Jump King: Classic Platforming Hits Mobile with Soft Launch

By LaylaApr 17,2025

If you're a regular visitor to our site (and who wouldn't be?), you might have caught Will Quick's latest review of the hardcore puzzling platformer, Jump King. If this game piqued your interest, you'll be thrilled to know that it's now available in soft launch for both iOS and Android!

Jump King follows a classic premise: you play as the titular character, ascending a towering structure with the allure of a "smoking hot babe" at the summit. While the narrative might not win any literary awards, Jump King isn't about storytelling; it's all about the challenge. And what a challenge it is!

The game boasts a steep difficulty curve with deceptively simple controls. You move left and right, then jump. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The intricate and often perilous levels will test even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. With complex layouts and daring leaps, your patience will be pushed to its limits, but the satisfaction of nailing that next jump is unparalleled.

Jump King GameplayWhile Will had some reservations about the mobile version of Jump King, particularly its monetization strategy, there's still a lot to appreciate. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and you enjoy crisp pixel art and a visually stunning fantasy world, Jump King could be right up your alley.

For those seeking a more somber and challenging experience, consider checking out Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game swaps platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring tough bosses and a deeply atmospheric, grim fantasy world to explore.
