Brainstorming about Jellies and Abilities:
Some abilities will be in multiple jellies, because those may fit into those. That doesn’t mean that all will have the same abilities in the end. It’s just ideas.
For now, abilities are separated by movement abilities and Misc. Once the ability categories have been decided, all these will be sorted out appropriately.

- Jelly: does nothing except being the cutest friendly companion EVER.
- Trampoline Jelly: when you stomp on this jelly or run into this jelly, you get a jump boost when running on him or jumping on him while he is squished.
- Speed Jelly: when you stomp on this jelly or run into this jelly, you get a speed boost when running on him while he is squished.
- Wind Jelly: he will either suck or blow wind to propel a player a certain direction (the way it’s facing) and works like a wind whirl/tractor beam.
- Lick Jelly: you can use this jelly for multiple things, pressing the interaction key will shoot his tongue to where you aim, you can use his tongue as a bridge, grappling hook or for swinging to a new island using a ceiling.
- Canon Jelly: the canon jelly will shoot you to a certain position, this jelly has a fixed distance but can be moved if enabled in his parameters (you can also lock him in a fixed location).
- Bomb Jelly: the bomb jelly is an enemy jelly and will try to blow the player up when in proximity. he will however flash, indicating he is going to explode soon. The nearby blocks will become items on the ground and the player will either die or get launched into the air.
You can stomp on the bomb jellies to stop them from exploding and then you can pick them up when they are on their backs (instead of being squished). They will also fall on their backs if you ram into them using a speed jelly. When placing this jelly on the ground again he will start the detonation again with the indication.
- Hugger Jelly: the enemy jelly is an enemy jelly (duh) and will try to push the player of the island. With one he won’t be that much of a problem, however with an army of these you better watch out!
- Projectile Jelly: will try to shoot the player using slime balls, these won’t do damage, but will launch the player a certain direction, watch out as you might fall into the void! This mechanic can be used to reached higher areas by jumping on projectiles as well similar to the trampoline jelly.
- Parachute Jelly: when jumped on this jelly will temporarily turn into a big balloon of air. After that when picked up you can use this as a glider/parachute to traverse large pits.
- Trampoline Jelly: when you stomp on this jelly or run into this jelly, you get a jump boost when running on him or jumping on him while he is squished.

Jelly Abilities
Burn Obstacle: Fire Jelly after level 5 allows the player to burn a wooden wall or barricades to access another Island or another part of the island to visit more jellies.
Breathe Underwater: Water Slime after level 4 allows the player to swim underwater for a periodic time without consuming oxygen
Burrow: Pig Jelly after level 3 can go underground at specific spots to find items to give to other jellies
Earth Raise: Wood Jelly after level 2 to make a platform that the player can jump on to access unreachable areas.
Tornado Draft: Air Jelly after level 2 produces an updraft of wind to let the player hover for a couple of seconds could be used to bypass an obstacle or reach a zone not accessible by regular jumping.
Cat Scratch: Cat Jelly at level 1 can harvest from particular plants and bushes to get items for other jellies
Garden Patch: Wood Jellies could grow a random plant or crop in-game every 3 days for harvest by a player passively
Rock Construction: Rock Jellies at level 3 can build bridges across to access more islands without the player needing to jump
Nature’s Boon: Fruity Jellies can upgrade the effects of food recipes by a certain percentage per level
Resource Detect: Pig Jellies can detect resources found on islands within a certain distance for the player to find and collect.

Jelly Abilities
Rock Jelly Can dig for items like metal ore and other crating mats but when the Jelly digs it uses energy and how the jelly gets its energy back by eating things the player feeds to the jelly.
Fire Jelly Can use energy to make metal ore into usable bars that can be used on the crafting bench.
The gameplay loop for these two abilities would be:

Fire Jelly Can use energy to make metal ore into usable bars that can be used on the crafting bench.
The gameplay loop for these two abilities would be:
- The player would have to find a Rock Jelly
- The Player would then feed the Rock Jelly to get its energy up
- The Player would then have the Rock Jelly dig for items
- After the Rock Jelly digs a few times the player should have some metal ore
- The Player would have to find a Fire Jelly
- The Player would then have to feed the Fire Jelly to get its energy up
- Once the Fire Jelly gets its energy up the player will be about to have it turn the metal ore into bars
- The Player can take the metal bars over to the workbench to craft things (for ex: a metal ladder to reach a high place that can be jumped to)
