Exciting news for mobile gamers: Jump King, the beloved 2D platformer initially launched on PC in 2019 by Nexile, has now soft-launched on Android, thanks to publisher UKIYO. This thrilling game is now accessible in select regions including the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark. Players in these areas can enjoy the game for free, with a global rollout expected soon.
Jump King is all about mastering the art of the jump. The ultimate goal? To reach the Smoking Hot Babe at the top of the tower. It's a simple premise that's deceptively challenging. With no mid-air corrections or safety nets, every jump requires precise timing and skill. You charge your jump by holding down and release to leap, aiming to land exactly where you intend. But beware: the higher you climb, the harder you fall. A single misstep can send you tumbling down, potentially erasing hours of progress in mere seconds. You begin with 20 hearts, losing one each time you fall. Run out of hearts, and you'll need to either wait for the daily fortune wheel to grant you 5 to 100 free hearts or opt to purchase more. It's a true test of patience and precision.
Expansions Included in the Mobile Version
Once you conquer the base game, the fun doesn't stop there. The mobile version comes packed with two free expansions: New Babe+ and Ghost of the Babe. New Babe+ challenges players in a world that feels familiar yet entirely new, pushing your mastery of the jump to new heights. Meanwhile, Ghost of the Babe transports you beyond the Philosopher’s Forest into a desolate landscape, prompting existential questions about the purpose of your climb.
Jump King is an experience of leaping, falling, cursing, and trying again. If you're located in one of the soft-launch regions, head over to the Google Play Store and give it a try. The game's unique blend of frustration and satisfaction awaits you.
