Gamers who thrive on challenges and might be familiar with the thrill of a rage-quit now have a new reason to rejoice: Jump King, the notorious 2D platformer, has officially made its leap to mobile devices. Launched worldwide for Android and iOS by Nexile and UKIYO Publishing, this game follows a successful soft launch in the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark back in March. Initially released on PC in 2019 and consoles in 2020, Jump King brings its signature brutal jumping mechanics to your fingertips.
What’s Jump King on Mobile Like?
In Jump King, you embody an armored protagonist with a singular mission: to jump. Sounds simple, right? Far from it. Every jump demands precision and finesse; one misstep, and you're back to the start. The autosave feature after each jump adds a layer of tension, as you strive to ascend to the top where the legendary Smoking Hot Babe awaits. But beware, she's not one to offer shortcuts. A single mistimed leap means starting over from the bottom.
The mobile version adapts the controls with care, requiring you to hold to charge your jump and release to soar. It's a test of patience, precision, and often, panic-induced poor decisions.
What Else Should You Know?
Jump King Mobile operates on a heart-based system, starting you off with 300 hearts. Each fall costs you a heart, but you can replenish your supply by spinning a daily fortune wheel, potentially winning between 10 to 150 hearts, or by watching ads to earn up to 150 free hearts.
The mobile version also includes two complete expansions: New Babe+ introduces a second chapter with a bizarre and intense new path, while Ghost of the Babe plunges you into a third act set in the eerie, desolate landscape beyond Philosopher’s Forest.
If Jump King piques your interest, you can download it now from the Google Play Store and experience the challenge on your mobile device.
