Jump King brings classic platforming action and rage-inducing difficulty to mobile, out now in soft launch

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 Jump King, your goal is to ascend a massive tower, lured by the promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. Don't expect Shakespearean storytelling; Jump King is all about the brutally difficult challenge.

Expect a steep learning curve and deceptively simple controls: move left and right, then jump. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The intricate and treacherous levels will push even seasoned platforming veterans to their limits. Master complex layouts, take leaps of faith, and prepare for a serious test of patience. Perseverance, however, is handsomely rewarded with the satisfaction of each successful jump.

While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains undeniably compelling. If you're a fan of brutally difficult platformers like Super Meat Boy, appreciate crisp pixel art, and enjoy a visually stunning fantasy world, Jump King is worth a look.

For a darker, equally challenging experience, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash title trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring challenging bosses and a grim, atmospheric fantasy world.
