Lets face it… sometimes, videogames can be a bit weird. For example, who ever thought to mix colour matching with time trial style rally racing? And then to decide it should graphically look like something involing alien pond snakes and cellular life? Makes no sense, right? We at PomPom pride ourselves in making as little sense as possible. Hence our decision to do all the above. The result is JellyPops.
It goes something like this: You control a strange snake creature, which resides in a strange pond in a strange world with some strange rules. The aim is to stay alive as long as possible. Staying alive drains your live force, so Snake needs to collect life force gems to keep it going. With time, life gems become more and more scarce, resulting in a desperate race to reach the next gem before its lights out.
Between Snake and the life force gems are a myriad of other beasties that require special attention. Coloured Jellies which boost your gems value when collected as part of a combo. Teethy fish things that try to blast you with plasma. Spikey rocks and walls. Bouncing spherical cells that can be controlled and used as battering rams. Each level with its own unique mechanics to understand and master.
Features :
- Available for iPad/iPodTouch & iPhone
- Endless survival gameplay
- 8 ponds to traverse
- Fun, slippy slidey racing type gameplay
- Touch & Tilt control options
- Bonus Spirit and Boost unlockables
- Medals awarded for achievements
- Custom music which dynamically chages with gameplay
- Quick playtime. The perfect game for filling 5 minutes.

As we are feeling a bit festive in the run up to that magical wallet destroying time known as Christmas, we have just dropped the price of both Astro Tripper and Alien Zombie Megadeath to $4.99/£3.99 on Steam.
Thats right. for the price of a pint and a packet of crisps ( In London ) you can willingly put yourself through arcade gaming madness! Get your joypads out and enjoy! ( A spare joypad is recommended, as they don’t last long when being thrown across the room )
In between getting our games resdy for Steam, we’ve been putting together a small fun game for iOS devices ( iPhone/iPad ) called Monkey Bumb. Where you bump monkeys, surprisingly, into the path of falling fruit. The more fruit you collect the more juice in your tank, the further you go. There are hazards of course. Coconuts, that are not so great… wasps and spiders… but mainly the fear of having no more juice in your belly.
Some screenies:
We’ll be releasing the game in the coming weeks. It’ll be cheap. It’ll be fun. It’ll be a little bit silly.
We hope to have a local PomPomGames.com version available soon after, but initially it’ll be exclusive to Steam.
So, PC gamers, stop with the silly mouse nonsense. Shove a MS joypad up yer USB’s and enjoy some outright arcade shooter silliness. You wont regret it!
