Jelly Pop Defense

Prospectus

Jelly Pop Defense is a colorful tower defense game where brave cats protect their home from waves of bouncy jellies. Drag 16 kinds of cats next to the track: Dart, Boomerang, Bomb, Bubble, Ninja, Wizard, Laser, Dragon and more. Then upgrade each one along two paths. Pop a jelly and the layer inside keeps going, so plan your defense. Every few rounds pick one of three toys that change your run, and place partner cats side by side to unlock duo powers. Face camo, iron and regrowing jellies plus four giant bosses that change tactics as they get hurt, across 8 maps, 3 difficulties and endless freeplay. Play a new Daily Challenge every day, fill your Collection, master cats to unlock new coats and climb the leaderboards.

How it plays

Drag a cat from the shop onto the grass next to the track (or tap a cat, then tap the grass). Press Play to send the next wave of jellies. Popping jellies earns coins: spend them on more cats and upgrades. Tap a placed cat to upgrade it, change its target, use its ability or sell it. Don't let jellies reach the end of the track, or you lose lives. Survive every round to win! Keyboard: Space = play / speed up, 1-9, 0, - and = pick a cat, Esc = cancel or pause.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a flexible screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for tower defense holdings

• The bend in the road is the best real estate you own. A tower firing along a curve earns double the seconds of the same tower on a straight — buy geography before firepower.
• A slowing tower is a raise for every other tower. Anything that keeps enemies in range longer multiplies the whole line's output, and usually costs less than a second cannon.
• Save an emergency fund. The wave that breaks a defense is rarely the biggest one; it is the fast or armoured one you spent your last coins not preparing for.
