Play as your Spicy Side in the Slim Jim Online Game

The Slim Jim Online Game went the extra mile with this webgame and literally puts your own Spicy Side in Spicy Town. Let me explain that so it makes more sense, although it’ll stay on the weird side!

The story goes that a Spicy Side is a violent alter ego of a person who eats a Slim Jim. When you go to www.spicyside.com you can create such a Spicy Side caricature of yourself. You do this by uploading a picture of your face, maybe edit it a little to make it fit on-screen, and after that the game generates a personalized evil Mini-Me avatar out of you and you redo it until you get one you like. You can see my Wacky Supa below, I look a little like G-Man don’t you think?

After that you’re dropped in the middle of town to:

* Talk with others online via the chat window at the bottom of the screen; swap stories, talk politics or share horn-grooming tips and then roll your mouse over their nametag to add them to your buddy list.
* Punch “X” and kick “Z” everything in Spicy Town. Spray painting walls is cool too, just don’t let the “giant” cop bust you. Not only is causing a ruckus a good way to blow off steam, it’ll help you find spicy meat. Thirteen different Slim Jims are hidden throughout Spicy Town. Crouch (push the down arrow) to pick them up.
* Climb the leaderboard by scoring more points by collecting all thirteen Slim Jims and by winning fights.
* Roll over another Spicy Side’s nametag to challenge them to a rumble. The more points you earn from fighting, the more special moves you unlock. The punch and kick fights are surprisingly simple fun and the special moves totally random in a funny way.

Wow. It’s great to see original web-games that at least try to do new things (being able to create a funny caricature of yourself using your own face is genius) and the Slim Jim brand works well for something like this. Everyone should try this game out, I ended up playing around with it for an hour!

Yep! I thought it was fun to play as you can see from the in-game screenshots I took. By the way, did you see the comment I made about Wil Overton on your blog? Check it out.

This is definately a very unusual and creative game. What will they think of next?! People will love to see their face in caricature, just for a laugh.
