Weird and somewhat funny bugs.
After I beat it I decided what the heck lets mess around with it. Some rather comical bugs I have found.
First off it is possible to enter the water mini-game while in the jaytrix but it is unplayable due to the guy and the crab not showing up. However after you drown you will still be in the jaytrix color scheme yet it will be the normal overview.
After seeing this I thought could I have fun with it. The answer is yes as you can see below.

The above is the result of jatrix+ water minigame + rocket mini-game which was not only played in jatrix but also upside down. When finished I was left with the above....
Fun game...some parts are a little too tough. For example - the targets. I use a track ball, and it must have taken me 1/2 an hour to get enough.
Bummer note -- I was well into the game when I went into the Jaytrix, wasn't having any luck and decided to come out and try back later...none of my progress was saved. Too much effort to go back now.
NOOOooOOoo!!! WARNING TO ALL: This may sound a bit obvious so then this is just to address people like me. If you leave the Jaytrix by right clicking and selecting "Forget My Progress", it will forget your progress...completely...in the whole game. Not just in the Jaytrix!! You will have to start all over. Like me... :*-( So BE CAREFUL!
A little Easier and much faster way to get the big rock to show (don't know if this is already discovered)
but after you discovered the frog behind the rock and you restart the browser, you'll notice that a little rock is already in place of that previous big rock, to the "leftist" side. destroy that rock and click on the tree to place one closer to towards the right, and closer to the tree DON'T DESTROY IT THIS TIME. now click on the tree once more and the big rock should appear. it happened pretty much every time i tried it.

I've also managed to complete the entire game, and noticed a little "Easter Egg" as well:
This requires you to complete the entire game. Go and try out ANY of the mini games that require you to leave the forest-like stage (such as going under water, entering the Jaytrix, or playing the rocket stage) you'll notice that the sun will come up all over again and 8/10 so does the welcome sign which will drop into view, but not always.
Does anyone have a cheat for the underwater game?
After about a million tries, I just can't get to the end of that one & all the rest of the letters seem to depend on it.
I got 9 other letters all by myself & it's a shame to have this frustrating #?*!ed "game" destroy the experience. Jaytrix was a piece of cake next to this.
Love the concept, but will probably have to give up after so much frustration.
1) Correct. The wand is single use. You'll have to retrieve it again to use it again.
2) The Wizard will come out if a condition is met.
zann - don't give up! The underwater game is really easy if you keep this in mind:
Clicking farther away from the stick figure causes it to move faster and jump higher. An absolute necessity for the underwater game.
Nathanyel, to see the wizard fly, every time:
make sure the stick figure is always on the right, standing by the fire - then the wizard flys out from behind the tree.
If the stick figure is in the center of the screen, than the wizard only peeks out.
One other tip, that made a big difference to winning the underwater game!
Click on View
Click on Toolbars
Deselect your navigation toolbar and/or bookmarks toolbar . . .
You can jump higher!
My guess is that it is something within your configuration.
The game has been successfully tested on all 3 platforms and a wide variety of browsers.
Can you try disabling any plug-ins you may have added to your browser set-up? Can you try using a different browser? Can you try accessing it from a different computer?
There's this weird double
jaytrix
that can be done.
Get the wand to drop, then get the guy on the side away from the fire. Go into the jaytrix, then use the wand on the guy. You'll go into the minigame, with no guy and no crab. Just run out of oxygen, then you'll be taken back to the "jaytrix" except with no maze. Then, right-click and go back into the jaytrix. I think this can be infinite times, actually.
Hi Jay what a great idea making your banner into a game. I was able to do almost all of the letters - with help of the walkthrough - but I am just too stupid to get the S and way too slow for the L in gameplay. I never was any good in Hapland. So now every time I go to your site I am (not so gently) reminded of my failure :}.
Oh well nevermind I still loooooove your site and now on to the new Haluz and Gotmail, there goes the rest of the day.

or
heya luv this game but i'm pretty crap i got. 4 or maybe 5 letters lit up
cannot at all do any of the jaytrix stuff my screen half fills up with stripy squares [is that normal] and i don't know how to get back to that normal game
NEED HELP NOW ...................PLEASE
please help
HELPHELPHELPHELP
QUIK
I found this weird but cool glitch in the game. It makes everything upsidedown while your not in the Jaytrix.
While the rocket ship is still on the screen get the frog and turn it into a guy. then right-click and click "the jaytrix has you". then, very quickly, clck on the guy so he will enter the rocket while the jaytrix is loading. Now you will end up playin the space ship minigame upsidedown. If you finish the minigame everything will go back to normal exept for the fact that you are still upside down!
I found this while screwing around with the game.
haha I found an easter egg, though more of a bug than anything... If you click the big rock
the one with the frog behind it
as it is falling you grab the rock and what's behind it at the same time. It also continues to follow the mouse no matter how much you click. Anyway, I have found much enjoyment out of this great idea!
Aww, nana, don't feel left out. :)
It's really quite easy. Here's a step by step:
First click the stickman to go over to the fire.
Click on the fire to light the stick. The fireflies should become attracted to the stick.
Click the stickman again to go take the lit stick back over toward the letters.
Make sure the right lantern is lit, and let the stick burn out. The fireflies will be attracted to the right lantern.
Turn off the left lantern so the fireflies don't get attracted to that one.
Now without any delay in between, click on the red switch inside the "L" and click on the right lantern to turn it off. The fireflies should light the "L" if done correctly.
Argh! I cannot for the life of me get that frog to turn into a person!
Here's what I'm doing:
1) Get the frog so it is sitting where the rock was.
2) Get the frog to jump onto a lily pad.
3) Get the wand.
4) Drag the wand onto the frog.
All that does is scoot the lily pad over a bit!
What am I doing wrong?
veggie - I think the problem you're having is with the hotspot for the wand, which is not the tip of it. Try using the tip of the mouse pointer as the hotspot instead.
JKoss - assuming you have the rocket ship showing, just turn the frog into the little guy before you make him jump on a lily pad.
cheers, nana. ^_^
very nice game, i like it, and i have to say that finding that G wasn't easy lol, but the most hard thing was the rocket, the jaytrix maze was easy, well, once you get what it really is lol, i just did this: start pressing all the sides lol, and from where did you get the Jaytrix? that name is soo cool lol, keep doing games, i'll play them, take care, farewell
JAYTRIX MADE SIMPLE
___________________
How the map works, made simple:
* . *
* . *
* . *
that would mean you can go North (up) or South (down). East (right) and West (left) are blocked.
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
I have now numbered the 9 spots... the only ones you can click on are 2 (move North or up), 4 (move West or left), 6 (move East or right), and 8 (move South or down).
To solve the map...
The map starts out with...
. . .
. . *
. . .
... that means you can go up, left, or down. Go up. Keep going up until you can no longer go up.
Once you do that, start going to the right (click on number 6).
You'll hit some deadends, so backtrack one position and then go down... eventually, you'll see a Star. Position the star in the center and you win.
... forgot all that graph paper stuff.
I just discovered JIG last week and I have to say what an awesome place it is. What a great idea to have a playable banner Jay! You can add my applause to the rest of the great comments about your website. The user feedback on each game is the icing on the cake that sets you above the other gamesites. I would never have completed The Banner Game without the help. Thanks Everyone.
And since I didn't see it in the comments yet... here's one last spoiler for those who completed the game:
You can change the lilypads colors with the wand. Repeated wanding cycles through the available colors. Also, you can get a third lilypad by pushing one of the existing two over to the left behind the sign and then pushing back to the right
Zeke - thanks for making my day a special one. :)
Stephen - unfortunately, it won't be easy to help you with this because the stars are randomized so it's not the same for everyone who plays. I managed to get it by accident more than once without trying, so perhaps just try a few different sequences until you get it? I think there's only 5 of them to deal with. Good luck! :)
Okay, after numerous reloads it worked fine. However, the problem now is that I can't get the rocketship to show up!
You know, I caught the cloud in the water and all, and I turn the frog into that guy and all he does is wave at me! I look through the walkthrough and I didn't do everything in order. Is that the problem?

Great game by the way.
Please, I'm pulling my hair out here.
Does anybody have any tips on how to beat the
rocket mini game?
I must have played it 30 times and I always die at or right after the bit where you have to zig zag up and down 3 times. And I have the feeling there's a lot more to come after that.
Perhaps my reflexes are really bad, but I did manage to pass the targets.
It doesn't help that if I accidentally move my mouse off the top of the banner the ship jumps back to the centre of it. And yes I have closed the navigation toolbar.
Any ideas? It's the last letter I have to complete!
Thanks!
Hi Kassandra!
I'm sorry you're having trouble with the rocket game. When I played through the game the first time I managed to complete it on my first try.
However, subsequent attempts required more than a single pass to get it right, so I do understand what you're going through. I can say that there isn't a lot beyond the point you're getting stuck, so keep with it, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! :D
I CAN'T DO THE ROCKET SHIP!!!
I get up to the point where he goes in the ship but I can't do the mini-game! Any pointers?
It's So Frustating
(sorry about the spoiler thing, I couldn't help myself but at least it isn't 'two' extreme (Bad pun, I know))
