Jelly Shooter: guns, powers and the jelly roster

Your guns aim themselves — your job is where you stand. Who is who among the rival jellies, what the eight guns and four powers do, and how to last longer.

Jelly Shooter is a wave-survival arcade game in a glowing candy arena. You guide a round blue jelly hero around a circular ring full of rival jellies. Your guns aim at the nearest enemy and fire on their own, so the whole game is about movement: where you stand, what you dodge and which drops you grab. Play it in your browser or on Android.

How a run works

Each wave has a score goal on the HUD. Pop jellies to fill it, clear the rest, and the next wave arrives with more enemies and new types. Every fifth wave brings a boss with a big health bar and its own bullet patterns. In later waves, cover blocks rise — slip behind them when shooters open fire.

Know the roster

  • Grunts march straight at you; swift runners circle as they close in.
  • Brutes are slow but tough; dashers charge in sudden bursts.
  • Shooters keep their distance and fire; gunners walk forward while shooting; cowards back away and shoot from range.
  • Bombers rush in and explode on contact.
  • Splitters break into smaller jellies; brood jellies release babies.

Eight guns

The Pulse Blaster never runs out. Bonus guns drop from defeated jellies with limited ammo: Rapid Stream, Fire Bloom, Spread Shot, Frost Bite (slows enemies), Pierce Lance (punches through lines), Jelly Scatter and Nova Burst. Collected guns orbit your hero; the gun button rotates through them.

Hearts and four powers

Hearts restore health. Powers can be stocked and fired when you need them: Speed, Shield, Blast (a burst around you) and Omni (a sweep of the whole arena).

Lasting longer

  • Move in wide circles so the swarm stays in front of your auto-aim.
  • Stay near cover when shooters and gunners appear.
  • Keep Blast for tight clusters and Shield for boss waves.
  • Grab a fresh gun before your ammo runs dry.
  • Always know where the bombers are.

Chapters and controls

Grape Grove starts at wave 1; Berry Splash, Citrus Ring and Strawberry Peak unlock as your best score grows and let you start straight at a harder wave. Play with mouse follow, an on-screen D-pad or a floating pad, and pick a theme colour you like. After each run, the summary shows your wave, accuracy, guns and powers used.
