Jump King, the hardcore platformer that’s been making waves, is now available on Android and iOS! Prepare for a progressively challenging tower climb with deceptively simple controls but incredibly complex gameplay.
This lavishly pixelated fantasy world, despite its charming visuals, hides a surprisingly irreverent tone. As the Jump King, your mission is to ascend a massive tower—with the promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. While the story isn't exactly high literature, the challenge is undeniably captivating.
Expect a brutally difficult learning curve and deceptively simple controls. Moving left and right is straightforward, but the precision required for each jump will test even the most seasoned platformer veterans. Complex level layouts and daring leaps will push your patience to its limits, but the satisfaction of landing each jump is incredibly rewarding.
While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port’s monetization, the core gameplay remains undeniably compelling. Fans of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, who appreciate crisp pixel art and visually striking fantasy worlds, will find much to love in Jump King.
For those seeking a darker, more serious, yet equally challenging experience, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash title forgoes platforming in favor of Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring challenging bosses and a grim, immersive fantasy world.
