About John Black: Memories
John Black: Memories is a retro-inspired action platformer that challenges you to survive a forest adventure across multiple scenarios using limited ammo, bombs, and lives while mastering a deliberately choppy movement system reminiscent of early 2000s arcade games. With no save feature, secret passages to discover, and gameplay that demands careful timing and resource management, it's built for players seeking an authentic throwback experience that rewards curiosity and persistence.
I used to play it on the television, and it made my infancy.
In 2011, Johnny disappeared from my country and it's been since then that I haven't been able to give it a taste again.
For some nostalgia reasons I guess, I long longed to propose something similar for the pc universe. Something like Johnny!
I also wanted my game to feel like a tribute to the original, since I miss it so much!
There were 6 arches in the authentic game and mine covers the first, settled in a forest and other beautiful places.
To sell without copyright problems, the whole artistic side of the project was made completely by me using Photoshop.
Some backgrounds and sounds were obtained from the internet, but always copyright-free.
Scripting was also developed by me as well as the choice of the game engine.
Characteristics
- There is no possibility to save. This is because I wanted to mantain a certain extent of atmosphere that also the original had (In fact I couldn't save there!);
- On the other hand, this game can be completed in 2 hours if you never lose and are either talented or lucky;
- Movement system is choppy and kinda slow. Again, I did that on purpose because I really enjoyed it back then in Johnny;
- It is not said that a scenario change leads to a more hostic gameplay. It might be, but that's not 100% assured;
- There are some interesting secret passages you might want to find and delve deeply into;
- You'll have a pistol with 6 projectiles and 6 bombs that are needed to go on and survive; you can find supplies for them during the course;
- Enemies respawn if you go back and forth through each screen; keep that in mind and don't waste your inventory;
- Learning the movement system might take a few tries: it's not easy to get into it and might annoy at first. Don't give up!
- You'll start your adventure with 10 lives. To increase your chances of surviving, gather up 1000 points to obtain one extra life point;
- Avoid traps, choose right timings, kill enemies, crouch when needed, detonate bombs to destroy unstable dirt, climb ladders and use moving platforms to go on!
- I reckon this game will be great for the ones who are curious!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
John Black: Memories is a nostalgic flash game from childhood that players appreciate for its quirky charm and sentimental value rather than its mechanical quality. While reviewers acknowledge it's not technically well-designed and can be frustrating with limited controls and high difficulty, they praise it as a memorable piece of early internet gaming history worth revisiting. Players seem satisfied simply having the opportunity to relive this obscure childhood game.
I thought i was the only one that played this game as a kid. I used to have it on my Dish Network provider and would play it every now and then when i had nothing to do. I found it weird but as a kid i loved playing weird flash games. Even though i was limited on controls and would die every time, i would still continue to play it. I have never beaten any of them, but i have played all of them. I remember once i stayed up all night just playing one of them when i was like 7. This game is not a good game, but it holds a place in my 7 year old heart for some reason. This along with Carrot Mania. Thankyou for making this game and giving me a chance to relive the quirky side of my childhood.7 found this helpful
