The mobile games are experiencing a golden moment. And it is not only a stage in which the most striking and fun titles manage to go viral, but also represent an emerging market and profitable for developers and companies. So much so that Nintendo itself wants to leave behind its immobilist policy and bet on smartphones This success is fueled by the variety of genres and titles, now joined by Mr Jump, which sets aside current trends to return toold school platforms.
This is a skill game where the player controls Mr Jump or Mister S alto A curious character who has no other mission than to jump and avoid death for as long as possible. Thus, although it fits within the genre of endless runners, Mr Jump bets on the classic mechanics that so many players managed to conquer by posing a challenge of skill, patience and a lot of memory
In this way, in Mr Jump all you have to do is go through a stage full of platforms built by colored blocks over which you have to jump and run Always avoiding cliffs and spikes, something that forces the player to measure the lengths well and calculate the jumps to the millimeter And it is that each time the difficulty increases, with more complex sectionsand frantic where there is barely time to think.All this while the character does not stop running advancing through the level.
Just press click on the screen to make jumps However, depending on the time you press the intensity of the jump is different, thus helping to estimate approximately the length according to the space that must be covered. So far nothing differentiates Mr Jump from any other skill game of the moment. However, its most notable key is that the scenarios are not reproduced randomly Thus, betting on the mapped classics, the paths are always the same, forcing the user to memorize the routes, keystrokes and calculations to get further and further forward.
This is quite a noticeable change in the gameplay and experience it conveys.In this way, despite having a somewhat high difficulty in terms of its design, it is always less frustrating than other endless runners where it is useless to memorize the route , since this is changeable. With this the user can always go a little further if he is focused enough and remembers when and how to press to perform the correct jumps at all times.

With this the game does not become repetitive, because the concentration makes the player aware of each jump. In addition, there are certain rewards for getting further in matches. It's about unlocking new levels, being able to enjoy up to 5 variations that go beyond platforms, with different artistic environments. In addition, its creators have announced the intention to increase this number
In short, a title that classic players of demanding platforms will like. All this with additions such as rhombuses to perform double jumps, or powers to play in the style of Flappy Bird. But the best thing is that Mr Jump is completely free, being able to enjoy its levels if the player makes an effort. Of course, there are also in-app purchases to unlock them instantly. At the moment Mr Jump is only available for the platform iOS It can be downloaded from App Store
