If you've been a regular visitor to our site (and we hope you have!), you may have caught Will Quick's latest review of the hardcore puzzling platformer, Jump King. If this game piqued your interest, you'll be thrilled to know it's now available in soft launch on both iOS and Android!
Jump King offers a classic premise: guide the titular character up an immense tower, driven by the allure of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. While the narrative isn't aiming for literary acclaim, the game excels in delivering an intense challenge. It's all about the climb, and trust us, it's a steep one.
The game features a steep difficulty curve, paired with deceptively simple controls—move left and right, then jump. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The intricate and often perilous levels will challenge even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. With complex layouts and daring leaps, your patience and perseverance will be put to the test, but the satisfaction of nailing that next jump is unparalleled.

If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and appreciate the charm of crisp pixel art within a visually captivating fantasy setting, Jump King might be your next obsession.
