Yesterday I wrote about The Jump – Escape the City and its amazing music, and about how addicting the game really is. Of course, I couldn’t stop playing and therefore I can now consider myself an expert of The Jump for Android and I want to share with you some of my knowledge. Therefore, I am here to share with you some The Jump cheats: tips and tricks to keep you running as far as possible. And I really hope that you find them useful!
1. Control your speed
It’s vital in The Jump: Escape the City to keep your car’s speed as high as possible. The faster you go, the better your score will be. Also, if you speed drops too much, you will be caught, so you must do your best to control your speed and keep it as high as possible. In order to do so, go through as many speed pads as possible. Try to always play with the top speed as it will help you get better at the game – if at first it seems too difficult, pretty soon it won’t and you will score the big points!
2. Collect power cells
The power cells should not be your main focus during the race. Focus on the road and only get the cells when you are 100% sure you can do it without losing the game.
3. Change multiple lanes
This one is pretty difficult, but extremely useful in the later stages: you can actually jump more than one lane if you tap + hold Left or Right side of the screen. This way you will avoid some unpleasant obstacles during the later stages.
4. Ignore the power-ups
Especially early on, when you’re not too skilled, try to ignore the power-ups as they are not worth the price. Also have in mind that any power-up that you purchase must be used during the race, or else it will be forever gone, together with the money you spent on it. I learned it the hard way!
Either way, the power-up are not that valuable. Probably the only one to care about is the Resurrection power-up, but only start getting it after you know what you’re doing and you really have a shot at completing the track.
5. How to score a lot
The Jump has a pretty interesting scoring system that doesn’t just award you for the distance traveled. The faster you are going, the more points you get and you also get points for near misses (so if you feel you have the skill, play chicken with the obstacles for more points!). Finally, you can get combos by collecting power cells in a row or going through speed pads and at the end, if you can make the jump, you will get a super-mega bonus.
And for now these are the tips and tricks that I have for you for The Jump: I really hope that you find them useful and that they will help you get the most from this great game!
