Gameplay
Jack begins the game in his bedroom. There is a peashooter on a shelf next to his bed which can be reached by jumping across the furniture in the room.
Fill the Naughtyometer by using your peashooter, smashing things by dropping, jumping on objects, and various other actions with the items Jack can find.
To jump to climbable objects, align Jack with the corner of the object in the 3D space, then press the Fire key while moving towards it to jump on top.

- Inventory
- Rash meter
Lives
Each time Jack comes into contact with an angry adult, a ghost, or a monster, the “nappy rash” meter at the bottom of the screen will increase. When the nappy rash meter is filled, Jack loses a life.
Items
To pick up items, position Jack close enough to the item, then press the Select item 1 or 2 key to place it in the corresponding inventory slot. To drop items, press the Select item 1 or 2 key again, depending on the slot the item is in.
The Peashooter
If Jack has picked up his peashooter, it can be used by pressing the Fire key and the left or right movement keys to shoot.
Shooting characters and some objects with the peashooter increases the Naughtyometer slightly.
