Jersey Devil is a 3D platformer developed by Behaviour Interactive and released for the PlayStation in 1997. You play as the titular Jersey Devil, a mysterious, bat-like creature on a quest to stop Dr. Knarf and his army of mutated vegetables and monsters from taking over Jersey City. The game features vibrant Halloween-themed environments, collectible-focused exploration, and a mix of traditional platforming and gliding mechanics.
How to play
The objective is to explore each level, defeat Dr. Knarf’s minions, and collect the K-N-A-R-F letters to unlock secret areas. In the browser, the PlayStation controls are typically mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move the Jersey Devil. Press Z to jump and glide (hold in mid-air), X to punch or use attacks, and Enter for Start. You can pick up crates and objects to throw at enemies or discover hidden paths.
Tips
- Your glide is essential for crossing large gaps and recovering from missed jumps. Always hold the jump button at the peak of your jump to maximize distance.
- Search thoroughly for pumpkins, which act as your health pickups. Keeping your health topped up is crucial in the later, more challenging levels.
- Pay attention to explosive crates; you can throw them to break open secret walls and defeat tougher enemies from a safe distance.
