History VideoGame / Jed

%%* HundredPercentCompletion

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: In this case a hat, a beard and a tie.

%%* BrutalBonusLevel: Challenge.
* CollisionDamage: the only way enemies can actually damage you is through contact.
* ConvectionShmonvection: "Challenge" takes place around some sort of [[LethalLavaLand lava flow]].
%%* CosmeticAward: ''all of them''.
* CuteMachines: the babies are freaking ''adorable''.
* EscortMission: what the game boils down to, although you can [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential go right past the babies in favor of reaching the exit]].

* FloatingPlatforms: which ones are actually ''floating'' can be difficult to decipher at times, due to the game's world-flipping nature.
* ForTheEvulz: the enemy robots' motivation for everything evil they do, according to WordOfGod.
* FriendlyFireproof: the few times you get the enemy-freezing gun, the babies are immune to its shots.
%%* GameplayAllyImmortality
* GottaCatchThemAll: '''semi-important'''-type.
* HailfirePeaks: Challenge earns the triple word score via the FridgeLogic listed above.
%%* JetPack
* JumpPhysics: somewhat like that of ''VideoGame/CaveStory'', in that the Jed glides more than drops.
%%* LayeredWorld
%%* LethalLavaLand

* MechanicalMonster: the [[PaletteSwap upscaled]] piranha and walker robots.
* MercyInvincibility: extends past normal CollisionDamage to [[SuperDrowningSkills water]] and [[LethalLavaLand lava]].
* NintendoHard: The SlippySlideyIceWorld segments. Dear God, the SlippySlideyIceWorld segments.
%%* NonLethalBottomlessPits
* OneHitPointWonder: until you've rescued at least one robot, Jed will die from a single hit.
* PaletteSwap: of the "same color, get bigger" variety.

%%* PiranhaProblem
* PowerUp: the JetPack and pellet gun.
%%* {{Retraux}}
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots or MechanicalLifeforms: it's difficult to say which, due to humanity's apparent nonexistence.
* SelectiveGravity: a select few objects delight in punching the law of gravity square in the face.
* SlaveCollar: used to keep the baby robots in place.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: Patches of snow drastically change the movement system--Jed skates rather than walks, and there's ''massive'' inertia toward changing direction, even in jumps.
%%* SuperDrowningSkills
* TimeTrial: getting your collective time to less than seven minutes unlocks the beard.

%%* WaveOfBabies: [[spoiler:the final storybook picture.]]

* [[HundredPercentCompletion 100% Completion]]
