Jerry Boy is a cute platform game by Epic and published by Sony. The game starts when the young prince Jerry is about to marry the lovely Emmy. But things are about to change for the worse. Tom, Jerry's jealous brother, engages the services of a ruthless wizard and turns the poor prince into a blue slime. The young man escapes but gets swept away into the city sewage system. He then is most fortunately rescued by a kind old man - Jelly boy now embarks on a long journey to reclaim his identity and to find his lovely girlfriend. Jerry has the incredible ability to control his gelatinous body - he can flatten or stretch it to hit nearby enemies or stick to walls and ceilings. He can also swallow all kind of items usually found inside plants and use their unique properties - red balls can be thrown at the enemies (or collected for extra life), Iron balls can be used as a projectiles, green seeds can grow sort of beanstocks to climb on and so forth... The game has a lot more surprises in store such as the five letter flags that spell Jerry hidden in each area. Finally, every couple of stages, Jerry visits villages or towns - there he has the opportunity to talk to people and learn a bit more about what lies ahead.
