Now where could my pipe be? GARFIELD!!!

Location of smoke apparatus. FELINE!!

where tube CAT

? !!!

If there were PR2 and JV merch, would you buy any? And if so, would you proudly wear it out in public? Here are some examples:





I used the website Custom Ink to make these using screenshots. Here's a link - https://www.customink.com/ndx/#/

Would love to see you guys post your own designs! The website automatically removes solid color backgrounds. For the wiggle font I wrote the text here on JV2 with that font and went to preview post and zoomed in to 400% and took a screenshot. For the default set I used the PR2 Style Designer - https://jiggmin2.com/games/platform-raci...-style.php and took a screenshot. For the Jiggmin logo and motto I screenshotted the logo here and screenshotted the motto from the original JV via Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/201001020350...ggmin.com/

I'm not expecting there to ever be actual merch available but it's fun think about! (would be super cool if it does happen though) Also, I know the EXP Hat design doesn't look that great but I think the idea is awesome, would be amazing if someone could do a better design

Jiggmin made a "platform-racing-4" repository on GitHub! (not a game, just a repository.)

Right now it doesn't have anything, and it's unknown if there will be more to come, especially in the meantime, but it's a nice thought to know.

Welcome to... Word of the Week! The game is simple. Guess the word depending on the week's topic, each player has 2 guesses (if said player fails to get the word on its initial 2 guesses, they will now have 1 guess per day to improve thread activity. This was suggested by @Master Raiden) and each message should be done like this :
"1. Guess #1
2. Guess #2"

The player who guesses the given word first wins the weekly WotW.

  "The lack of updates might be killing what little there is left of the pr2 community." - Community Feedback
