The protagonist in Revenge of the Savage Planet is a goofy, bobble-headed lanky klutz who runs like a Looney Tune and isn't averse to chaotically slipping and sliding about the game's sprightly-coloured alien worlds on patches of alien slime. (There's good reason why developer Racoon Logic asked comic artist Duncan Fegredo to paint the game's poster art.)
