Jay and Silent Bob Make Their Videogame Debut

Ice Cap Games and SMarcade have teamed up to bring Kevin Smith's popular characters to the Apple App Store

You might me asking just what kind of games the two make their debut in. Will they rescue animals from a pharmaseutical company? Avoid toy trucks while trying to knock out LaFours with a sockful of quarters? Peddling their wares in front of Quick Stop? Not quite, but they will re-create (sort of) some scenes from the first two movies of the famed Jersey trilogy.


The first game, aptly titled Jay & Silent Bob in Too Fat to Fly is a challenge-based physics game, where players assist Jay in launching Silent Bob through various familiar environments such as a shopping mall and the streets of New Jersey. Through the completion of challenges, players have the opportunity to unlock special features and upgrades, including new costumes for Jay and Silent Bob. Players can also unlock the extra content by purchasing virtual coins within the game, but not an extra game where Bob busts through the door to Gwen's changing room. In celebration of the games launch at San Diego Comic-Con, Too Fat To Fly also features special edition downloadable character skins of "Zombie Jay" & "Zombie Silent Bob." 

As for the next game...

Yep, Jay and his portly partner will be doing just that for Jay & Silent Bob in Let Us Dance. A press release claims, "it's breakdance party time with two of New Jersey's favorite residents. Jay's got the moves, and Silent Bob brought his classic boom box full of funky tunes (don't expect "Goodbye Horses"). It's up to you to keep the rhythm and help Jay prove to the rest of Jersey that he's King of breakers. Let Us Dance is a match-based rhythm game, challenging players to match colored-button presses to the beat of the music in an effort to prolong Jay's acrobatic dance moves. The game comes with three unique styles of music, and provides addictive gameplay like only the View Askewniverse can. 

Both games are available now in the iTunes App Store. Let Us Dance is available for free while Too Fat to Fly is currently priced at $0.99.
