Is It Any Good?
JELLY DEFENSE is a perfectly serviceable entry in the tower defense genre, but it doesn't really add anything that other titles haven't already. The enemies and defenders are, admittedly, much cuter than in most other games of this ilk, but the gameplay is fairly basic: Waves of enemy troops come marching down the road and you attempt to stop them with a series of defensive weapons. The controls handle well, though, and the game's overall look is certainly eye-pleasing. It currently carries an introductory price of 99 cents, which is certainly fair, though we're not sure we'd pay more for the game and still feel as good about it.
