Story

It is the year 200 billion. Vinyl is on her way to an intergalactic B-movie convention, when her spaceship is struck by a meteor shower. She crash lands on an unknown planet full of dangers.

Development

The game was created by Jason Struck and Mark Lewis, and was originally intended to be a sequel to Epic MegaGames's Jill of the Jungle. However, Epic was not satisfied with the quality of the game, and decided to release Jazz Jackrabbit instead. The story was then changed, and the game was published by Union Logic as an original title.[2]

Reception

In a 2009 review, Clint Basinger of Lazy Game Reviews called this "...one of the most solid side-scrolling platform games that I have played on a PC, or anywhere, really." He praised the game's graphics, controls, music, and tongue-in-cheek writing. However, he objected to the game's lackluster text-only ending.[3]
