Jump King, the hardcore platforming sensation, has finally landed on Android and iOS! Prepare for a progressively challenging tower climb, mastered with deceptively simple controls but demanding precision.

This lavishly pixelated fantasy world, despite its charming visuals, hides a surprisingly irreverent tone. As you play as the titular Jump King, your goal is to ascend a colossal tower, lured by the promise of a… "smoking hot babe" at the summit. Don't expect Shakespearean storytelling; Jump King prioritizes brutally difficult gameplay.

Expect a steep learning curve and deceptively simple controls: move left and right, then jump. Sounds easy? Think again. The treacherous levels will test even seasoned platforming veterans. Complex layouts and daring leaps of faith demand patience and unwavering perseverance—but the satisfaction of a successful jump is incredibly rewarding.

While our reviewer, Will Quick, noted some concerns about the mobile port's monetization, the core gameplay remains captivating. If you relish hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, appreciate crisp pixel art, and enjoy a visually stunning fantasy setting, Jump King is a must-try.

For a darker, equally challenging experience, consider Blasphemous. This 2D hack-and-slash trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired combat within a grim Metroidvania world, featuring challenging bosses and a thoroughly bleak atmosphere.
