Here's mine! https://itch.io/jam/shovel-jam-2025/rate/3700799

Thanks for the feedback. I've already created some improvements and can't wait to update it.

Have you played The Stanley Parable? You could make a loop like that that gets increasingly absurd.

Help I'm stuck in a loop! I thought it was funny how you also captured never pressing 'a' :)

Oh man those seagulls are tough!

Thanks for the feedback. Ya I was thinking about adding a couple cheap researches that add those kind of details to the UI. Have about a dozen bugs to fix too…

Sorry I already closed the tab so I can’t and it doesn’t seem to work on my phone. All the pieces where locked in place and I couldn’t move them anymore so I assumed they where correct 🤷‍♂️

I got stuck on the motherboard component minigame. I socketed all the components according to the diagram on the wall and then nothing happened and there was no clear way to progress.

I didn't really understand how this worked until looking at the spoiler for level 2, after that i was hooked.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm tentatively planning to add more stuff, not sure what though.

The aesthetic here was my favorite part!

Thanks for the feedback! Flops is floating points operations, a measure of compute power. Mahbe I should just call it 'compute'...

Took a couple of rounds before I knew what I was doing and after that it was a lot of fun dodging the balls.

LOL

Really great idea for the theme. I got sucked into seeing how long I could live :)

Thanks for sharing your game!

Can’t wait to play it!

Thanks for the help, it turned out that I just had some of my settings set up incorrectly and now it works.

Thanks for the note. I'll put it on the bug list

ever mind I figured it out :-P

Hi, I just uploaded my game on Itch. I put up an HTML5 version and the embed code that Itch generates works for me. But for some reason my game doesn't show up with the playable in browser tag like other games do.

What do I need to do to make my game shop up as playable in browser like I see with other games?

My Itch page looks like this:

You can play the game right there on the page but it doesn't show up with the playable in browser tag in search results. How DO I make it show up like that?

Jelly Blocks is a soft body physics Match-3 game where you bounce and mash your combos together instead of lining everything up neatly like Tetris or other games.

Jelly Blocks is still very early in development. please give me feedback on how the controls feel on both touch(phone) and keyboard(desktop) as well as how you like the core loop of stacking squishy blocks and popping them.

Controls

Keyboard:

• W,A,S,D: Move game piece
• Left,Right: Rotate game piece
• Space: Force spawn new game pieceF: Unfreeze all blocks
• F: Unfreeze all blocks

Touch:

• Top buttons - Rotate your game piece.
• Bottom buttons - Move your game piece left and right.

Known issues:

• Sometimes 3 pieces of the same color look like they're touching but the game logic doesn't pop the blocks correctly.
• Game has no end condition yet.
• Keyboard controls in IE don't work.
• Performance still isn't very good at high body counts.
• Physics engine sometimes blows up...

HTML5 Alpha

I have a Windows build and links to the browser version at https://creativecog.itch.io/jelly-blocks

Android APK: Coming soon
