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 and incredibly complex levels.
This lavishly pixelated fantasy world hides a surprisingly irreverent sense of humor. As Jump King, you'll ascend a massive tower, lured by the promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. Don't expect a Shakespearean narrative; Jump King prioritizes brutal difficulty and rewarding gameplay.
The controls are straightforward: move left and right, then jump. However, the intricate level design and treacherous leaps will push even seasoned platforming veterans to their limits. Expect a steep learning curve, but the satisfaction of conquering each jump is immensely rewarding.
While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains captivating. Fans of challenging platformers like Super Meat Boy, and those who appreciate crisp pixel art and visually stunning fantasy environments, will find much to love in Jump King.
For a darker, equally challenging experience, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash game trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring challenging bosses and a grim, atmospheric fantasy world.
