Jelly Jump is a strikingly simple game that brings to light one of psychology's most underrated precepts, discovered back in the Civil War era: Vierordt's law. This principle describes the well-observed predisposition of humans to overestimate short intervals of time and underestimate long ones. All you are asked to do is tap the screen to make your blob of jelly jump up to a platform above it before it closes and subjects you to the rising pool of acid below, killing you. Yep, just estimate the right time to make the jump and you keep playing,...then confront the reality that your amazing human brain just wasn't made to perform this simple task well.

Cons
Con Precious little evolution in the game environment
What you see in the first five minutes is what you'll still get three years and tens of levels down the road. Either love it or hate it, it won't seduce you later on.
Con Background music so bad you instantly search for the mute button
Seriously, whoever selected this travesty of electronica needs to find a priest and confess their sins
