Source Byte has delivered a vibrant platformer, GeoJelly, where your main mission is to hop, skip, and leap your way to freedom from a laboratory setting. Intrigued? Let’s dive deeper into what GeoJelly offers in this engaging review.
In GeoJelly, you’re not just confined to escaping a lab; there’s plenty more on your agenda. After freeing yourself from the lab, the basement awaits. Beyond that lies the challenge of the factory, and your ultimate goal? To get outside. With over 50 levels designed to progressively test your skills, this game ensures that you’re in for a wild ride.
At the start, you’ll get a quick run-through of how things work. Use the left analog stick or the D-Pad to steer your blob and decide on your jumping direction and power. This is crucial as you’ll encounter numerous hazards that need sidestepping, all the while collecting diamonds. These gems unlock further levels, and though there are ample diamonds to find, completionists might feel the urge to snag every single one.
GeoJelly also boasts a comprehensive trophy list, topped with a coveted Platinum trophy. Expect to unlock your fair share of achievements, from executing 100 to an impressive 5,000 jumps, to conquering the lab, basement, factory, and finally, the outer world. There’s also the daring challenge of completing five levels without a single hitch and gathering all diamonds on a level rich with gems. Plus, there are some secret objectives sprinkled in, but we’ll leave those as a surprise for you to discover.
GeoJelly’s essence is simple yet addicting. With its minimalist graphics and straightforward controls, it hearkens back to the simplicity of classic mobile games. The game is now available on PlayStation 5 for $10.49, and if you’re still rocking a PlayStation 4, there’s a separate version priced at $10.99.
In conclusion, while GeoJelly might not revolutionize the platforming genre, it’s a solid attempt at offering bite-sized fun. So, if you’re in the mood for a game that keeps it straightforward yet engaging, GeoJelly could be your next go-to. Please note that this review is based on a PlayStation 5 copy provided by Source Byte.
