Jumper Jape

I used to LOVE "Jumper 2" and "Jumper Redux" (and all the other hardcore platformers of a decade or so ago). It's been years since I saw one that catches the essence of those ones so perfectly as Jumper Jape. And nice story as well...

The type of game that fulfills the wish for more in a specific style. Doesn't do anything over the original Jumper games, and actually takes a few steps back. No wall jump like in 2, edgier but slightly drabber story, level design slightly worse, uglier art style, and it's just kind of like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ short romp (as reviewers like to say). All to say: it's a 6/10 spiritual successor to a 7/10 original.

This one definitely has legitimate challenge, but it still needs work. Some of the hit detection on the spikes feels off by a hair and the expected precision seems a bit much. There's also the issue with some of the stages being a little too long for the difficulty they present, especially the final stage. One final note, this game can be beaten in under 2 hours.

Good gameplay. Fun for people who like to avoid obstacles when we have precision platformers to play.

10/10 would jump out of cliff in frustration again.

Very nice game.
