Guide Bomb Jack through his world defusing bombs as he goes. Each screen
is filled with bombs, which Jack can defuse by collecting them. Jack
can jump almost the entire height of the screen, and can also hover (if
you tap the jump key whilst in mid air), but there are many platforms on
the screens so you can land if you get tired!
As soon as Jack arrives on the screen, nasties will enter and try to
kill him. The bad guys start off as slow, ground-based beasts, but they
soon mutate into much faster flying fiends which are much more difficult
to avoid!
To help Jack, tokens fall from the top of the screen. These can give a
number of effects, such as bonuses or extra men. The best one, however,
turns all of the bad guys into smiling faces which Jack can then collect
for extra points!
Once all of the bombs are collected, it's on to the next screen and
faster nasties!
