Who knew the Jelly Belly brand was so versatile. The soda line, I totally get - Jelly Bellies are freaking delicious, so a line of different flavored sugar waters makes perfect sense. But a video game? Maybe this would make sense as a promotional giveaway, but asking people to pay for a candy-branded game just seems kind of... hopeful.
Classic arcade gameplay is the name of the game for Jelly Belly: Ballistic Beans. Blast your beans from the giant cannon in an effort to clear the board and collect power ups.
A fast-paced arcade style game of skill, Jelly Belly: Ballistic Beans promises simple but highly addictive gameplay, providing an experience that will appeal to casual players as well as the seasoned veteran.
Who knows? Maybe this will be the next Bejeweled and I'll look like a fool, but I'm betting it's just going to end up a footnote in a future Weird Game list.

Since you're reviewing games, I'd love to have you take a look at our game - ItzaBitza - http://ItzaBitza.com. What's cool about it is it uses what we call Living Ink - so what a kid draws comes to life. What is terrific for the kids is reading comprehension (reading sentences and knowing their meaning) is a natural part of the game play.
thanks,

Wow - I'll admit, Margaret, that looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, my household is a Mac environment, so my daughter's out of luck as far as giving it a try. I'll probably post about it, though.
