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, mastered with deceptively simple controls yet demanding expert precision.

This lavishly pixelated fantasy world boasts an irreverent, humorous tone. As the Jump King, you'll ascend a colossal 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 satisfying gameplay.

Simple controls—move left, right, and jump—mask the intricate, often treacherous levels. Even seasoned platforming veterans will find themselves tested by the complex layouts and perilous leaps of faith. Patience is key, but the reward of conquering each jump is immensely satisfying.

While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns regarding the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains captivating. Fans of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, drawn to crisp pixel art and surprisingly beautiful fantasy visuals, will find much to appreciate in Jump King.

Seeking a darker, equally challenging experience? Consider Blasphemous, a 2D hack 'n' slash that trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat. Prepare for challenging bosses and a grim, immersive fantasy world.
