A toy-themed action platformer starring James Pond
The briefing
In his second adventure, James Pond sets out to recover toys stolen by Dr Maybe. His Inspector Gadget-style stretch device lets him reach higher areas, grab ceilings, and slide across them.
The sideways-scrolling levels are themed around toys, including sporting goods, candy, and aircraft. Each level requires Pond to collect two penguins and reach an exit, with multiple exits and secret areas providing extra exploration.
Worlds are arranged in pairs of three-sublevel stages, followed by a boss encounter. James Pond: Codename Robocod was released for Nintendo DS on August 30, 2008, and was developed by VectorDean and published by Codemasters.
