Jack
From Spheriki
Jack is an action platformer game based off of the Jack webcomic, by David Hopkins. It was created by Team Happy Rainbow Panda Bears, of which Beaker is a part, and its release was announced on the Spherical forums on November 9, 2006. The game contains violence and gore.

Description
The game largely consists of running, jumping and hacking your way through a dozen stages, with multiple game modes building on top of that. Playing as Jack, most of your foes will simply run at you and lash out. Some enemies will shoot, some will spout acid, and some breathe fire. And there are a couple of particularly tough boss enemies that you will have to overcome to reach the end of the game.
The rest of this article is quoted from the author.
Play as Jack, the sin of wrath, who is really pissed off with his brother sin Vince for some unknown reason that's never explained! Venture through scenic locations as you tear through some of hell's creatures, all the while on your way to face your brother. Enjoy the violent gore system as you watch heads bounce, walls stain, and guts splat!
Like games with enthralling storylines? Tough luck. This game is about ACTION. Action, and BLOOD. That and oldschool pixel art goodness.
With 12 stages spread across 6 levels, 9 game modes, bonus games, and super secret bonus content, all ready for you to unlock, Jack is sure to entertain for hours!
Game modes
There are 9 game modes in total available. Three "normal" modes: Easy, Medium, Hard, three "Hardcore" modes, and three "Wrath" modes. The latter two modes are unlocked once you've finished a previous mode (so finishing a normal mode unlocks the hardcore ones, and a hardcore one the wrath ones). As well, the time trial mode for each level is unlocked when you've completed both stages to that level.
There are also three bonus games - one unlocked when you finish the game once, another when you finish it with a high wrath score, and another when you finish it with a low wrath score.
System requirements
The game requires about a 1 GHz system. The game will run on lower end systems, but it will be slower and may not even be playable.

Download
The game can be downloaded at http://www.rpgmaker.net/~beaker/Jack_Game.zip. The download size is around 37 MB, for which I apologize to those with slower connections. There's a lot of high quality music made by my music guys in this, and the filesize couldn't be lowered.
