Jbert

Description (Game published on 2008-07-24)
Jbert is a new and improved version of Qbert. No longer confined to the pyramid platform, JBert opens up the playing field to many different and challenging configurations. Also, the odds are more even since Jbert now has the ability to shoot bullets from his snout. Removing the clumsy keyboard controller, you now navigate with the mouse which makes for much more compelling game play.
Instructions
Use the mouse to highlight adjacent squares and then click to jump to them.

- My name starts with a J. Since it is my version, I thought I would brand it with my initial.

- adds a few twists to Q*Bert, not bad though. why Jbert though? why not Ibert or Zbert?

- I agree that the original Q*Bert was better, but I like seeing old classics again as a flash game. It's a good idea to add special improvements, but for the nostalgic feeling it would be better if the player were able to switch all specials off.

The whole point of the discs was to escape and clear the board of enemies. Here they just bring you to the top? Well if the green goblin is bouncing around up there, guess what? You die. Discs: Not better.
Firing is useless 50% of the time because you're facing into the walls. Even when you're not, I figure it's of limited usefulness. At the best, impractical. An improvement? Not a very useful one, so I'll call this one "meh".
Maybe the game gets better after the basic pyramid levels, but right now I don't really feel like trying to find out.
Hopefully you take my criticism constructively; I do generally try and want to get people to make better games.

- I've played a LOT of Q*Bert in my day, and this quite simply is no Q*Bert.
Sure, you copied the basic design and attempted some things to make it "better", but one thing people often forget to realize is simpler is often, quite frankly, better.
Let's start with the controls. The mouse is an absolutely horrible way to control Q*Bert, at least to someone who's played the game. You're so used to being able to go exactly where you want from where you are it just becomes second nature. Now I have to move the mouse awkwardly and click? Not better. (In MAME I have my keys set to 7913 on the keypad for easy control.)
As for the enemies bouncing all over instead of just downward, ok, whatever, I can deal with that. Q*Bert did just fine itself, however, with enemies having differing gravities to provide some mix.
