Jack Dragon is a retro love letter to 80 and 90s arcade games. Avoid nasties, jump on platforms, glide around the screen and collect gems! Sounds easy, right?


A tale of Jack Dragon:

The Stone of Peace,
Smashed to bits, 
By Lord Moneybags,
Who up and split.

Moneybags gains, and everyone suffers,
Everyone fighting, sisters and brothers.

Jack the Dragon,
He's just volunteered.

He'll find all the shards,
That have disappeared.
Collect all the gems,
To keep things on track.

Restore the peace stone,
To bring peace back.


Gameplay: 

Collect all of the gem pieces to progress to the next level. Avoid the nasties. Collect the snowflake power up to freeze enemies in place (you are an ice dragon, after all!). 


Controls: 

Gameplay is similar to the arcade game classic 'Bomb Jack'. Tap the jump key to fly, then when you are in the air you can tap the jump key multiple times to glide. 

Keyboard:

  • SPACE - Jump / Glide (TAP this key to glide)
  • Left arrow - Left
  • Right arrow - Right
  • ESC - Pause menu

XBox Controller:

  • Left stick - Move
  • A - Jump / Glide (TAP this key to glide/hover)

  • Local leaderboard!
  • A psychedelic gem tunnel effect at the end of every level!

What a fantistic game. Love playing this. Its a colourful, bright and cheerful game. The sound in the game is spot on and enhances the experience. 

The difficulty modes work well, starting off with the too easy mode, breaks you in to the game. Then the other two get tougher and provide more of a challenge as you get better at the game.

I cant think of a better way to spend a few pounds / bucks and have a quick game on this. It will keep you going back for more. Horay for Jack Dragon and Kudos to PsyschicParrot for a great game... hoping for a follow up game. This would lend itself to a Amiga port as well!

Thank you for posting these amazing words! Really appreciated. I do love the idea of an Amiga port some day, but I've never programmed the Amiga outside of AMOS. Hmm.. wonder if I could make this game in AMOS?? Anyway, thanks again. You rock!
