Jinx (video game)

Jinx is a 2003 platform video game developed by HammerHead and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.

Before reaching the final level of the game, players will travel through the candy-colored castle of Mamoo City, the waterlogged rainforests of Zonimama, the sand dunes and mock-Egyptian architecture of Pyramidicia, the underwater realm of Aquaquatica, the garish Spookyland, and the pirates' hometown of Buccaneria--all of which will be inhabited by different enemies.

[1] The titular character in the game is a failed magician who, as the son of an incredibly powerful wizard, has somewhat embarrassingly ended up working as a court jester for King Mamooset XIV.

The plot of the game sees Jinx awakening one morning to find that his world has quite literally gone mad.

[1] Eurogamer rated the game a 4 of 10 stating "Overall, you'll play worse games than Jinx - it does what it sets out to do; i.e. be a safe, neat, no frills platformer, that is suitable for children.
