About John is a lifeguard
John is a lifeguard, but in this little platformer his job is bigger than watching the beach. The world is under threat again, and the only way to protect it is to sprint through the levels gathering as many rings as possible.
Expect a classic run-and-jump adventure: hop between platforms, bounce over gaps and take down the creatures that try to stop John along the way. It is quick to pick up and a nice fit for a short gaming break.
How to Play John is a lifeguard
Use A and D to run left and right.
Press W to jump over obstacles and onto higher platforms.
Hold Shift for a burst of speed, and use mouse clicks for the on-screen buttons.
Collect rings and defeat the enemies in your path to finish each stage.
Tips & Tricks
- 1Slow down before tricky jumps – rushing with Shift held is the easiest way to miss a ledge.
- 2Look for rings placed high above the ground; they often mark a safer route.
- 3Jump onto enemies rather than running into them from the side.
