Jake - Home Town Hero
Jake and Hax0r's mechanical army of doom - Somewhat of an homage to the Edgar Rice Burrough's titles
Everything's Jake
Good suggestions, keep them coming ;)

I feel like there's a LOT of potential for puns here that we're just not exploring!

Jakin' the Hard Way!
Jake it Up
Jake It, Baby
Jakin' Names
Jake No Prisoners
Jake No Fake
HeartJake
This Jake is No Lie
etc.

Too bad it's not a dating sim, because Easy Jake Lovin' is RIGHT THERE.

Life in the Dorms -- comedic point-and-click adventure game out now for Xbox Live Indie Games!

...Actually, now I'm utterly convinced that Easy Jake Lovin' is a game that NEEDS to be made. Google says the name isn't even taken yet!

LOL.
We also thought about
- Jake Ace
- Jake Mate

We really like "Jake No Prisoners", it's definitely one of our finalists!

Jake Brake

  1. A two one(1) syllable word title is easy to remember!
  2. Brake, hints to the amount of precision braking required to avoid falling in Spiked Pits...game over!
  3. Brake, also rhymes with the word break, people play games on break (sometimes before). Its time for a Jake Brake!
  4. Jake Brake is a braking mechanism installed on some turbo diesel engines. Compliments Jake's (soon to be added) Super Turbo POWer Up!

Good Luck!

I like that! Might I add that Jake brakes work by cutting off cylinders in a diesel engine, resulting in probably the loudest and sexiest sound of an engine on the highway, so might that be a parable for cutting off the enemy in the game, level by level? :)

Thanks, this one is great!

I've added a poll and it's working kind of well on Facebook.

For my titles and character names I always take all of the words you can associate with that character/game/object/etc. and then try to mix those in a way that you can easily visualize the subject matter of a game, but the title won't be an actual word. The best example I have seen in this is the region names in Blizzard's World of Warcraft. For example, one of the regions is called Westfall, except Westfall is not an actual word. But what comes to mind is exactly what the region is like (Western landmass, "falls" straight into the ocean, and it is somewhat barren). Another one is from Fable 3 and that is Brightwall Village. In the game, the village does not have any "bright walls." Instead, the buildings are timberframe and when rendered, produce reflectivity. This can evoke an association with the name. My final example also comes from World of Warcraft and may be the best. One of the regions is called Desolace. That is obviously not a word, but it is so similar to "desolate" that you subconciously associate the two. "Desolate" is probably the best way to describe Desolace. Desolace is an empty desolate place with white sand/rock ground, and a white seashore with the occasional green moss. The sky is somewhat murky also. Try to add in Latin and French and German words (as long as they contribute to the environment of the game and evoke a good association with the game environment). I know this may not have referenced a platformer, but this is a good thing to know.

C dominates the world of linear procedural computing, which won't advance. The future lies in MASSIVE parallelism.

Jake Ghost
Industrial Robo
Mechanical TakeOver
Only Saviour
Jake; Last Hero
Mission Jake
So far thats all...
