There's a wealth of extra lives available as well, but you'll need every last one in order to progress through the game. Once you complete a level, you can always go back and finish up the things you missed the first time. Jersey Devil requires precise controller movement. You'll find yourself constantly jumping over bottomless pits, or balancing precariously on narrow beams. Jump, miss, fall, die.
Players can choose to jump by manual control or letting the computer do it.
Usually, running to the edge of a platform will cause you to jump automatically, but this is by no means a foolproof way of making safe jumps every time. Let's face it folks, you'll spend more of your time falling off ledges than doing anything else in the game. I recommend having plenty of extra controllers handy. You will get frustrated. You will start throwing things against the wall.
