If you've been keeping up with our latest updates, you might have caught Will Quick's recent review of the hardcore puzzling platformer, Jump King. Exciting news for fans: Jump King is now available in soft launch on both Android and iOS devices!
The premise of Jump King is delightfully straightforward yet challenging. You take on the role of the titular Jump King, tasked with climbing an increasingly difficult tower in pursuit of a "smoking hot babe" at the top. While the narrative might not win any literary awards, the game more than compensates with its intense gameplay.
Jump King features a steep difficulty curve that will test even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. The controls are simple—you move left or right and jump. However, the levels are anything but simple, filled with complex layouts and risky jumps that demand precision and patience. Every successful leap brings a sense of achievement that keeps you pushing forward.
While Will Quick noted some concerns with the mobile version's monetization, Jump King still has a lot to offer. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and appreciate crisp pixel art and a visually engaging fantasy world, this game is definitely worth checking out.
For those seeking a more serious and darker challenge, consider exploring Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game offers a Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania experience, complete with tough bosses and an immersive, grim fantasy world that contrasts sharply with Jump King's more whimsical setting.
