Lightning Joe knows that absolute power corrupts absolutely. But that doesn’t stop him from rocking out, collecting sparks, and moving faster than any one lightning bolt should ever move. 

 To launch Lightning Joe to his destination, just give him a good click, then drag your mouse back and release. LJ (as he is known to his friends) will bounce off walls when coming in contact with them. But, like most of us, LJ hates spikes – so make sure to avoid those. LJ is quite tricky to catch, so in order to launch him again, you first have to let him bounce at least once. Then you can just click on him again to stop him in his tracks. Throughout each level are sparks. Sparks are Joe’s source of power. When he collects more sparks, he travels faster and faster – and gets stronger to boot! He needs at least 25 sparks to get through the magical Star Gate at the end of each level. 

There are two levels to Lightning Joe, and then one final boss fight at the end (Big Red Roger). Collect sparks and take down Joe’s rival in this lightning-fast adventure!
