JELLY & BONES



*A physics-based co-op puzzle game about magic, teamwork, and a wizard with a terrible sense of humour.*

Four adventurers enter a dungeon looking for treasure. Instead, they anger a powerful wizard who turns them into colourful jelly cubes — skeletons included.

Now they're trapped in his twisted puzzle playground. Push crates, operate strange machinery, dodge deadly traps, and try not to get your friends killed.

You came for treasure. You became the entertainment.

Controls


- `WASD` / `Arrows` / `IJKL` / `TFGH` — move your jellies
- `Q` / `E` — rotate camera
- `1`–`4` — follow a character
- `Mouse wheel` — zoom
- `Z` — undo
- `R` — restart

*Play solo or share a keyboard with friends. Teamwork is optional. Blaming each other isn't.*

How To Play


- Guide all jellies to their matching runes and hold for 3 seconds to win
- Push crates (or friends) onto pressure plates to activate mechanisms
- Navigate lifts, conveyors, portals, and physics-based obstacles
- Pass through matching coloured energy blocks — including floors!
- Avoid spikes, skeleton archers, and deadly drones
- Use shields and swords to survive — or launch your friends across gaps
- Fell off? Respawn. Messed up? Press `Z`

The Story


Four adventurers enter an ancient dungeon in search of legendary treasure. Unfortunately, they anger a powerful wizard with a questionable sense of humour.

As punishment, he transforms them into colourful jelly cubes — skeletons included — and traps them in a series of increasingly ridiculous puzzles.

To regain their original bodies, they must solve every challenge he throws at them.

Dying won't help. The wizard simply brings them back for another attempt.

No escape. No death. Just puzzles.

*The wizard calls it a test of intelligence. The adventurers call it torture.*

Great job! I really liked the mechanic of being able to control up to three cubes at the same time. The progression is also very well handled; I would have loved for there to be more levels xD. The artistic side is beautiful, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the textures used. I think the atmosphere would be even better with music and sound effects. Well done!

Wow, this is really cool! Great vibe, great look! TBH, I think the game would really benefit if you just turned off rotation in the physics. I had so much trouble just pushing a block bc my skeleton and the crate kept rotating awkwardly. Turning off rotation or or even locking the movement to the grid would really help. Also I'm not sure if you really need to rotate the camera, although tbh I didn't get that far, so maybe it's needed later. The controls are a bit confusing in terms of which direction they point to, so if there's a way to just lock the camera, that would a help a little. But isometric grids are tricky.

That said, this is totally awesome. Would love to see where this goes! Nice job!

The game reminded me of that older Windows 10 Treasure Hunt game :)
Great job! The gameplay is fun

Really fun physics game. Super satisfying watching the little cubs jiggle. Great vibe and addicting.

Loved the graphics, the jelly wobble adds to the vibes of both players quite a lot. The fact the world is on an angle makes the movement rather unfamiliar/harder maybe it's the intent but I feel the puzzle should be the hard part and the movement should be easy. Took me back to playing Death Squared, and other similar flash games from childhood.

Really nice visual style! I loved the atmosphere and the way the little characters wobble around. Puzzle games aren't usually my thing, but I can definitely appreciate the creativity here. The controls took a little getting used to, but overall, it's a charming little game. Great job!

This game was so much fun! I played it by myself, and my left hand totally betrayed my right hand... I even used my right hand to block a knife for my left hand hahaha. In the portal level, there were three red portals and I didn't quite understand how the teleportation worked, but I managed to beat it anyway. Overall, this game was hilarious and really fun to play!!

I played solo and enjoyed the Sokoban-style puzzles! I got stuck on level 4, though. The movement took a little getting used to because of the 45-degree camera angle.

Great game, I really enjoyed it and it would be super interesting in multiplayer.

Fantastic art design! I'm very impressed with the 3d models and the sound effects. My only suggestion would be touch screen controls for the next game.

The idea of adventurers turning into jelly skeletons is such a fantastic and hilarious premise. It makes the entire environment feel wonderfully bizarre, and the way you've integrated that into the puzzle design is really clever.

@serendibity-efreet, thanks for the review!About the physics: the intention was to add more chaos in co-op when players hurry and slip up. I also agree the isometric camera can make movement less clear — I’ll be working on that in upcoming updates.

@sovisovi, thanks for the review!Yeah, it can be pretty tough to play alone with both hands — better grab a friend. Failing together is way more fun, hehe.As for the portals: they just teleport you between each other. If there are three, they cycle 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 → 2… and so on.

About level 4:

@scorpioffi, yeah, I’m planning to add online co-op as well. For now you can play hot-seat with your friends.

I liked the graphics and VFX. It’s a bit awkward to control, but I guess that’s the point. It really needs some sounds though, it would be so much better with them.
