In a dangerous vegetal world, help Jack to collect his most beautiful flowers !
Jack is a flower collector (a kind of mutant beetle), he loves flowers so much that he can't help but collecting them !
Entering final polishing Jack Flowers - our first game created here - invites you to a an uncommon journey.
Your goal through the game is to help Jack picking up flowers to progress through vegetal levels.
During his journey, Jack will try to find four exceptional flowers (as they would fit well in jack's collection !). These flowers are located in four different environments : Grass Land, Desert, Moutains and Pond and they are protected by many ferocious insects and traps : Bees, spiders, scarabs, and even frogs and snails !

Here's a small Jack Flowers gameplay trailer showing jack on a grass level.
More videos will be added soon !
Game Rules
Jack's gameplay is really simple : Walk (with the arrow keys) and jump (with space) to reach flowers. Sometimes, special items are hidden in places that are hard to reach : finding them will earn you extra points or special features !
Based of old arcade gameplay (remember Bomb Jack and other platform games ?), Jack can run and jump (run with the keyboard arrow keys, jump with the space bar).
As collectible flowers are usually located in the upper part of plants, you will have to learn to jump from leaves to leaves to get them.
This vegetal world is full of ferocious enemies, patroling alone or in tight groups. Don't touch them as their contact is deadly !
To complete a level, you'll just have collect every opened flower. But to enter the online Hall of Fame, you will have to think a little bit more... a high score isn't easily reached !

System requirements
The game uses advanced Java™ technology to display a fully featured 3D environment. But don't be afraid by the use of 3D graphics : the gameplay is based on the old arcade games like Bomb Jack, Super Mario or Wonder Boy, and even if the world has got a real depth, the game can still be played with 3 keys !
Jack Flowers is based on state of the art Java™ and Open GL technologies. To enjoy the game you will need :
- Broadband internet access : the game is around 10Mb, loading it will take a few seconds with DSL, and around 10 minutes with a 56k modem.
- Either a 800MHz Computer running Windows XP or a recent Linux distribution
- or, a Mac Mini (or G4/G5) with Mac OS X panther (10.3) or tiger (10.4)
- A 3D graphics card (any NVIDIA or ATI should work), with recent open gl drivers (you can get these from your computer manufacturer's web site, or directly from nvidia.com or ati.com)
- And of course, the latest Java version from the official java.com (The java 1.4.2 runtime is also fine).
