Your goal is to not only successfully make it from one station to the other, but also recuse every last astronaut along the way.

JELLIES! ($1.99 → Free, 42.5 MB): Help Bob the Fisherman recover his fingers from the wicked Jellies that have chewed them off in this matching game.

Jellies of different colors will freely swish around the screen. It’s up to you to connect matching Jellies by dragging your finger over the top of them to remove them from the water. Jellies can only be connected with a direct line of sight, and the more you connect at once the bigger your score. If your match comes full circle, all of the Jellies within will be removed as well, earning you bonus points. For every 100 points you score, three seconds will be added to the clock. You’re also able to deploy power-ups to remove Jellies even faster. The game includes two modes, missions to complete, loads of stats, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
