately, this game has recently become bad. They have implemented a limit on how much jelly you can add to the screen. This makes me stop playing for hours-days at a time (also stopping me from watching ads). You used to be able to slightly circumvent this by watching an ad to refill the jelly, but this has been removed and you must use red shards to refill. This wasn’t much of an issue either because you could use diamonds to get more shards and those were easy to get. Both of these methods have been removed so the only way is to pay for more shards to refill or just wait. This is bad. I will gladly and enthusiastically watch ads to continue to play this good game, but I will not pay. You have turned this masterpiece of a game into an infuriating time waster.
New Update is Terrible!
Thu Jan 25 2024 jfjdiididThis was my favorite game and they completely ruined it! I paid to remove ads because I enjoyed this game so much… and then they updated it today. They got rid of the upgrades you could buy with diamonds and added red jewels as a new currency. Next to the add jelly button on the bottom left, they added a sand bucket which generates one jelly or “click” per minute and has a max capacity of 200. Instead of being able to dispense as many jellies as I had space and money for, now I have to wait for the sand bucket to refill. The also added six EXTREMELY annoying ads to buy more in game currency on the side of the screen- which completely ruins my experience (also not to mention I paid to remove all ads, but apparently theirs don’t count). It’s obvious this new update is just a cash grab. They want you to get frustrated you can generate infinite jellies and give in and buy one of their 50 dollar currency packs. I am so sad and I hope they change it back to the way it used to be. I’m done playing this game until they do.
