Personal review

A platform game which is kinda infamous because of its bizarre humor. Gameplay reminded me a lot of the original 'Wonderboy'. The game becomes very difficult soon because without precise jumps you won't stand a chance and fall down one of the numerous pits. And when you don't constantly collect fruits your life bar will decrease slowly but steadily.

Official description

This comical action game features two bungling detectives, J.J. and JEFF, as they travel through a total of six fields. One day, a request comes into their office to take a case that requires them to "rescue a wealthy man who's been kidnapped." Choose between the two characters and set off alone to outwit your partner and save the day. Each field is broken down into four areas, where enemies, as well as your partner, will try to keep you from your goal. There are many items throughout each area. Kick around in various locations to make them appear. Jump and spray-paint your way toward your goal. If you find a hidden room, you can regain health while being completely entertained by its short sketch and surreal allure.
