Jump King
“Tactical Leaping Adventure – Jump King: There is a Smoking Hot Babe at the Top!” is a platforming challenge about struggling upwards in search of the legendary Smoking Hot Babe! You are alone on this adventure, and to reach the top you will need to master the technique of jumping. Just try to remember that with each fall there is a lesson to be learned…
Gameplay:
Prepare for true high-stakes platforming, where you have to use your mind to triumph! On your vertical adventure tension will rise with each jump, even though you cannot die! The reason is that a single missed jump could lead to a long fall, and once you have fallen you have to get back up again yourself…
The mechanics are simple: hold to charge the height of each jump and release to leap away! Despite its simplicity it will take much practice to master. You will have to consider each situation carefully before you jump, because once you are in the air there is no way to turn back!
Atmosphere:
Leap through an intriguing world and meet curious characters along your way. Hand-drawn backgrounds and distinct animations paint a rare picture, while the blend of retro sfx, beautiful arrangements and high definition ambiences give a peculiar atmosphere – thanks to composers/sound designers Nils Eklöf and Elias Thörnlund.
Do you have the guts to take that jump? The last hour led to this point, now everything is on the line! Will you get that Babe? Will you reach the Top? Do you think you have what it takes to defeat this game!?

Jump King Review
It’s the controls of Jump King that make it unique. You can’t simply run and jump as you would in any normal platformer. Jumps need to be charged and directed. Tap the jump button and your Jump King won’t go very high at all. Hold and release the jump button, and he’ll jump straight into the air. To make him jump to the left or right, you’ll need to hold the analogue stick in the chosen direction as you charge a jump.
As simple as its premise may be, these unique controls make precisely controlling the titular leaping monarch rather difficult. You need to charge a jump for just the right amount of time, be stood in the right position, and have your analogue stick angled in just the right direction. Even the slightest miscalculation and your hero will be plummeting back down.
There’s no fail state in Jump King – he won’t suffer fall damage; he’ll simply dust himself off and try again. Whether you can do the same, however, is a different story altogether. Getting stuck on the same single jump can be very frustrating and it will test your patience. But successfully making a leap leaves you with a great sense of accomplishment. Until you miss the next one and fall all the way back down, having to do the whole damn thing again.
Jump King is available on Steam now for £10.99/$12.99. It’s as steep as some of Jump King’s jumps themselves, but there’s no denying how addictive (and frustrating) its simple but clever gameplay can be.
