App Review: Jelly Car 3
Jelly Car 3 is the sequel to the sequel of the critics' acclaimed, and extremely popular app, Jelly Car. All, except for Jelly Car 1, were developed and published by Disney. The objective of Jelly Car 3 is to drive your little car made of jelly (basically Jell-O) and try and get it to the finish. The app costs $0.99 and is availbe in the App Store. You touch the screen to go, and tilt the device to control your cars relativity to the horizon. You can also tap the screen to make your car grow or shrink, so as to be able to fit through tight spaces or drive effortlessly over canyons.
There are also two different power ups that can be found randomly in a level. The first is a balloon, and it attaches a balloon to your car and you can then float. The second is a magnet, which give your wheels magnetic ability so you can go straight up walls, upside-down, etc. The power ups are quite fun to use, and since they are usually mandatory to use—or else you won't beat the level—it gives the game more of a challenge.
As mentioned before, your car is made of jelly, but that's not all. Just about every single thing, whether it is a wall, obstacle, jump, ball, or anything, it's all made of jelly. So when you drive on it it sinks under your weight, or squishes you, etc. This gives the game an awesome interactive environment feel, which makes the game way more enjoyable. In fact I've found myself just forgetting about beating the level, and instead going off and exploring different ways to manipulate my car, or manipulate the environment!
