Jimothy Arcade Game Walkthrough: Clear All Four Missions

A source-labeled route through Trash Night, Easy Street, Paparazzi, and The Big Climb in Chris Pirillo’s free Jimothy browser game.

Start with Trash Night
Abstract route cards representing the four Jimothy arcade missions

The shortest honest route is: clear Trash Night, Get Across Easy Street, and Paparazzi in any order, then finish the newly unlocked Big Climb.

The complete route

Official: the first three missions are selectable immediately. The Big Climb stays locked until all three are cleared, and finishing all four unlocks the ending.

  • Trash Night: rummage open bins before the garbage truck arrives; hop over the two dogs.
  • Get Across Easy Street: cross five randomized blocks and survive the five-lane road section.
  • Paparazzi: reach the hedge; standing perfectly still makes Jimothy nearly disappear.
  • The Big Climb: climb ledges and trellises to the den while watching for crumbling ledges and a crow.

Controls that work now

Official: arrows move. Z or Space is A for rummaging and menu confirmation; X or Shift is B for hopping. Enter starts or pauses, and Tab, Backspace, or Escape returns from a screen.

Touch devices display a virtual pad, and a paired gamepad is accepted after a button press.

    Difficulty and retries

    Official: each mission currently gives five lives. Basic and Advanced keep separate high-score tables; Advanced changes timing, speed, detection, and ledge tolerance.

    Community conflict: one third-party listing still says three lives. The live creator manual says five, so five is the value used here.

      What to do when stuck

      Retry the individual mission instead of restarting the whole route. The game lets you pick among the first three, so clear the mission whose movement pattern you understand best and return to the difficult one later.

      Unknown: the creator does not publish frame data or exact scoring formulas. This walkthrough therefore avoids invented timing windows and score thresholds.
