Stuck on one of the Jelly Busters hard levels? According to Google’s autocomplete, the levels players search for most are 904, 117, 97, 350, 18, 84, 165, 51 and 87. We found two walkthrough videos for every one of them except 904, and the guide below covers those eight. Six of the eight carry the game’s red or purple hard-level banner. Two boards, 97 and 117, show up with two different pictures in different videos, so check your board before you copy anyone’s moves. Below you’ll find what each board looks like and what makes it tricky, two video solutions per level, a solving order that works on any board, and what coins, lives and continues cost you.

Quick answer
- Send the colors on the outside first. A jelly on the conveyor only hits exposed cubes of its own color, so colors buried in the middle of the picture are wasted until the outer layers are gone.
- Keep a waiting slot free. A jelly with ammo left after its lap parks in one of five slots. In the videos, the slot row lights up red once all five are full, and that’s when runs fall apart.
- Linked jellies leave together. Two or three jellies joined by a bar have to go out as a group. Make sure you have belt and slot room for all of them.
- Replay and learn the order. One App Store reviewer near level 1,500 says replaying is how you learn the color sequence a level wants. Two reviewers say the game eases up after repeated fails, for example by splitting linked jellies or moving a color to the front.
- Save coins for continues. A win pays 30 coins, or 60 if you watch an ad, while reviewers say a continue costs 800 coins.
- Level 904: no walkthrough video for it turned up on YouTube when we checked (October 27, 2026, 03:30 UTC). The general solving order below is your best bet for now.

If the conveyor and waiting slots look familiar, that’s because Jelly Busters plays a lot like Loom Games’ Pixel Flow!, with jellies in place of pigs. Our Pixel Flow hard levels guide covers that game, and its level numbers don’t carry over.

How Jelly Busters levels work
Moon Active’s App Store listing calls it a cube shooter with a skatepark theme. Here’s how a level plays out, based on the store screenshots and the walkthrough videos:
- A pixel picture made of colored cubes sits inside a looping conveyor. Below it are five waiting slots and columns of jellies, each with a number.
- Tap a jelly at the front of a column and it rides the belt around the picture, firing at cubes of its own color that face the belt. The number is its ammo, and it counts down with every hit.
- A jelly that runs out of ammo leaves the stage. One that still has ammo after a full lap drops into a waiting slot, and you can tap it to send it out again.
- The counter next to the belt entrance (5/5 in Moon Active’s screenshots) shows how many more jellies the belt can take right now.
- Clear every cube to win. The videos show a reward screen with “Claim 30” or “Claim x2 60” (with an ad), plus a progress bar toward the next unlock.
Harder boards add extra pieces. Mystery jellies are white ghosts with a “?” that hide their color until they reach the front. Linked jellies are joined by a bar, like the pair of red 40s in Moon Active’s level 7 screenshot. Ice jellies sit inside a light-blue block with a number. Netted sections are parts of the picture covered by an orange mesh, as on levels 84 and 117. A row of four booster buttons with counters sits at the bottom of the screen in the videos. Moon Active doesn’t explain them in the store listing beyond “trigger a massive blast” and “set off chain reactions”, so we won’t guess what each one does.
A solving order that works on any board
- Count the colors on the edge of the picture. Only those jellies will hit anything right now. A jelly whose color sits deep inside just rides around and lands in a slot.
- Look one jelly deeper in each column. Each move reveals what’s behind it. Pick a move that also uncovers a jelly you’ll need next, or turns a “?” into a known color.
- Treat the five slots as your safety margin. On red and purple levels, stop at three or four parked jellies and let the belt clear before you send more.
- Don’t send two of one color at once unless there are plenty of exposed cubes. Two jellies split the same cubes, and both come back with ammo left.
- Plan around linked groups early. One reviewer describes being stuck on level 64 for three days with seven to nine jellies still on the board. On boards like that, linked groups are what fill the slots fastest.
- Use your fails. The layout stays the same between tries, so note where the mystery jellies sit. One App Store reviewer says linked jellies “might become singular” on later attempts. Another says the game eventually helps by splitting a piece or moving a color to the top.
Jelly Busters hard levels: boards and video solutions
We matched each level to at least two walkthrough videos and checked the frames to confirm the board. The banner color is the color of the level badge at the top of the screen in those videos. Blue is a normal level. Red (with a skull icon) and purple mark harder ones.
| Level | Banner | What’s on the board | Video solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | Blue | A winking orange cat holding a big red heart (hence the “level 18 cat” search). An early ice jelly sits in the queue | Puzzle Gamer, Game Rush |
| 51 | Red | A shouting news reporter with a red microphone in front of a blue “NEWS” backdrop. Mystery jellies from the third row on | tryingtoplaymobilegames, Game Rush |
| 84 | Blue | A pirate captain in a skull hat, with two netted sections (top right and bottom left). Mystery jellies in the second and third rows | tryingtoplaymobilegames, Game Rush |
| 87 | Red | An open book under a blue night sky. Several ice jellies and mystery jellies in the queue | tryingtoplaymobilegames, Game Rush |
| 97 | Purple | Two versions: a genie in a blue turban on a starry black background (Yardie Mix, 8 days old) or a desert sunset with cacti packed with linked jellies (Daisy Gaming and others, about a month old) | Yardie Mix (genie), Daisy Gaming (desert) |
| 117 | Red | Two versions: a bearded wizard on a red background with a netted square (Yardie Mix, 6 days old) or a pocket compass (Daisy Gaming, about a month old) | Yardie Mix (wizard), Daisy Gaming (compass) |
| 165 | Red | A domed palace on a green hill under a blue sky with birds. Ice jellies and linked jellies | Daisy Gaming, Game Rush |
| 350 | Purple | A clownfish inside a round stained-glass pattern of green, teal and pink cubes. Mystery jellies in the second row | Daisy Gaming, NR gaming over |
The starting jellies also differ between videos of the same board, and reviewers say the game changes linked groups after repeated fails. So match the picture first, then treat the video as a guide to the order, not a script to copy tap for tap.

Level-by-level tips
Jelly Busters level 117
Check which picture you have. On the wizard board, the red background is the biggest single color, so your red jellies have the most to hit early. In the videos, the netted square near the top is still in place after much of the wizard is gone, so expect it to be one of the last areas you clear. The compass board mixes a pink-and-blue ring, a white face and an orange-and-red needle, so colors are more scattered and you’ll park more jellies.
Jelly Busters level 97
The desert version’s queue is full of linked pairs and trios, and in NR gaming over’s video all five slots end up full near the finish. Clear the orange sky and the pink band while you still have room, and send linked groups only when the belt counter shows space for all of them.
Jelly Busters level 350
The stained-glass ring mixes small patches of green, teal and pink, so no jelly gets a big run of hits early on. That’s why both videos run close to 10 minutes. Work from the outer ring inward, and keep the white and orange jellies for the clownfish in the middle.
Jelly Busters level 18
It’s a normal blue-banner level and the earliest one on the autocomplete list. The red heart and the orange cat are the two big color blocks. Send those first and leave the small black, white and green details for the end.
Jelly Busters levels 84, 165, 51 and 87
On 84, both netted corners are still in place midway through Game Rush’s run, and the skull hat is one of the last pieces left in tryingtoplaymobilegames’ video, so keep a slot free for the end. On 165, the green hill is the largest area, and in Daisy Gaming’s video an ice jelly sits at the front of the first column. On 51, the reporter’s blue suit and the backdrop share shades of blue, so check which blue a jelly is before you send it. On 87, the night sky’s dark blue and teal make up most of the board, and ice jellies are scattered through the queue.
Coins, lives and continues
The economy is the biggest complaint in the App Store reviews, and the numbers line up across reviewers:
| Item | What players report |
|---|---|
| Coins per win | 30, or 60 if you watch an ad (also shown on the win screen in the videos) |
| Continue after a fail | 800 coins; one reviewer says there’s no ad option to continue |
| Lives | 5 |
| Win streak | Up to 3 wins in a row, each adding a small boost, lost when you fail |
| Expert levels | Random bonus levels with 3 tries. The reward drops after each fail, and after the third you’re sent back to a regular level |
| Hard level spacing | One reviewer counts about four levels between the hard ones |
The US App Store lists ten coin packs from $1.99 to $19.99 (checked October 27, 2026). Players are split on whether you need them. Some reviewers say certain hard levels felt impossible without boosters. One reviewer passed level 161 after about 70 tries without paying, and another near level 1,500 says they never spend money.

FAQ
How do I beat Jelly Busters level 904?
We couldn’t find a walkthrough for level 904 yet, even though it’s the top level search in Google’s autocomplete. Use the solving order above: clear the outer colors first, keep a slot free, and send linked groups only when there’s room. We’ll add video solutions when they appear.
What does the red or purple level banner mean?
It marks a harder level. In the videos, normal levels have a blue badge, while levels like 51, 117 and 165 show a red badge with a skull and 97 and 350 show purple. Reviewers refer to “Hard” and “Super Hard” levels.
Why does my level look different from the video?
Some levels have more than one board. Level 97 appears as a genie or a desert, and level 117 as a wizard or a compass, in videos posted weeks apart. The game also seems to adjust linked groups after repeated fails, according to reviewers.
Is Jelly Busters pay to win?
It’s free to play, but the coin numbers are tight. A win pays 30 coins (60 with an ad) and a continue costs 800, according to reviewers. Many hard levels can still be beaten with replays, and several high-level players say they never pay.
