Game description:

Jumping Jack is a puzzle-platform game, in which you have to jump on platforms marked with , how I call it, "life bars". Has a life bar gone down to zero (which happens if the last life bar on a platform is blinking), the platform will disappear.

The goal is to remove all platforms with a life bar.

There are different other platforms, too. Platforms with a dynamite on it will explode after a time, and eventually cause a chain reaction. Platforms with arrows will move the ball in the certain direction and platforms with a chessboard look will catapult the ball in the direction it was moving last time.


What I think:

Really fun game, as the layouts are completely different in each level.

And it features a quite amazing 8-bit rendition of "Moonlight Shadow" by Mike Oldfield.
