Level 1 being played: five jelly pieces and their creatures on the 6 by 9 board.

How to play

Drag. Feed. Twist.

Every board is a 6 × 9 grid, five jelly pieces and a crowd of hungry creatures. Easy to pick up — and from level 5, things start to turn.

Step 1
Drag a piece
Drag a jelly piece onto a creature of its colour, one cell at a time. It can never step on a creature of another colour.
Step 2
Feed every creature
A piece stays on the board until the last creature of its colour is fed. Feed every creature to finish the level.
Step 3
Fewer moves, more stars
Every level has a par, the shortest known solution. Finish close to it for three stars — and every star is worth coins.

New at level 5

Tap a piece to turn it

Each tap turns a piece a quarter clockwise around its own pivot. It turns only where there is room: while you hold it, the game previews where it will land and shows anything in the way in red.

A piece never turns through a creature or another piece.
A landing that doesn't quite fit is nudged one cell, towards the middle first.

Level 5: a red piece is tapped and the landing of its turn is previewed in green on the board. — Tap: the landing is previewed

Level 5 after the turn: the red piece has turned a quarter clockwise into its new place. — …and it turns into place

Stuck? Boost it.

Hint
Lights up the piece to move next, without giving the move away.
Hammer
Smashes a piece that is in the way, along with the creatures only it could have fed.
Undo
Takes back your last move.

Level 1, for real

This is the game's own first level — the same board, read from the shipped level pack, played on a port of the game's own rules.

1Drag a piece onto a creature of its colour.
2Feed every creature to finish.
3Fewer moves, more stars!

Par is 7 moves: finish in 9 or fewer for three stars. A piece can never step on a creature of another colour. Rather not drag? Tap a piece, then move it with the arrow buttons under the board. On a keyboard, Tab to a piece and slide it with the arrow keys.
