Jelly Break is a colorful match-style puzzle game where your goal is to clear jelly-covered tiles from the board by matching three or more same-colored elements.

What distinguishes Jelly Break from standard match-3 games is the jelly layer system. Tiles may have one or two layers of jelly covering them. A single match next to a jelly tile removes one layer; a second match clears the second layer entirely.

The game introduces new obstacles and mechanics progressively: locked tiles that cannot be swapped until unlocked, chocolate tiles that spread if not eliminated quickly, and licorice barriers that block movement. These elements transform Jelly Break from a casual swap game into a thoughtful puzzle experience where level objectives genuinely require planning.

Jelly Break follows match-3 conventions with jelly-clearing as the primary objective:

1. Understand the Goal — Each level displays the target: clear all jelly from the board within a limited number of moves. Check both the remaining moves counter and the jelly coverage map before starting.
2. Swap Adjacent Pieces — Click/tap a colored piece, then click/tap an adjacent piece to swap their positions. The swap only executes if it creates a match of three or more identical colors in a row or column.
3. Clear Jelly Tiles — Any tile adjacent to or part of a successful match removes one layer of jelly. Tiles with double-layer jelly require two hits. Always prioritize making matches next to stubborn jelly tiles.
4. Create Special Pieces — Matching four pieces creates a striped piece (clears an entire row or column); matching five in an L/T-shape creates a wrapped piece (explodes in a 3×3 area); matching five in a row creates a color bomb that clears all pieces of any selected color.
5. Use Special Pieces Strategically — Save special pieces for areas where regular matches cannot easily reach, particularly corner jelly tiles and isolated areas.
6. Complete the Level — Clear all jelly before running out of moves to advance. Remaining moves convert to bonus points.

• Move Counting: Every swap costs one move, regardless of whether it creates a large or small match.

• Left-click a piece — selects it (often highlighted with a visual indicator)
• Left-click an adjacent piece — attempts to swap; executes if a valid match results
• Alternatively: Click and drag from one piece to an adjacent piece to swap
• Click a special piece then click target — activates special piece at the designated location

• Tap a piece — selects it
• Tap an adjacent piece — swaps (if valid)
• Swipe directly from one piece to an adjacent piece — the most fluid mobile input method
• Pinch gestures on the board scroll or zoom the view on larger level layouts

Pro Tip: Efficiency Tip: - Plan your swap path before touching pieces.

• Jelly Break rewards thoughtful play and board reading over rapid swiping.
• Jelly-First Mindset: - Always ask: "Does this match clear any jelly?

• Special Piece Creation: - Four-match striped pieces are most useful for row jelly or column jelly patterns.
• Cascade Management: - Look for matches at the bottom of the board — they cause the most cascades as pieces fall.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Ignoring corner tiles until late in the level — corners often require 3–5 moves to set up access
• Spending moves creating special pieces without a clear plan for where to activate them
