Imagine yourself as a perfectly content robot, surrounded by a bunch of baby robots that frolic and play. One day, you fall into a nap. During your unconsciousness, the babies [[For the Evulz|are kidnapped for no real reason]]. Now they're trapped in foreign lands, alone and scared, [[Slave Collar|tied to the ground by collars]]. You must rescue them.
Such is the [[Excuse Plot|story]] of ''[[Jed]]''. Using thick pixel graphics and synthesized music, it's emulative of old-school [[Platform Game|platformers]]. There's an interesting twist to game-play, though: special tiles cause Jed's [[Layered World|perspective of the world to flip]]—the background becomes the foreground, and the foreground becomes the background. Whichever is currently the background can still be seen behind the foreground in a darkened state.
Although by no means a long game, several levels test the player's skill and determination to save your baby buddies while avoiding a plethora of obstacles. Some stages contain rockets, which allow Jed to fly over the terrain, and three-shot guns that lock enemies in place for several seconds.

As a [[Freeware Game]], it can be downloaded [http://jwhiting.nfshost.com/blog/?p=13 here]. It is currently playable on [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[UNIX|Linux]] systems.
