If you're a frequent visitor to our site (and who wouldn't be?), you might have caught Will Quick's latest review on the hardcore puzzling platformer, Jump King. If this captivating game caught your attention, you'll be thrilled to know it's now available in soft launch for both iOS and Android devices!
Jump King sticks to a classic premise: you play as the titular character, ascending a colossal tower with the goal of reaching a "smoking hot babe" at the top. While the narrative isn't exactly groundbreaking, Jump King isn't about storytelling; it's all about the challenge. And let me tell you, it's a tough one.
The game features a steep difficulty curve with deceptively simple controls. You can move left and right and jump—that's it. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The intricate and often perilous levels will challenge even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. With complex layouts and risky jumps, your patience will be tested, but perseverance pays off with each successful leap.
While Will did express some concerns about the mobile version's monetization, there's still a lot to love about Jump King. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, appreciate crisp pixel art, and enjoy a visually stunning fantasy world with a cheeky twist, Jump King might just be your next gaming obsession.
However, if you're in the mood for something a bit more serious and darker but equally challenging, consider checking out Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game swaps platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring tough bosses and a deeply immersive, grim fantasy world to explore.
