Play James Pond II - Codename Robocod (USA, Europe) Online

Game Overview

James Pond 2: Codename Robocod is one of those weirdly charming Genesis platformers where you play as a stretchy, fish-shaped secret agent trying to save Santa. Yeah, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds—but in a good way.

At first, the controls feel a little floaty, but once you get used to Pond’s stretchy jumps and mid-air butt slams (press down while airborne to crush enemies), it’s surprisingly satisfying. The health system takes a second to figure out—one hand shows lives, the other has health bars—but after a few clumsy deaths, it clicks.

Some levels are brutal if you rush in, especially when enemies gang up on you, but the cartoony vibe keeps it from feeling too punishing. And honestly, bouncing around candy-themed stages or sneaking past toy factory hazards never gets old. It’s not just a Christmas game, despite the Santa plot—just a solid, silly platformer with a weird hero.
