DAMN YOU EAMONDALY!!! Why did you post that link to Jelly Battle? I just lost an entire afternoon to this crazy game... on the plus side, I am now a general.

You should see my uniform.

I couldn't figure out what the point was or how to play... summary?

You have a few seconds to figure out where to hop- most of the tiles are either a weapon, a power-up, or a defense. Do you need to heal or do you want to nuke everybody else? It's all about split-second decisions... multi player mode is addictive as hell.

You use your mouse to point where you want to jump- you only get a few seconds to decide.

Ah, OK. I did a little bit of jumping around, but I couldn't figure out what I was trying to do...

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 09 September | 22:07

You have to jump directly under the block that you want to end up on, it seems? Green is health, red is attack. That's what I've learned so far.

posted by iconomy 09 September | 22:12

Yes, the grid jumps down every turn. Pink are weapons, green are health, red will kill you. Et cetera.

NortonDC and I have been playing for the last 2 days, too. A couple times when it was about 1am we got to play one another because there were so few others on line. I kicked his ass. Then he kicked mine a couple times, too. It is pretty addictive. But I am only a corporal. I guess I have to take orders from you, Boring Postcards!

I like any post that starts with DAMN YOU EAMONDALY!

I read this only because of those three words. I'm tempted to go play this game just so I can come back and say it myself.

JELLY RAGE!

I ignored this game when it was posted a few days ago, as I was in the midst of attempting to beat Super Mario Bros. 2 (the updated version on the GBA) with 100 percent.

Now that I'm onto the "extra game" (Yoshi eggs? WTH?) I've noticed this here Jelly Battle thing, and I think it might be good.

Yes, except I can't win on "hard," only on medium.

Oh nice, I sort of rule at this game...

DAMN YOU EAMONDALY.

Ironically, I'm not particularly good. I've pretty much plateaued at Major.

HANDBAG

posted by eamondaly 10 September | 14:08

I hate you too, eamondaly. I could have gone to bed an hour or two earlier several times last week if not for this infernal game.

posted by me3dia 10 September | 16:14

I also pretty much hate you too.

I wish I could hear the sound effects, though.

HANDBAG OF DEATH!

posted by onlyconnect 10 September | 20:59

I wish I could choose who to go multiplayer with, like our own jellymetchatroom! I'd handbag y'all!

posted by dabitch 11 September | 04:44

Specklet, the sound effects just make it worse. Trust me :)
