Story

The object of the game is to evade police in order to make it to a blues concert. Player(s) can take control of either Jake or Elwood Blues. Each level is a variation on the jumping theme, with the characters finding a necessary attribute (e.g. a guitar) somewhere in the level. The sixth and final level ends on-stage.
