Jump King, the hardcore platforming sensation, has finally landed on Android and iOS! Prepare for a progressively challenging tower climb, mastered with deceptively simple controls but demanding precision.
This lavishly pixelated fantasy world, despite its charming visuals, hides a surprisingly irreverent tone. As you play as the titular Jump King, your goal is to ascend a massive tower with the enticing promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. While the narrative isn't exactly high literature, it sets the stage for the game's true focus: a brutally difficult, yet undeniably rewarding, challenge.
Jump King's gameplay is deceptively simple: move left and right, then jump. However, the intricate and often treacherous level design will test even the most seasoned platforming veterans. Expect complex layouts and leaps of faith that will push your patience to its limits, but the satisfaction of a perfectly executed jump is its own reward.
While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains undeniably captivating. Fans of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, drawn to crisp pixel art and visually appealing 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 for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring challenging bosses and a grim, atmospheric fantasy world to explore.
