[PS4] GeoJelly Review | PS4Blog.net

GeoJelly, crafted by Source Byte, bursts with color in this engaging platformer where your goal is to jump your way to freedom, escaping a mysterious lab. Want more details? Let’s dive into our review to see how it stacks up!

GeoJelly sets you on a vibrant adventure, beginning with your grand escape from a laboratory. But that’s not all. After the lab comes the basement, and after the basement? You guessed it, you’ll venture into the depths of a factory. And who would want to settle in a factory? So, naturally, the ultimate goal is to break free into the outside world. Over 50 creatively designed levels await you, each more challenging than the last, offering a steady test of your skills as a platform gamer.

Starting out, the game eases you in with a few levels to get familiar with the controls. You’ll maneuver your blob character using the left analog stick or D-Pad to control the direction and strength of your jumps. The trick lies in mastering your jump trajectory to not only avoid obstacles but also to collect precious diamonds. These jewels are essential, unlocking further levels. And if you have that completionist streak, you might just find yourself striving to collect every diamond across all levels.

For those trophy hunters out there, GeoJelly doesn’t disappoint. It’s packed with a complete trophy set, including the coveted Platinum trophy. Your trophy journey includes jumping 100, 1,000, and 5,000 times, completing various stages like the lab, basement, factory, and outside zones, and even finishing five levels without a single death—along with a few secret objectives that we won’t spoil here.

The simplicity of GeoJelly is part of its charm. It strips down to the basics reminiscent of old-school mobile games, offering a minimalist design with straightforward, engaging gameplay. Whether it’s the compact control scheme or the ease of picking it up right away, GeoJelly captures that perfect blend of accessible gaming with increasing difficulty. Available for $10.49 on PlayStation 5, and $10.99 on PlayStation 4 as a separate purchase, it’s a modest investment for some whimsical fun.

In summary, GeoJelly provides a decent puzzle platformer experience aimed at enthusiasts who appreciate minimalistic design. While it doesn’t particularly push the boundaries of the genre, it offers an enjoyable, average-grade challenge.
