"Jump King: Classic Platforming Hits Mobile with Soft Launch"

If you're a regular visitor to our site (and why wouldn't you be?), you may 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 learn that Jump King is now available in soft launch on both Android and iOS devices!

The premise of Jump King is as timeless as video games themselves. You take on the role of the titular Jump King, tasked with climbing a massive tower in pursuit 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 about the challenge—and what a challenge it is!

Jump King features a steep difficulty curve with simple yet demanding controls. You move left or right and then jump. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The game's intricate and often perilous levels will test even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. Navigating through complex layouts and taking leaps of faith will push your patience to the limit, but the thrill of mastering the next jump is immensely rewarding.

While Will Quick noted some concerns with the mobile version's monetization, there's still a lot to appreciate about Jump King. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, and you enjoy crisp pixel art within a visually stunning fantasy setting, Jump King is definitely worth checking out.

However, if you're in the mood for something more serious and darker yet equally challenging, consider exploring Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game trades platforming for Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring tough bosses and a deeply immersive, grim fantasy world.
