Jelly Busters is a vibrant pixel-art puzzle game where your goal is to clear a board made of colored pixels. You win the level by using matching Jellies to blast away every pixel until the board is empty and the image is complete!

The Basics of Busting
The game is all about keeping your Jellies moving and managing your space. Here is the simple loop:
- Pick your Jellies: At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see Queues (vertical columns) filled with colored Jellies. Tap a Jellies to pick it up.
- Load the Conveyor: Place your chosen Jelly onto the moving Conveyor track. You have 5 Skateboards (slots) on the track, meaning you can have up to 5 Jellies riding at once.
- Automatic Firing: Once on the track, your Jellies do the work! They automatically fire at pixels on the board that match their color.
- Ammo & The Holder: Each Jelly has a limited amount of ammo. Once it clears its target pixels and runs out of ammo, it disappears. However, if a Jelly completes a full trip around the track and still has ammo left, it drops into the Holder at the bottom.
Managing the Holder
The Holder is your storage space, but it’s limited! This is the most important part of your strategy:
- Watch the Space: If the Holder fills up and another Jelly drops into it, you’ll lose the level.
- Stay Strategic: Check the board before you pick a Jelly. If there aren't many pixels of that color left, that Jelly might not use all its ammo and will end up taking up a precious spot in your Holder.
Power Up Your Game
Need a little extra help clearing a tough board? You can use Pre-boosters (chosen before you start a level) and Boosters (used during the level) to tip the scales in your favor:
- Expand your Conveyor: Use the Extra Skateboard to add more track slots and keep more active Jellies moving at once.
- Blast tough colors: Try the Joker, Bomb, or Propellor to clear large groups of pixels instantly.
- Manage a full Holder: Use the Merger to combine matching Jellies, or open up an Extra Slot for more storage room.
- Reach deeper Queues: Use the Claw to grab a Jelly from behind the front row.
And that’s the sweet secret to busting. Keep your Jellies rolling and your Holder happy!
