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

Jump King, the notoriously difficult platformer, has landed on Android and iOS! Prepare for a challenging climb up a towering structure with deceptively simple controls.

This pixel-art fantasy world, despite its whimsical appearance, offers a brutally hard experience. Your goal? Reach the top, where a rather cheeky reward awaits. Forget intricate narratives; Jump King prioritizes intense gameplay.

The core mechanics are straightforward: move and jump. However, the treacherous level design will push even seasoned platforming veterans to their limits. Each jump is a test of precision and patience, rewarding perseverance with the satisfaction of conquering each perilous leap.

While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains captivating. Fans of brutally challenging platformers like Super Meat Boy, and those who appreciate crisp pixel art and a surprisingly engaging fantasy setting, will find much to enjoy.

For a different kind of challenge, consider Blasphemous. This 2D action game trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired combat within a grim and atmospheric Metroidvania world. Prepare for difficult boss battles and a relentlessly dark fantasy setting.
