On the surface, Jelly Defense adheres closely to basic TD mechanics, with upgradeable jelly “towers” placed on a fixed path, power-ups and boss fights.

The basic objective of the game is to defend a group of green crystals against the monster invaders by placing colored jelly “towers” on specified spots along a fixed path. As part of ID’s series of ‘Jelly’ themed games, leading to Jelly Defense, Jelly Defense I never imagined Infinite Dreams, best known for the likes of iQuarium and Let’s Create!
