Description
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.

Jack Dragon and the Stone of Peace is based on a ZX Spectrum homebrew game 'Jack Dragon'. The original ZX Spectrum game is available for free, although you'll need an emulator or a real Speccy to run it!
