Exciting news for fans of challenging 2D platformers: Jump King, originally launched on PC in 2019 by developer Nexile, has now soft-launched on Android, courtesy of UKIYO. This free-to-play game is currently available in select regions including the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark, with a global rollout expected soon.
Where Is Jump King Soft Launching?
Jump King's soft launch is currently taking place in the UK, Canada, the Philippines, and Denmark. Players in these regions can enjoy the game for free on their Android devices. If you're not in one of these areas, don't worry—the game is set to expand to other regions in the near future.
The core of Jump King is mastering the art of jumping. Your goal is to reach the top, where a "Smoking Hot Babe" awaits. It’s a straightforward yet incredibly challenging premise: hold to charge your jump, release to leap, and aim to land precisely where you intended. There’s no room for mid-air corrections or safety nets, making every jump a high-stakes decision.
The game's difficulty ramps up as you ascend; the higher you climb, the more devastating the fall. A single misstep can send you tumbling back down, potentially erasing hours of progress in mere seconds. You start with 20 hearts, and each fall costs you one. If you run out of hearts, you'll need to wait for the daily fortune wheel to grant you between 5 to 100 free hearts or opt to purchase more. It's a tactical leaping adventure that truly lives up to its name.
You Get Expansions in the Mobile Version Too
Once you've conquered the base game, the excitement continues with two free expansions included in the mobile version: New Babe+ and Ghost of the Babe. New Babe+ presents a familiar yet distinct world, challenging you to prove your mastery of the jump. Meanwhile, Ghost of the Babe takes you beyond Philosopher’s Forest into a desolate landscape, prompting you to question the very purpose of your climb.
Jump King is an experience defined by leaping, falling, cursing, and trying again. If you're in one of the soft-launch regions, you can download and start playing the game from the Google Play Store right away. Get ready for a thrilling test of your patience and precision.
