“Jump and Glide” is a great online game that quickly can help you get through a few boring hours. If you have ever played “Donkey Kong,” this is basically a grown up version. The controlled figure is much more responsive and the graphics show a sophistication usually not found in free games.

The objective is simple. Make your way through the maze, avoid the cannon balls shooting at you and accumulate bonus points by grabbing the balloons. Sounds simple but it is harder than it looks. You must keep your eyes on both sides of the screen at all times. You never know from which direction or from which height the cannon balls will be fired.

Here’s a good tip. Learn which keys help you jump and which help you duck before playing. If you press both at the same time, the figure moves sideways and you can get an extra life. But they both have to be pressed at the exact same time for this to happen. Just keep practicing if you don’t get it at first. It is tricky but well worth it.

The game can be played by individuals or at parties. It can get very competitive so remember, it’s just a game. If you want to get the really high scores, you just have to keep playing. Don’t worry though, you will never get bored. This is the kind of game you can play for hours on end. Just do a web search for “Jump and Glide” and you will find the free version.
