Jump King, the hardcore platforming sensation, has finally landed on Android and iOS! Prepare for a progressively challenging tower climb, deceptively simple controls masking incredibly complex gameplay.
Explore a richly pixelated fantasy world with a surprisingly irreverent tone. As the Jump King, your mission? Ascend a massive tower, lured by the promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. Don't expect Shakespearean storytelling; this is pure, unadulterated challenge.
Expect a brutal difficulty curve and deceptively simple controls. Left, right, and jump—easy, right? Think again. Treacherous levels will test even seasoned platforming veterans. Complex layouts and leaps of faith will push your patience, but the satisfaction of each successful jump is immensely rewarding.
While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns about the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains captivating. Fans of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, those who appreciate crisp pixel art, and players drawn to visually appealing fantasy worlds will find much to love in Jump King.
For a different kind of challenge, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash title trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring challenging bosses and a deeply grim fantasy setting.
