More about this game
In Jellyfish Glide, your goal is to swim as far as possible through an endless, scrolling coral reef. The core loop revolves around balancing the constant downward pull of gravity with your upward pulses. As you progress, you must carefully navigate your jellyfish through the gaps in the coral columns to score points. The difficulty remains steady, but the pressure builds as you try to beat your high score. A run ends immediately if you collide with a coral column or sink to the ocean floor.
Tips
- Establish a steady rhythm with your pulses to maintain a consistent altitude in the open water before approaching the next coral gap.
- The coral gaps have a base height of 520 pixels, which gives you plenty of room if you aim for the exact center.
- Avoid hitting the invisible ceiling at the top of the screen, as it will instantly reduce your upward speed and push you downwards.
Questions
How do I score points in this game?
You earn exactly one point for every coral gap you successfully pass through. The score updates as soon as your jellyfish clears the center of the column.
What causes the game to end?
Your run ends immediately if your jellyfish touches any part of the pink and blue coral columns, or if you sink too low and hit the ocean floor.
Can I play this game using a keyboard?
Yes, you can use the Spacebar or the Up Arrow key to pulse your jellyfish upwards. You can also press the Enter or R key to quickly restart after a game over.
