Jelly Gobble

Mission briefing

Squish, slurp, GOBBLE! You are a little jelly in a pastel town, and everything smaller than you is a snack. Start with candies and cones, then work your way up to bikes, cars, buses, houses and finally the giant ferris wheel. Every bite makes you bigger, and every size unlocks bigger food. Through your see-through belly you can watch it all get digested. Seven rival jellies want the same town. Outgrow them and gobble them whole, or spit a blob of goo to stun them and steal their lunch. Follow the colour craving for double points, catch the golden donut and go wild in the final Sugar Rush. Between rounds, spend your coins on upgrades and new flavours, level up to unlock Seaside, Snow Village and Robo City, complete a sticker album for every town, collect 14 hats and come back every day for new challenges, a login gift and a free chest. In Clean Sweep mode, no rivals: just you, 90 seconds and a whole town to swallow. Features: - Easy to play, with one finger or the mouse - 4 towns to unlock, each with its own things to gobble - 7 bots with their own personalities, no waiting for players - Battle mode and Clean Sweep mode - Sticker albums, 14 hats, 9 flavours, 4 upgrades - Daily challenges, login gift and free chest - Saves automatically - English, French and Spanish

Field manual

Move with the mouse, WASD / ZQSD or the arrow keys. On mobile, drag anywhere. Gobble anything smaller than you to grow. Press Space (or the spit button) to stun a rival. Be the biggest jelly when the timer ends!

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a flexible screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for .io arena operations

Eat at the edges. The centre of an .io arena is where the giants feed; the rim is where small players grow fat on leftovers nobody bothers to chase.
Never chase a smaller player in a straight line for long. Every second of pursuit is a second the whole arena can see, and something bigger is always watching the chase instead of the chased.
Use your size as a rumour, not a shield. The moment you make the leaderboard, you become content for everyone's evening — spend big size on safety, position and patience.

Jelly Gobble — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Jelly Gobble?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Jelly Gobble?

Jelly Gobble is filed in our .io Arena theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Jelly Gobble on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It adapts to both upright and wide screens, so phones, tablets and desktops all frame it sensibly.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Jelly Gobble is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
