Yeah Jam Fury is a 2012 puzzle-platformer video game made by McLeodGaming and World Entertainment Studios+ (WES+, formerly known as WillyWorld). The game stars three characters mentioned in the title, Yeah, Jam, and Fury. The characters must use their skills together (for example, Yeah can place down blocks, Jam can boost on them, and Fury can smash them) to complete levels by getting a mango. A sequel, titled Yeah Jam Fury: U, Me, Everybody! was released on the 15th of December 2017.
Jammin' tropes from the game:
- And Your Reward Is Clothes: The reward for completing all levels of the original game? Golden outfits for the guys.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: At one point in "Happy Birthday", Ms. Carrot pauses the game to turn the voices off.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Yeah is associated with yellow, Jam is likewise associated with blue and Fury is associated with red.
- Dumb Muscle: Fury is this, as shown by how tersely he writes in the gang's shared notebook.
- Interface Screw: One level is flipped horizontally...without changing the controls to match.
- Meaningful Name: Fury's only emotion is Unstoppable Rage.
- Not the Intended Use: Jam uses a fairly large two-handed hammer for neither construction nor combat, but rather as a way to boost himself all around.
- The Power of Creation: Yeah can conjure yellow spheres from his hands and have them generate into cubes floating in mid-air.
- Sharing a Body: What Yeah, Jam, and Fury are doing, as indicated by the fact that only one of them can be on stage at once. The Memory Book dialogues between them touch heavily into the ramifications of all of them having the other two as voices in their head, and attempting to find a way to be separated.
- Shout-Out:
- Two levels are named "Eurydice" and "Orpheus".
- The level "Veni Vidi Vici" involves traveling up and down a long shaft to get over a seemingly minor obstacle.
- The background music for "Oh, Love" can potentially be a certain
infamous remix of 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?" - An achievement called "You're Gonna Carry That Weight".
- Talking to Themself: Downplayed; the trio don't talk to each other, but they have a notebook in which they hold conversations between themselves.
- Timed Mission: "Z-Mart" must be completed in 3 minutes or else it is failed. Several B-Side variants of other levels additionally add time limits.
- Totally Radical: Jam's in-game quips and dialogue is made up entirely of slang.
- Trademark Favorite Food: The trio are apparently obsessed with mangoes.
- Unexpected Gameplay Change:
- "Oh, Love" forces the character to keep moving right.
- "5000 Blocks" has Fury turning into a truck, massively increasing the character's hitbox.
- Levels that take place in space have no gravity.
