Jump King brings classic platforming action and rage-inducing difficulty to mobile, out now in soft launch

Jump King, the hardcore platformer that’s been making waves, is now available on Android and iOS! Prepare for a progressively challenging tower climb with deceptively simple controls but incredibly complex gameplay.

This lavishly pixelated fantasy world, despite its charming visuals, hides a surprisingly irreverent tone. As Jump King, you’ll ascend a massive tower, lured by the promise of a (let's just say) unique reward at the summit. Forget intricate narratives; Jump King is all about the brutal, rewarding challenge.

Expect a hardcore difficulty curve and deceptively simple controls. Left, right, and jump—easy, right? Think again. The treacherous levels will test even the most seasoned platformer veterans. Complex layouts and leaps of faith will push your patience to its limits, but the satisfaction of conquering each jump is immensely rewarding.

While our recent review highlighted some concerns about the mobile port's monetization, Jump King’s core gameplay remains undeniably captivating. Fans of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and those who appreciate crunchy pixel art and visually appealing fantasy worlds, will find much to love here.

For a different kind of challenge, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash title trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, offering challenging bosses and a grim, immersive fantasy world.
