Developer Walaber initially released the soft physics driving game JellyCar on Xbox Indies and PC well over a decade ago, and it became one of the earlier releases in the iPhone era. We first posted about the game way back in October of 2008, almost 13 years ago(!), and the game officially launched later that same month. That first JellyCar game was a huge success, and about a year later and in partnership with Disney, a bigger and better sequel appropriately titled JellyCar 2 made its way to the App Store. This too was a success and was followed by JellyCar 3 in early 2011, which we also enjoyed. That means that… yes, some how, some way, JellyCar 3 launched more than a decade ago. That is just TOO LONG a span to go without a JellyCar game, and Walaber apparently agrees as this week he’s announced that a brand new JellyCar game is in the works with the following teaser.
That may be just a brief teaser, but I can clearly see that this will be the squishiest JellyCar yet. For his part Walaber has been plenty busy since those original JellyCar days. He went on to join publishing partner Disney and was the lead designer behind the phenomenal Where’s My Water? which went on to see major success and multiple spin-offs and sequels. He’s also released other physics-based solo projects like the quirky Wobble Frog Adventures and Pro Gymnast, as well as being one half of Very Very Valet developer Toyful Games. I have so many good memories of playing the previous JellyCar games, but sadly all of them have been removed from sale over the years, which should be considered an actual crime in my book. So it’s extra important to me that this classic series is being revived. We will of course keep tabs on how the new JellyCar project shapes up, and if you want to follow along for yourself you should check out the game’s website as well as Walaber’s Twitch channel and Twitter account.
