Jungly 🦜

How to play Jungly

Jungly is a free daily skill game set in the rainforest canopy. Each day everyone gets the same course, and you have six shots to launch your seed into the parrot's nest. It takes ten seconds to learn and a few days to master.

How the course works

Your seed starts on a stump, a low post or a fallen log. Its height and position change every day, but it is never higher than a stump, and it can be on the left or the right. Drag back anywhere on the course and let go to launch: the further you pull, the harder it flies, like a slingshot. You can aim in any direction, from flat left to flat right. On a keyboard, use the left and right arrow keys to swing the arrow and up and down to set the power, then press Space or Enter. Green vine trampolines are springy and can bank your seed up towards the nest. Some vines swing from side to side once you launch; the dotted arc shows how far they travel, and they move the same way on every shot, for every player. Brown branches are solid, and the ferns on the jungle floor end the shot. The nest sits on a branch or on its own little tree. Its branch slopes towards it, so a seed that lands on the branch rolls home, and the tree's trunk is solid. The humid air gently slows every shot, and the humidity and vine springiness change from day to day.

Scoring and the helper

Reaching the nest on shot 1 earns 12 points, then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 for shots 2 to 6. Six misses earn 0. The path preview draws the start of your flight path for one shot at a time, on shots 1 to 3. Using it at all halves the day's score, and once you have, you can switch it on again for another of those shots at no extra cost. Courses are gentler early in the week and trickier towards Sunday; the stars show today's difficulty.

Streaks and badges

Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your cleared streak counts the days in a row you've reached the nest. Play seven days in a row to earn a cycle bonus of 7 points, or 14 if you cleared all seven. Your best play streak unlocks new seed skins at 7, 30 and 100 days.

Tips

• Watch where your last shot ended (the numbered leaves) and adjust a little at a time.
• A gentle lob onto the nest's branch often rolls in, so it doesn't have to be a direct hit.
• Use the fine-tune buttons or the arrow keys for small changes in half-degree and one-percent steps.

What Jungly trains

• Hand-eye coordination. Lining up the shot and judging the pull.
• Intuitive physics. Predicting how your seed bounces and rolls across the course.
• Learning from misses. Adjusting angle and power after every try.
