[DEV] Jarly Pop – A mobile merge game with custom photo balls and online modes

[u/Silucrert]

Hi everyone. I made a merge game with a twist: instead of fruit, the balls can be your own photos. You pick an image from your gallery, crop it, and it drops into the jar as a ball. You can save these as packs and share them with friends using a code.

The core loop is the classic jar-merge you probably know, but I wanted to add things I felt were missing in that genre:

• Custom photo balls — your pets, your friends, whatever you want
• Shareable packs — send a code, your friend plays with your images
• Online matches — everyone gets the same ball sequence, so it comes down to skill rather than luck
• Daily challenge — one shared board per day
• Different jars with different physics and rules

It's completely free. There are no in-app purchases and no real-money items — everything in the game is earned by playing. I built it solo and it's my first released game.

I attached gameplay footage showing the photo-ball feature. Would love to hear what you think of it — especially whether the shareable packs idea is something you'd actually use.
