About the Game

From Evil the Cat’s ’Circus of the Scars’ to the planet of Meat, join Jim on a madcap chase across the galaxy. Saving cows, thwarting lawyers and outsmarting Psy-Crow are all in a day’s work for Jim. Are you up to the challenge? Can you handle the awesome new weapons? Excellent! Then stop reading this. Try it now! Trust no one, play it yourself.. or EAT DIRT!

  • Over 5 new weapons to choose from! Guns, guns, guns, guns!

  • Untraditional level designs that only Shiny Entertainment was capable of creating!

  • Returning favorite characters: Princess What’s-Her-Name, Psy-Crow, Peter Puppy, Bob the Goldfish, and several new villains as well!

  • See Jim disguise as a blind cave salamander (no, really… we’re not kidding on this one!)

  • Whip, run, jump, fly, and Snott swing your way to victory!
