Pluh: Squishy Jelly Puzzle

Pluh is a glowing blob of jelly you hold in your hands. Press it and it dents. Pull its edge and it follows your finger out. Squeeze it from both sides and it gets a waist. When you let go it takes its time coming back, like slow-rise foam. Then an outline appears, and you squeeze Pluh until it fills the shape. FILL THE OUTLINE The line lights up wherever the jelly touches it, so you can always see how close you are. Fill the shape without spilling over and hold it there while a light runs round the line. Once the light closes the loop, Pluh shows you how accurately you made it. FEEL EVERY PRESS Pluh moves by its own soft-body physics. The first millimetres of a press are easy; go deeper and the jelly resists. The far side lags behind your finger, and squeezing one side makes another side grow. On iPhone you feel it too. Your finger meets the jelly with a soft tap, the hum under it deepens the harder you press, and a finished shape lands with one deep thump. The music follows your hand as well. 20 SHAPES IN 4 CHAPTERS The first chapter is round shapes, then come soft corners, real corners and curves: oval, circle, egg, droplet, lens, leaf, square, house, diamond, bean, peanut, cloud, heart, crescent and a few more. Each chapter ends in a Chapter run, all five of its shapes in a row on the way down a tall, glowing well. CALM OR HARDCORE You start in calm. Nothing counts down and there is no losing. The worst a shape will tell you is "not yet". Hardcore is for when you want a fight. Every shape and every Chapter run gets a clock, and you need a closer match to pass. Calm and hardcore keep separate progress. Or forget the shapes and squish Pluh on the title screen for as long as you like. It's one glowing blob on a dark screen, with nothing else in the way. Up to three fingers work at once. The tutorial is short and hands-on, and it teaches with the blob itself. Pluh plays offline and doesn't need an account. It's free, with no ads and nothing to buy.
