Jump King: Classic Platforming Hits Mobile with Soft Launch

If you've been a regular visitor to our site (and who wouldn't be?), 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 learn that it's now available in soft launch on both iOS and Android devices!

Jump King follows a classic premise: you play as the titular Jump King, climbing an increasingly difficult tower with the ultimate goal of reaching a "smoking hot babe" at the top. While the narrative may not be high-brow literature, the game's true focus is its intense challenge. With a steep difficulty curve and straightforward yet demanding controls, you'll navigate through the tower by moving left and right and jumping. Sounds simple, but the intricate and often perilous levels will test even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. Your patience will be challenged, but the reward of mastering each jump is immensely satisfying.

**Might as well jump**

While Will Quick noted some concerns with the mobile version of Jump King, particularly its monetization strategy, there's still a lot to appreciate. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and you enjoy crisp pixel art and a visually appealing fantasy world, Jump King could be right up your alley.
