Jones on Fire
SCORE: 70
Thanks to Joindots I now know about Jones on Fire. I did a little
research after playing Jones on Fire on the Wii U. This downloadable
video game is also on Steam, iOS, and Android. I thought as much as I
played Jones on Fire. Why? Because we complete missions, purchase
upgrades, and play the levels again. One item of note, Jones on Fire is
selling for $5.99 on the Wii U, and it is selling for $2.99 on the other
systems.
Players are given three lives in Jones on Fire. This is a level based
runner. So think of an endless runner except the level ends. After that
upgrades can be purchased, and/or the player goes on to the next level.
If you lose all three of your lives then you can spend your GK resources
to get a continuation. Or you can just start over from level one. I
liked starting over since I kept all of my upgrades and money. Please
note there are also K resources.
The goal in Jones on Fire is to collect as many kitties as you can. They
are floating around waiting to be saved. If you bump into something like
a burning log, fire, or some other obstacle then a wall of fire appears
behind you. The goal then is to outrun it, and make it back to the
building without making any more mistakes. The regular kitties give the
K resources, and the golden kitties give the GK.
The graphics in Jones on Fire are blocky. Your character can trip and be
swallowed by a red wall. The red wall reminds me of lava. I believe it
is supposed to be a wall of fire. Which is definitely something we want
to avoid. The music is nice in Jones on Fire. I am not big on the
jumping special effects sound personally. There are variations in the
different levels in Jones on Fire.
I had fun playing Jones on Fire on the Wii U. This is one of those
generally mindless games. Except when it comes to missions. I had to
trip on so many logs, and run away from the fire wall so many times.
That changed how I played Jones on Fire. I had to adapt my game play to
those aspects of this video game. Jones on Fire can be addicting at
times. Especially after making one mistake too many.
