The briefing

About this game

In Bomb Jack II, Bomb Jack sets out to collect gold scattered across a series of ledges after saving the world in the first game. Unlike the original, movement is flick-style: Jack can move to a ledge positioned directly in one of the four compass directions.

Ledges may be open or shut, with open ledges offering more points. Collecting 10 open-ledged gold pieces in a row awards an extra life, encouraging careful route planning. Enemies can be pushed from ledges, but doing so consumes some of Jack’s limited energy.
