Jack B. Nimble

Great little gem of a game, Nice side scroller. Graphics are identical to that you would see on a gameboy color. Soundtrack and effects replicate the good old days. Basically your Jack! your mission? Whip the candlesticks and run as fast as you can and long as possible, without falling or hitting walls. The game grades your score with distance, candles, and accuracy. You get to play on diferent levels as you progress and increase your overall total score, as well as unlock different skins that are versions of the character. all in all I would say this game is pretty fun, great time killer, I played it for a few hours and for whatever reason, steam did not record the time cause I was offline? Only way I could think of for it doing what it did. But help support this developer by buying the game, they truly do have a gift of capturing the classic era and may be inspired to continue developing even further on this game or different ones.

Wonderful game with awesome chiptunes! Definitely inspired by: 1. Castlevania, with its music and whipping mechanics against candles 2. The on-rails platformer levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 3. The speed of Sonic the Hedgehog All of this makes for great gameplay based on judgment and relfex-based button presses. It's a simple game, but it has a lot of value despite its simplicity.

Love the gameboy Asthetic. And where can I get my hands on the snow mountains theme? I want to listen to it without panicking I'll die any second

It's a fun game with classic Gameboy vibes, but this time it's 4K capable instead of a small DOT Matrix screen The developer Sean Noonan is a great guy as well currently working on a new title called SENTRY by Fireblade Software which is a retro shooter

Very fun and addicting game. Love the old school graphics and music too. Would recommend.

very nice visuals, simple, great soundtrack!

Como um jogo arcade infinito você geralmente espera algumas coisas - Um sistema de pontuação simples de entender - Uma mecânica explorável - Pouca ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quando você realmente quer marcar uma quantidade de pontuação absurda Nesses aspectos o jogo cumpre muito bem a não ser de ter uma soundtrack maneira e um pixel art legal, mas esse é o limite do jogo...É um jogo infinito como subway surf ou escape the temple

Really cute endless runner with a distinctive gimmick: the whip, activated in midair to try and extinguish any candle on the path, as they are essential to multiply the final score; just managing to not fall as long as possible doesn't cut it. Even before that gimmick is revealed, the homages to [b]Castlevania[/b] are clear, with a couple of 8-bit styled tracks being outright remixes of famous music from the Konami franchise. The Game Boy inspired graphics are nice, and the unlockable palettes are quite faithful to the different "styles" of the old Nintendo portable we are used to, including the 4-color palettes of the Super Game Boy accessory. I don't know if it happened randomly or because of specific conditions, but at some points I got a "What a horrible night to have a curse..." message, folllowed by having to play with a Virtual Boy palette - cursed indeed. The first few unlocks come fairly easily and are a nice way to rope the player in, as the requirements for the rest ramp up. However, I have to question the way the Rocky Rapids level is generated: far too often crates are placed unfairly, smack in the middle of fairly narrow platforms, with an easy chance to either land just behind the crate, or manage to land on top or on the other side, only to not have enough time for the physical reaction necessary for another jump before falling from the platform. It's jarring because the levels unlocked beforehand, besides occasional passages with too many narrow platforms in a row, feel much more fair. Even if one isn't interested in setting some record, it's a perfect little time waster.
