Jack Dragon and the Stone of Peace DEMO
A downloadable game
NOTE: THIS IS A FREE 12 LEVEL DEMO, NOT THE FULL VERSION!!!
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 got 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 touching 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.

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

Having played Jack Dragon it is an absolute joy! It handles tightly like similar games before it, but Jack Dragon has a style all its own. My friend tried it & wants to know when its out. Its one of those 'a minute to learn, a lifetime to master' kind of games that everyone likes straight away. A technical marvel & charming in its presentation.
Thank you thank you thank you for giving it a go, and for your kind words! I’m speechless and very happy to hear you had fun with it and I can’t wait for you to play the full game when it launches next Wednesday (the 18th)! Cheers!
