Jelly's Odyssey

Your goal is to touch the purple cube at the other end of the maze.

You can stick to green walls, slide on blue walls, and jump on brown walls. Grey walls have no effects.

Enemies

Each enemy defends an invisible circular area around its spawn point. The enemy will activate when you enter its zone, but when you exit it, it will shut down and teleport to its initial spot. If an enemy touches you, it gets stun, and you lose your color and a life. If you run out of lives, you are teleported to your home.

Green enemies always move towards you. Blue enemies detect you and move in cardinal directions. Brown enemies detect you and move in diagonals.

Colors

To defend yourself and navigate more easily the maze, you can use the powers that the 3 main colors (green, blue, and brown) give you. Grey counts as no color. To use a color, you must first absorb it by holding space while on a wall. Then, if you consume it while falling just before an impact, you won’t be stun by the fall and you’ll bounce on enemies without taking damage or losing your color. Moreover, if you fall from a sufficient height (6 walls, the height that would stun you otherwise), you’ll trigger an effect depending on the colors involved.

Wall \ Player	Green	Blue	Brown
Green	Become Light green	Teleport behind the wall	Get a shield
Blue	All enemies are shut down	Become Light blue	Dash in the direction you’re facing
Brown	Ascend until you move	Pause the game, zoom out the camera	Become Light brown

Both the Dash and Ascension abilities makes you invincible, and you can fall from any height to trigger them.

You can access a recap of this abilities in game by pressing R.

Riding enemies

When your color is light, you will grab an enemy of the same color instead of bouncing on it. This will allow you to ride it without being detected by other enemies, until you touch a wall.

The green enemy is an exception: you can only ride it while it’s in contact with a wall.

Menu & HUD

You can use the sliders in the menu to adjust the parameters of the next maze you’ll build.

I recommend starting with a small maze and only a few enemies to get used to all the mechanics.

You can also give you any amount of health for the current run.

The stats panel shows 4 numbers:

Time in second since you started this run	Best time for this maze (0 by default)
Current amount of damage taken	Min damage taken for this maze (0 by default)
