Jams & Themes:

    • The entire game is based on this theme. You need to help Jack climb to the top, so that he can slay the Giant.
  • Kuba Jam August 2024 (One vs. Many):
    • Jack alone has to fight multiple enemies to reach to the top.
    • Secondary Theme (Ancient): The game story is based on the Ancient English Fairy Tale - "Jack and the Beanstalk".
  • Swap Jam #2 (Phobia):
    • Jack always avoided to climb the Beanstalk due to fear of the Giant in his mind. But finally one day he overcame his phobia and decided to slay the Giant for good.

  • WS/Arrow Keys to move
  • Space to shoot
  • Enter to start
  • Esc to go back/quit

Tip:

  • Don't shoot the heart, collect them.
  • You need to score 1000 to reach to the top.
  • Shooting fast moving enemies gets you more points.

Why 3 Jams?

You might ask why I participate and submit games in multiple jams at a time. The reason is, it gives more exposure to my games and also makes it more challenging for me to develop a game based on multiple Jam themes and rules.


If you happen to slay the Giant, then please share your High-Score screenshot in the comments section below.

It's going pretty well. The gameplay, background, weapons, enemies, music - everything is monotonous, but nothing becomes overly boring. Only pleasantly familiar.
I like that the enemies are of different speeds. I don't like that it's not clear how far to the next level. Enemies in moderation. Hearts too. Perfect balance. Jack is good. Its image, design and music reek of old movies with tough macho men, a little less gallant than Indiana Jones. Bee animation is a separate kind of beauty here.
