Jessica's Uncomfortable Hanukkah Adventure is a retro platformer set in the world of Dog and Spider Private Investigations. Never read the books? No big deal! How many of us even care about the back story behind Mega Man or Castlevania? Be a cop out to rescue her family! Swing your baton at the jerks, shoot them, learn to be a spider that inexplicably cannot stick to walls, who knows what's ahead of you?

Hey. We know you can get an SNES game out of the closet whenever you'd like... and we aim to provide exactly the same fun you'd have doing that. We set out to make a game that our 12 year old selves would love. Why walk ALL THE WAY OVER THERE to play a fun platformer when you're already at your computer anyway?
