How to Play

Have Jake eat all of the stars on a level to enable the exit. As Jake eats the stars he will grow. Don't let Jake hit any of the dangers on the levels or fall into the water. Keep in mind that the stars can act as a platform and can support Jake. Use the WASD or arrow keys to control Jake or on touch devices swipe with your finger. If you want to reset the levels (re-locks all the levels except level 1) use the Clear Data button on the Levels menu.

Tips for Beginners

Take time to explore the tools, colors, outfits, or choices before settling on a final design.
For younger players, test the controls together once before leaving them to play independently.
Creative games are better when you experiment, so try a few combinations before restarting.
