Advergaming Fun

I've talked about advergaming on this blog before, so I won't rehash any boring old explanation of why it's awesome. The reason I'm posting on the subject this time around is to share an awesome game I found through StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon, by the way, is one of the best things on the internet. If you haven't downloaded it yet, stop reading this post and do it now. Seriously.

Anyways, the game is called Jelly Jumper and it was created for Logitech. The goal of the game is to use your arrow pad to move this little green jelly dude across a virtual keyboard covered in various perils. Logitech, in case you weren't aware, is a maker of, you guessed it, computer keyboards.

The game, despite its simple premise, is surprisingly fun. Plus, toward the upper levels it starts getting real tricky. What's cool is how Logitech, without having to plaster their name all over the place, still makes a strong brand statement. For example, giving out 20 percent off coupons to players who reach a certain level creates a reward for the player and promotes business for Logitech. You should check it out if you've got a few minutes (or hours) to waste.

P.S.
If Jelly Jumper isn't fun enough for you, try their other game Jelly Battle. It's gruesome jelly action for the whole family.
