ESRB rates JellyCar 2 for Wii and DSi
16
If you've never experienced the impossible magic of JellyCar, the XNA and iPhone platforming sensation, then you might not get as excited as we are about these two recent ESRB listings for JellyCar 2. The ratings board recently slapped an E (as in, for Everyone) on the sequel, which is apparently expanding from its current home on the App Store to the WiiWare and DSiWare platforms in the near future.
On one hand, we're excited about the proliferation of the JellyCar franchise in any way, shape or form. On the other hand, we're still pretty upset that Disney didn't take our suggestion for the game's title, which was, of course, JellyCar 2: 2 Fast, 2 Gelatinous. We'll feign indignance, but we anticipate we'll purchase at least one of these new versions of the game once they hit their respective platforms.

You're not going to believe it. He wanted to make it free on Xbox Indie games, but Microsoft said no. He said it had to be free because he had promised all those people who worked on it, it would be free. He said he had no way to pay all of the different people who worked on it if he charged for the game. He then put it on the iphone app store and it became like the #1 selling game.

I hear him. Or maybe I don't, because I don't really even like it. I played it for a little while--the free version, mind you--but was not compelled by the sum of its parts. I love a quality, minimalist game, but there needs to be some aspect about it that's deep. This one felt too simple on all fronts.
I liked the menu though, and the jelly physics were visually impressive, but didn't yield (imo) a horribly compelling gameplay experience. To me this was like impressive water physics on something like Koi pond: impressive technically, but not all that fun in the end.
That said, I will not argue against success. If this this is selling like hotcakes, good for him to get it on Nintendo's stuff. I wonder if that whole "payment" issue GordoJones mentioned has been worked out?

Isn't it amazing how many people get downvoted when they start their comment off with "I know i'm gonna get downvoted for this." It's like their trying to bipass the system by stating that they see it coming.
Nothing against you or your arguement bud. You're not the first person to do this. Everyone at some point has, i know i have. It never works.
I'm gonna try a new theory. The downvote phrase at the end of the comment.
"I know i'll be downvoted for going completely off topic!"
*stomps feet, fake closes door, hides in darkness to see what happens
