I fall in love with Mr Jump recently and it has almost filled all my part time after making the free mobile game download. The only goal is to jump a great deal or you will die. For first level I tried for about 100 times then finally beat that level. It’s probably one of my singular most impressive gaming feats—it’s right up there with beating some of the old Mega Man games and unlocking 007 mode in Goldeneye. That is the kind of brutal difficulty you have in store for you with Mr. Jump. Here we want to share some reasons why this intense game is worth a play or two… or ten… or more!
The difficulty level is ludicrous: iOS has seen its fair share of super hard games in mobile game marketing, usually of the “endless platformer” variety—think Flappy Bird and Robot Unicorn Attack. But what separates Mr. Jump from the pack is that it’s not an endless platformer—victory is possible, just very unlikely. Each of the twelve levels (don’t worry, more levels are on their way) features pits, pixel-wide platforms to land on, and other obstacles, and each level introduces a new game mechanic or obstacle to watch out for, too.
While levels will take you less than a minute to run through—without a save checkpoint system—you’ll likely find yourself trying to make the same jump hours later. Maybe I’ve lost a step or two in my old age, but some of these levels took me near an hour to beat. So in terms of difficulty, the best comparisons actually are PC titles Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be the Guy. That’s exalted company.
It invokes an old-school feel: My responses to playing Mr. Jump actually remind me of how I felt while playing older Nintendo titles—I feel tense and scared, hopping from platform to platform, hoping my little sprite doesn’t take one more speck of damage. But this feeling do not came out when I play other mobile strategy games. When I finally make it past a spot where I always die in Mr. Jump—it’s like watching a no-no in baseball or waiting to hear a courtroom verdict—I hold my breath.
The player’s investment in Mr. Jump’s world is an accomplishment, too, because the game is not particularly pretty. Your titular Mr. Jump is just a series of pixels, and the worlds around you only vaguely resemble forests, lava pits, etc. The soundtrack is also a toned-down (but catchy) set of chiptune beats.
It is minimalist by choice: But this minimalism plays to the game’s advantage. Your only goal is to get to the end of the level. Mr. Jump moves for you, and all you have control over is when and how high he jumps—determined by how firmly you tap on your iPhone’s screen.
