Fans of Kevin Smith's slacker universe can get excited today, as developer Interabang Entertainment is launching a Fig campaign today for a Jay and Silent Bob game called Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch.

A 2.5-D beat-'em-up in the style of Streets of Rage and Double Dragon, Chronic Blunt Punch will let you and a friend step into the shoes of Jay and Silent Bob as they fight their way through hordes of enemies.

The two stars are trapped in a massive mall looking for their loyal chronic customers, and have to fight their way through this strange mega-mall to find them. True to the series, Jay and Silent Bob can add insult to injury with what Interabang call the Convo Combat system. You can match phrases for "Yo Momma"-style insults while comboing with your fists for double the effect.

I...don't think I want this.

 

[iamsirjoshua]

My SNES is ready.

 

[theRizzle]

If they made this slightly "adventure-ish" like the old Beavis & Butthead game for Genesis I could maybe get behind it... but just a regular-ass beat 'em up? I'll pass.

 

[Oddduck]

From the developer of Super Comboman?

 

[super-famicom]

Snooch to the nooch!

 

[Acquiescence]

About half of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is the funniest shit ever. The other half is throwaway bobbins. I would play a J&SB game that had that same ratio of laughs to non-laughs.

 

[Houndi101]

Is (not anymore so) Fat Kev Smith voicing Silent Bob?

 

[Platy]

Should have been their super hero versions =(

 

[ComputerBlue]

Agreed.

I was excited until I saw beat 'em up. Who knows though, Scott Pilgrim was amazing, this might be as well.

 

[Tain]

A 2.5-D beat-'em-up in the style of Streets of Rage and Double Dragon

uh, sure

god, this is everything I don't want

 

[SilentRob]

Holy Shit.

The year of dreams continues.

 

[Brashnir]

sounds like a pretty chill voice-acting gig. Show up for one day, say your line, and collect your check.

 

[Mase Gumble]

10 years ago I'd have been mad hyped for this, nowadays, not so much.

 

[KojiKnight]

uh, sure

god, this is everything I don't want

I too once watched an episode of Ren and Stimpy...

 

[depths20XX]

Yeah, who gives a shit about Jay and Silent Bob anymore?

 

[AAMARMO]

My body is ready

Spoiler

this is the developer

 

[Triggerhappytel]

uh, sure

god, this is everything I don't want

Good grief, that art style is hideous!

 

[jholmes]

Yeah, pass.

Make a Clerks game and we'll talk.

 

[Revolutionary]

"any requests?"
"yeah, make my character beat up Bruce Willis"
lol

Looks like it could be cool. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

 

[shandy706]

What is fig.co?

 

[Methamatics101]

Is that fuckin' Elias in the introduction video? Damn.

 

[Sinatar]

Yea no.

 

[Het_Nkik]

What is fig.co?

New crowdfunding site that has people from Double Fine on its board of directors or something.

Psychonauts 2 launched the site.

 

[Ubersnug]

Hideous art style? I think it looks great. Hoping it has the charm of Scott pilgrim.

 

[mattp]

no chance in hell this gets funded
who wants this? lol

 

[Vandole]

Once you got an audience, milk them for all their worth!!

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I'm listening to the smodcast right now where the developers are talking about the game. Sounds fun. I like the idea of the insults before a fight making a difference. Sounds like my kind of stupid.

 

[Creamium]

If anything, they should've used the artstyle of the cartoon series (or something that resembles it). This doesn't look too hot

 

[Host Samurai]

Im a total sucker for 2D sprite based beat em ups. There is not 1 that I didnt enjoy.

 

[Insane Metal]

What the what... that looks horrendous. And the video was all kinds of bad. Ouch.

 

[Warxard]

My body is ready

Spoiler

this is the developer

Holy shit it is?

 

[5taquitos]

Seriously, they had the perfect style already. This looks atrocious.

 

[VeryGooster]

Charles Barkley should be in it

 

[Red Blaster]

jay and silent bob are stupid characters. couple of stoners spouting dumbass catch phrases like a third-rate cheech and chong or bill and ted. fuck jay and silent bob, fuck them up their stupid asses.

 

[Kyou]

I remember the 90s! Here, take this fistful of money

 

[Nirolak]

New crowdfunding site that has people from Double Fine on its board of directors or something.

Psychonauts 2 launched the site.

This is a wonderful summary of Fig's problems.

Spoiler

Psychonauts 2 was the third project.

Well at least I proved useful as an example for the average person's knowledge about the site.

 

[paragonpro]

Eh, I used to think jay and silent bob and the view askiuniverse were the best thing ever. But alot of the jay and bob stuff, outside of clerks one and two, and dogma, is really dumb. Though I do like the art style they are going for.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I see this having a hard time getting funded....so that will make FIG's success rate at 50% (and the first game only funded $1,000 over it's goal...).

 

[awilliams213]

I like Kevin Smith his SMODcast is pretty entertaining. Disappointed it's a brawler considering his career I would have loved to see it be an RPG.

 

[The Elite]

This looks like fun. I am interested.

 

[JBourne]

I was all for it until I saw the art. Definitely not for me.

 

[tim.mbp]

First fig campaign I won't be backing!

 

[NinjamicWZ]

I don't think they get why people like Jay & Silent Bob.

 

[phinious]

If it was a toejam and earl clone, I'd be in.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

If it was a toejam and earl clone, I'd be in.

Wish I hadn't read this because now I want it. Will still fund this.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Holy Spumco

 

[Naythan]

Kevin Smith should have retired after Clerks 2. His legacy has been forever tainted by shit like this.

 

[LyleLanley]

This feels like it should be a free flash game.

 

[Stiler]

Direction of the game is disappointing.

I think something more like South Park- The stick of Truth would have been a faaaaaaar more interesting game.

Where it's more about the story and wacky situations Jay and Silent Bob get into while going throughout the world (made up of many famous areas from the Kevin Smith movies, from the mall in Mallrats to the iconic clerks store, etc).

HAve quests, characters to talk with, even expand it more by having a newer dialogue/choice system that allows you to change and shape how things play out a la Witcher 3.

I would have been a LOT more interested in that type of game rather then a generic "beat em up" sidescroller.
