Rovio is known for Angry Birds, but Jolly Jam is their latest game and it drops today. It is a classic puzzle game, that’s gameplay revolves around casual matching. It follows the trend of match 3 games like Candy Crush and other fast-moving matching games that have hit mobile. Jolly Jam takes a different approach and brings it with fun and entreating gameplay, along with some very nice graphics.
For Jolly Jam, Rovio worked with Magic Tavern to deliver this puzzle game. As Wilhelm That, the Head of External Products at Rovio, said “Jolly Jam is a next generation puzzle game with a truly innovative gameplay mechanic and incredibly beautiful graphics.”
I had the chance to play Jolly Jam prior to it’s release, it does have a few unique features that make it a very compelling puzzle game. For starters, the graphics are really nice and keep you entertained. Secondly, you are not matching 3 of the same object in a row, with Jolly Jam you are creating boxes and trying to think about which one will get you the most points. The objects in Jolly Jam are different pieces of fruit and if you do some special moves, you get double pieces. Plus, as you move forward on the path you can special items that you can use to pull one piece of fruit out and eventually you will have monsters appear in the board that you have to get rid of by matching quite quickly. All of this, plus a nice musical score and simple gameplay that makes you think, shows that Rovio put some time in to this title.
Jolly Jam is dropping today and if you are a fan of puzzle games or if you want to try one out, I would give it a shot, but it might get addicting. You can see a full press release and a gallery below. We would like to thank Rovio for providing us with a copy of “Jolly Jam”.
