Jumping Jack

Jumping Jack is quick and bold.

With skill his story will unfold.

TCKSOFT Retro Series #2: Jumping Jack

If you had a ZX Spectrum 16K then you probably remember this game as there were not a whole lot of games for this machine, they were mostly for its big brother with its whopping 48K of memory.

One of the original jumping games - before those Doodles were a twinkle in the author's eye.

Features: BEEP style sound effects, single colour graphics, 80s style addictive gameplay.

Doesn't Feature: Colour clash. :(

Coded in Monkey in 2013 and released on Google Play. No longer available there so uploading here.

Can play with cursors and space, or joystick. Original touch controls are touch each side of the screen to move that direction and tap both sides at the same time to jump. It's a bit fiddly.

For the long due rerelease I finally also added something that was missing. Hitting enemies now makes a squish sound and flashes the screen like in the original - before it just acted as if you fell.

Should work full screen on phones as it was coded for them in the first place, but if there are any issues please let me know.
