Exciting news for fans of challenging 2D platformers: Jump King has now soft-launched on Android devices. Originally launched on PC in 2019 by developer Nexile, this game is making its way to mobile phones thanks to publisher UKIYO. Since its initial release, Jump King has not only captured the hearts of players but also expanded its universe with multiple free expansions, which are also available on the mobile version.
Where Is Jump King Soft Launching?
Jump King is currently available for players in the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark. If you're in one of these regions, you can dive into the game for free right now on the Google Play Store. Don't worry if you're not in these areas; the game is set to expand to other regions soon, so keep an eye out for its global release.
The core of Jump King revolves around mastering the art of the jump. Your ultimate goal? To reach the top where the Smoking Hot Babe awaits. It's a straightforward yet challenging climb with no room for mid-air corrections or safety nets. The gameplay is simple: hold to charge your jump, release to leap, and aim to land exactly where you planned. But be warned—the higher you climb, the harder you can fall. A single misstep can send you plummeting back down, potentially erasing hours of progress in an instant. You start with 20 hearts, and each fall costs you one. Run out of hearts, and you'll need to either wait for the daily fortune wheel to grant you 5 to 100 free hearts or opt to purchase more. It's a true test of patience and precision, aptly named Jump King.
You Get Expansions in the Mobile Version Too
Once you conquer the base game, your journey doesn't end there. The mobile version of Jump King comes with two free expansions: New Babe+ and Ghost of the Babe. New Babe+ challenges you in a seemingly familiar yet different world, testing your mastery of the jump. Meanwhile, Ghost of the Babe takes you beyond Philosopher's Forest into a desolate landscape that makes you question the very purpose of your climb.
Jump King is a game of leaps, falls, curses, and retries. If you're in one of the soft-launch regions, head over to the Google Play Store and give it a try.
