About

Johnny is a platforming game by Kim Okkerstrøm, aka Kimberly Kubus and Sparlatacus, under his label of PG Games. Players control the titular Johnny, an always-smiling scraggly-toothed guy with a long, pointy nose. This nose actually factors into the gameplay, as it can be used to catch onto the edge of platforms to save Johnny from falling into a pit. Johnny's only means of defense against his enemies is to fire a projectile, which moves in the direction the arrow key is pressed (for instance, it will travel up when jumping).
