If you've been a regular visitor to our site (and who wouldn't be?), you might have caught Will Quick's recent review of the hardcore puzzling platformer, Jump King. If this game piqued your interest, you'll be thrilled to know that it's now available in soft launch for both iOS and Android devices!
Jump King follows a classic premise: you play as the titular character, ascending a towering structure with the enticing promise of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. While the narrative isn't aiming for literary greatness, the game's true focus lies in its challenging gameplay. With a steep difficulty curve, Jump King tests your skills with simple controls that mask complex and treacherous levels. Navigating the intricate layouts and taking leaps of faith will challenge even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. Patience and perseverance are key as you strive to master each jump.
While Will did note some concerns with the mobile version's monetization, Jump King still offers plenty to enjoy. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, appreciate crisp pixel art, and love exploring a visually appealing fantasy world, then Jump King is definitely worth a try.
For those seeking a more serious and darker challenge, consider diving into Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game swaps platforming for intense, Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat. With formidable bosses and a deeply immersive, grim fantasy world, Blasphemous offers a compelling alternative for those looking to test their mettle in a different way.
