Jolly Jam

It looks like there's still some wiggle room for casual and puzzle games on smartphones And, despite the large number of copies and variations that have emerged after the resounding success of Candy Crush Saga, important developers continue to create titles of this style for users around the world. This is what happens with Jolly Jam, the adaptation of these mechanics according to Rovio, the company developer of the saga Angry BirdsAn attempt to defend its status as a developer by betting on insurance with a fun and addictive title, although without great news about what has been seen in this genre.

This is a puzzle game although with a somewhat different mechanics when matching three or more fruits of the same type on the board to make them disappear. With this, it is possible to create all kinds of chain reactions to score points, always looking for the key objective of the level: either defrost all the fruit, finish off theenemy, get the requested fruits or reach a minimum score with a Limited number of steps Not forgetting a nice variety of Powerups for more devastating moves. Elements more than recognizable by any player on the mobile platform.

The key to Jolly Jam lies in the variation of the mechanics compared to Candy Crush Saga And it is that you do not have to put together three tiles of the same type to make them disappear, but this title raises form rectangles on the board that collect pieces of the same type inside, collecting them for the user's score. Thus, all you have to do is click from a piece and slide your finger diagonally across the board to a tile of the same type A rather interesting twist that renews the mechanics of these titles although with very similar approaches.

Another novelty offered by Jolly Jam are the battles against final bosses. And it is that, along the path of levels, there are somewhat more complex challenges in which an enemy must be defeated by creating all kinds of combinations and collecting fruits.Attacks that are based on the same mechanics but creating a much more dynamic and attractive experience for the regular player.

But making rectangles on the board is not as simple a mechanic as it may seem. In the development of the games and the current 200 levels available the difficulty increases considerably , finding real challenges when completing the requirements. Either by the number of moves that are given up, by the shape of the board or by finding the pieces in which to frame the box. Something that will keep the user glued to the smartphone and requesting lives from their friends on Facebook in order to continue playing.

In short, a game with all the necessary elements to cause a sensation among lovers of puzzles of this type, with power-ups, lives, invitations, and a relationship with Facebook.All this loaded with animations and a very colorful and striking visual aspect. But the best thing is that Jolly Jam is free, and you can find it available for Android atGoogle Play and App Store for iPhone users and iPad Of course, it has several integrated purchases on its inside.
