What Jump King is
Jump King is an adventure game developed by Nexile and released in 2019. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on MonoGame.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The game is built on a single iconic mechanic: charge the height of each jump by holding down the button and release to leap away! But beware - once you are in the air there is no way to turn back! Though you cannot die, your progress is fragile - a single missed jump could lead to your fall and much progress lost... Leap through an intriguing world, meeting curious characters along the way. The hand-drawn backgrounds and distinct animations paint a rare picture, reminiscent of the old classics! The blend of retro sfx, beautiful arrangements and high definition ambiences give a peculiar atmosphere - thanks to composers/sound designers Nils Eklöf and Elias Thörnlund. This game is a trial…
