Jelly Brawl: Classic

Jelly Brawl: Classic points straight at party chaos: a brawler built for quick matches, messy movement, and the kind of slapstick energy that works best with a crowd. By our assessment, the strength of a game like this is immediate readability; you can usually see what is happening at once, which matters in a local or casual multiplayer brawler. The downside is also built in, because this style often lives on simple rules and can run out of depth once the novelty fades. In practice it is the sort of thing that wants noisy sessions, short rounds, and players who are happy to lose in funny ways. It sits in the same broad space as other light arena brawlers rather than technical fighting games. Jelly Brawl: Classic is all about fast, silly collisions, and the ceiling is set by how much chaos the format can keep fresh.
