Really cool game! I could see my self playing this for a very long time, but only if there were more levels and abilities... Different weapons, and more specials (like the double-jump) and some passive abilities like coin-magnet, monster repellant or others... 4/5 so far, but loads of potential for a 5/5 game!... Good job!

The boss is really easy once you understand that you can't attack him before he - by himself - gets down. After that it is just how much time you have.

What a miserable existence. Doomed to have your body torn apart by a mysterious explosion every 30 seconds..only to be born again, just to be blown apart again..for all eternity..how depressing.

All right folks, it's theory time. I'm gonna try and explain why what happens in Johnny Upgrade happens. Here goes: You never play as the original Johnny. The robot has found a way to cause the environment where the "level" is to cause people to lose every skill they have, and filled the air with poisonous gas that you can't last very long in. Johnny knew of this, and since he can't fight the robot himself, he has created an army of clones. Every upgrade you get is an upgrade for the clones; giving them the ability to keep their skills in the crazy environment. See, these upgrades are expensive, and being a superhero isn't a very high paying job. The actual Johnny is seen in the loading screen, the beginning when Johnny explains the whole upgrade thing, and the ending, where Johnny is seen flying away. The actual Johnny can fly, you see, but he can't seem to figure out how to get his clones to do so, although he did manage to give them a double jump. What do you think?

!!!TIPS FOR THE BOSS!!!
Stay under him, dodge his fire. When he starts spraying bullets, remain under him for protection. When he stops spraying he stomps the ground. That is the time for you to go next to him and shoot him while he's on the ground and while he's taking off. Repeat until he's dead. I finished with full health and 50 sec left, so no problem.
PRO TIP: shoot at the boss until he dies.

Really loveable game! 20 Johnnies out of 20!
(I could listen to the soundtrack as if it were some sort of popular pop song! XD)

This was wonderful! I love how if you figure out the shortcut you can save a lot of time, and you need all the upgrades to win. The boss felt very Zelda-like to me so I found it easy, but it was definitely challenging enough to make it worthwhile.

Oof. For anyone here who is confused about the rating, this used to be quite an enjoyable game. The wall-clip glitch wasn't always present in the game, and definitely wasn't occurring as recently as a year or so ago so it wasn't due to a dev update. Something with the way flash is handled now must have somehow caused the glitch, and it completely breaks everything now making the game unplayable. Rest assured though that the game used to be quite bug-free and very enjoyable which is why it has such a high rating. It's a shame to see it's become so unplayable now.

I agree with many people on the graphics. With as quickly as you end up moving and as much as is going on onscreen this game needs a low-graphics option for those of us who use slower/older/campus computers.

@Natelys, I had trouble at first, the trick is to stay directly underneath the boss until he is about to pound the ground.

First, I looked what was on screen and died. WTF ? Then looked at upgrade board and understood. Nice, short, fun, this is how flash games should be imho. Voted 4/5 because it could have more stuff to upgrade like some others said. Can't wait for a sequel.

Fun. Worth coming back to once a year or so. Much easier now I discovered the secret passage. Didn't know about that before!

If you want a fast track to the boss while skipping all the enemies, upgrade your jumping and get double jump as well. At the area you start off at go left and jump to a hidden area you should be on the bottom floor.

@beeble2003: Read th3ch0s3n0n3 comment. Only the first shot will hurt the boss each time it hits the ground. So with a fully powered-up gun, it will take 4 times for the boss to hit the ground for you to kill it. Which means you only need 4 shots when you enter the boss room. @NatelysWhore: For the rapid-fire volley, you don't dodge THROUGH the volley. The point of the volley is to force you to be underneath the boss. Then all you need to do is run left and right and stay under the boss while it shoots downwards. That's why vincentp said it was easy. If you want to get some experience dodging the boss's attacks, do a search in Kongregate for games that have the tag "Bullet Hell." They'll make dodging the bosses attack in this game a cakewalk, which is probably why this game only has an Easy Badge.

There's a weird bug that keeps making me go into the walls. Like not just pass through them, I'm INSIDE the walls and can't get out without letting time expire or suiciding. Please fix this!
