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

Jump King's premise is timeless in the world of video games. You play as the titular Jump King, tasked with climbing an immense tower in pursuit of a "smoking hot babe" at the top. While the narrative might not win any literary awards, Jump King isn't about storytelling; it's all about the challenge, and it delivers that in spades.

The game boasts a steep difficulty curve and deceptively simple controls. You can move left, right, and jump—sounds easy, right? Think again. The increasingly complex and perilous levels will test even the most seasoned platformer enthusiasts. With intricate layouts and daring leaps of faith, your patience will be pushed to its limits, but the thrill of nailing that next jump is immensely rewarding.

**Might as well jump**

While Will Quick did express some reservations about the mobile version of Jump King, particularly its monetization strategy, there's still a lot to appreciate. If you're a fan of hardcore platformers like Super Meat Boy, love the charm of pixel art, and appreciate a visually appealing fantasy world, Jump King could be right up your alley.

For those seeking a more somber and equally challenging experience, consider checking out Blasphemous. This 2D hack 'n slash game forgoes platforming in favor of Dark Souls-inspired Metroidvania combat, featuring formidable bosses and a deeply atmospheric, grim fantasy setting to explore.
