Play Jelly Boy Online

Jelly Boy came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995, published by Ocean Software. It was one of those many platformers from the era that tried something a little different with its main character. You don't control a person or an animal, but a blob of jelly, which immediately sets the tone for the kind of physics you'll be dealing with.

You guide the jelly protagonist through a series of side scrolling levels, with the main goal being to simply reach the exit. His gelatinous body is the core of the gameplay; you can stretch him thin to slide under low obstacles, bounce off enemies and surfaces, and stick to certain walls and ceilings to navigate. The challenge comes from managing his squishy form while avoiding hazards and enemies that can split you into smaller, harder to control pieces. It's a game that feels consistently silly and unpredictable because of its central mechanic.
