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 and fiendishly complex levels.

This pixel-art fantasy world, while visually appealing, hides a brutally hard gameplay loop. The objective? Reach the top of the tower (and that "smoking hot babe," as the game puts it). Forget intricate storytelling; this is pure, unadulterated challenge.

The controls are basic: left, right, and jump. However, the treacherous levels will test even seasoned platforming veterans. Expect demanding jumps, precarious ledges, and a serious test of patience. But the satisfaction of a successful leap is undeniably rewarding.

While our mobile review highlighted some monetization concerns, the core gameplay remains compelling. Fans of brutally difficult platformers like Super Meat Boy, and those who appreciate crisp pixel art and a surprisingly charming fantasy setting, will find much to enjoy.

Seeking a different kind of challenge? Consider Blasphemous, a 2D Metroidvania with Dark Souls-inspired combat. It trades platforming for challenging boss battles and a grim, immersive fantasy world.
