Play Jackson Online
Your little guy zips around like he’s on ice, barely dodging bullets and spikes—until you grab that speed boost and suddenly everything’s a blur. Feels like rediscovering some forgotten arcade gem, complete with the "one more try" itch.
Jackson feels like someone dug up a lost arcade cabinet from the '80s and polished it just enough to run on modern screens. You start off with this little dude who moves way faster than you'd expect—first time I played, I kept slamming into walls because the controls have that old-school twitchiness. But once you get the hang of it, weaving through spikes and dodging enemy shots becomes weirdly satisfying.
The power-ups are simple but make a real difference—grabbing the speed boost turns you into a blur, though good luck not crashing into everything. And the chiptune soundtrack? Pure nostalgia bait, in the best way. It’s the kind of game where you’ll fail a level three times, then nail it on the fourth try and feel like a genius for five seconds.
If you miss the days of quarter-munching arcade games that don’t hold your hand, Jackson’s got that vibe down perfectly.
