Gamers who relish a challenge and a good rage-quit, rejoice! Jump King, the notorious 2D platformer, has now made its leap to mobile devices, courtesy of Nexile and UKIYO Publishing. After a successful soft launch in the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark in March, the game is now available worldwide for both Android and iOS users. Originally launched on PC in 2019 and consoles in 2020, Jump King retains its brutal jumping mechanics, promising an intense experience on the go.
What’s Jump King on Mobile Like?
In Jump King, you embody a knight clad in armor, and your mission is straightforward: jump to reach the top and meet the elusive Smoking Hot Babe of Legend. Sounds easy, right? Wrong. Every jump must be meticulously calculated because one misstep sends you plummeting back to the start. The game autosaves after each jump, so there's no room for error. The controls have been finely tuned for mobile, requiring you to hold to charge your jump and release to soar. It's a test of precision, patience, and often, panic-induced poor decision-making.
What Else Should You Know?
Jump King on mobile operates on a heart-based system. You begin with 300 hearts, losing one each time you fall. To replenish your hearts, you can spin a daily fortune wheel for a chance to win between 10 and 150 hearts or watch ads, with a limit of 150 free hearts obtainable this way. The mobile version also comes packed with two full expansions: New Babe+, which introduces a second chapter with a bizarre and intense new path, and Ghost of the Babe, a chilling third act set in a hauntingly empty landscape beyond the Philosopher’s Forest.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you're ready to tackle, head over to the Google Play Store to download Jump King and start your ascent. And don't forget to check out our next feature on The Iconic Reality TV Experience Through Big Brother – The Game, which is now available.
