Jumping Shell Game

Jumping Shell is a clever puzzle platformer where you control a character nested inside multiple layers of shells. Your objective is to reach the exit of each stage by hopping in and out of these shells, using them to double-jump over hazards or shedding them to squeeze through tight spaces. The game demands both platforming precision and puzzle-solving logic as you figure out the exact sequence of shell hops needed to clear the path.

Each level introduces new obstacles that force you to think carefully about where you leave your empty shells. A discarded shell can act as a stepping stone or a weight to hold down a button, but you can only recall it if you have a clear line of sight. As the puzzles become more complex, you will need to plan your moves in advance to avoid getting trapped without the layers you need.

Controls

• Move: Left and Right Arrow Keys or A/D
• Jump: Up Arrow Key, W, or Space
• Exit Shell: Down Arrow Key or S

Tips

• Before making a move, trace your path to the exit and see where you'll need the extra height from a discarded shell.
• You can jump off a shell in mid-air immediately after exiting it to reach higher platforms.
• Remember that recalling a shell requires a direct path. If a wall is in the way, the shell will be blocked.
