A platform game in which we play the role of a knight trying to get to the top of the high tower. In Jump King we jump on the platforms and constantly climb up, and a possible fall ends with the need to repeat smaller or larger parts of the climb.
Jump King is a simple but extremely difficult platform game, which puts both our dexterity and skills and patience to the test. The production was developed by independent studio Nexile.
Jump King takes us on a journey to a fantasy world, dominated by a giant tower. During the game we play the role of a knight trying to get to the very top of this construction, where a legendary beauty awaits him. Unfortunately, the road to the goal is long and bumpy, and in order to achieve success, our hero must become the Jumping King.
In the game Jump King, we observe the action from the side. During the game, we jump from platform to platform, constantly climbing up. Apart from regular jumps, hero is also able to perform "charged" jumps, with which he covers longer distances. As the platforms are separated by different distances, each jump has to be measured accordingly... ...or count on luck. If we fail, the main character will fall. And this one can be painful, even though the hero can't die. The state of the game is saved automatically, which means that a flight into the abyss can destroy our efforts of the last few hours, or even force us to repeat the strenuous climbing from the very beginning.
It is worth remembering that there is often more than one road leading upwards, and this most obvious path is not always the easier one. Besides, the knight meets various characters in the tower; interaction with them allows us not only to get to know their adventures, but also to deepen our knowledge about the presented world.
Jump King has simple, but colorful and clear graphics made in the pixel art technique. The retro style is complemented by an 8-bit sound layer.

TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Miguel Moran
Jump King is an excellent experience in soul-crushing difficulty and nightmarishly precise platforming. It's the type of game that won't be for many people, but for the small percent that craves this kind of experience, they won't be disappointed. The somewhat imprecise nature of your jumping often frustrated me and diluted the pure player skill needed to clear the game, but it still ends up being a solid test of your patience and platforming skills.

Gamers who like a cruel, twisted challenge to keep them awake at night whispering just one more jump over and over again will find a decent game and one almighty almost insurmountable challenge here.

OK, so here we get down to the bare bones basics...
