Installation
Jack
the Uni-Psychle Demo requires 1.4 MB of space to operate on
(the ipk is gonna need about twice that much to install)
and requires 8mb of runtime memory. Also, Jack
the Uni-Psychle
requires libSDL and libSDL-mixer. I have provided both for you
in this download zip.

Controls
How
exactly do you play Jack the Uni-Psychle?
Well, it is actually very simple. The game only uses the left
and right on your arrow keys on the front face of the Zaurus,
the Ok button on the front of your Zaurus cover, and the mail
button on your Zaurus cover. This is the 4th small button from
the left if facing the Zaurus.
In
Game Controls
Move left ~ Left Arrow Key
Move right ~ Right Arrow Key
Jump ~Ok Buttom
Psychic Attack ~Mail Button
Pause/UnPause Game ~ Home Key*
*the
square key above the directional keys.
Now
that you know the controls, the game play is quite simple as well.
You navigate Jack around by using the left and right buttons and
you jump from place to place to avoid falling into holes. There
are 2 main types of non boss enemies in the game. The walking
enemy and the jumping/hovering enemy. You defeat the walking enemy
by jumping on its head and you defeat the jumping/hovering enemy
by blasting it with your Psychic Attack. The five end-boss machines
are unique and it will be up to you to figure out which attack
is required to defeat them.
Now all of
the menus of the game can be controlled via the mouse(stylus)
or the keys on the front cover (with the exception of the Secret
Code which requires the number keys from the physical keyboard).
There
are four types of menus that you will encounter in Jack
the Uni-Psychle. The first is the Main
Menu. You have three options: Start, Options,
and Quit.
|
MainMenu
Screen
Key Commands
Start ~ Ok Button
Options ~ Select Button (the button in the center
of the 4 arrow keys)
Quit ~ Cancel Button
|
|
|
The
next menu screen is the Options
Screen. |
Here
you can use up and down to select either music, sound
or secret code. When Music is selected you can use the
left and right keys to move the slider left or right effectively
lowering or raising the volume of the music.
|
|
We
recommend about a 1/3 on the slider so that the music
does not over power all of the sound effects) You can
use the Select Key to check and uncheck the Music checkbox,
to enable and disable the music. Sound works the same
way as music as far as controls go. When you have Secret
Code selected you can then use the numbers on the keyboard
to type out passwords. And finally the Cancel button will
bring you back to your previous menu.
|
|
The
next menu screen is the Profile
Screen.
|
This
screen is so you can select an empty profile that your
game will be saved in. (Jack
the Uni-Psychle autosaves after each level)
At this screen you can use Up and Down keys to navigate
between the 3 profiles.
|
|
If you have previously saved games then you can use left
and right to roll back and forth to and from your previous
level saves. Now with one of the profiles highlighted you
can press the Ok key to select a new game to be saved into
that profile or you can select to continue from that profile
at the level you have chosen by pressing the Cancel Button. |
|
Our
final menu screen, the InGame Menu,
works just like the main menu. |
The
Ok button chooses resume game, the select button chooses
the options menu, and the Cancel button chooses quit
game.
And
there you have it for the controls.
