Plot[]

In the species which Jim is in, they are lying on the Earth and one character named Jim sleeping under a tree, and a powerful magnetic storm hits the Earth causing it to split in pieces, yet remaining in orbit. The magnetic storm is making way towards Earth. Luckily, the "Sign Spirit" comes and wakes Jim up as he takes course towards the core to stop the Earth from dying!

Gameplay[]

First Player[]

As Jim, you are just above his eye view in camera. Using the arrow keys, you let him dash around. With a press of the Z, he is jumping. Using this, he headbonk on enemies causing them to die, wall jump, and fight water currents. When Jim usually needs help, the Sign Spirit will appear and will help "the being beyond" and Jim. When finding food, Jim can eat it giving him more health then the gauge can carry. This includes coconuts, apples, oranges, pineapples, mushrooms, and melons. If Jim can get on one, he can roll on a giant boulder crushing everything in his path. If you touch a pole, Jim automatically grabs it and starts to climb it. Using this, he can cross obstacles like spikes, water, or his fear of lava which slows him down.

Split Screen[]

In Split Screen, you play as the main character Jim on the right side. But on the left side, you play as Jeniysa- an orange Jim who is the hero Jim's brother. Controlling Jeniysa with WASD and the hero Jim with the arrow keys, you are on a course together. You can either race, fight, or work together to fight enemies.

These isles contains plenty of trees surrounded by uprooted land. It only contains AntiJims, Pyrojims, and Parajims as it's Jim foes.

There are some fruit in some levels and most isles are small.

Isle Pack 02: Desert Levels[]

Dried fruit exist here which Jim actually kind of hates. Cactus is a dangerous obstacle which damages you with it's prickles. Very little, but dangerous. This place has plenty more levels.
