Simply excellent

This is in my top 5 best Indie games. It is such a well designed and polished platformer. Jump! has beautiful 8-bit style visuals and gameplay similar to the Mario games.

You better save your lives and solve each level before the bombs explodes because once you're out of lives, your game is over. Its old-school baby!

Definitely worth 240 msp.

Indie Game Perfection

Jump! is a simple platformer with short sharp level design, great sense of humor and a "just one more go" factor that is to die for. At 240msp it faces a tough sell against some remarkable 80msp titles, but Jump! performs excellently.

The games story is as unique as it is dispensible. A giant iron crab is dropping bombs, go sort him out. Thats it.

Prepare yoursleves for a barrage of retro references that you may not be able to keep up with...

Jump! is the love child of BombJack, Mario and Manic Miner and successfully updates these titles for 360.

You must collect bombs from each of the 30 levels before their fuses expire. Failure to do so means you loose a life, touch any of the enemies, loose a life, touch the spikes, loose a life. It may seem like the game wants to kill you, and there are some sticky moments but Jump! is a game that wants to be enjoyed first and foremost.

Throughout the game there are florishes of humor, but it is never forced upon you or really feels like it is TRYING to be funny. All the levels are named, and feature gaming references galore "Snake, Snaaaaaaaake" being a personal favourite. Also the handy message on the pause screen (Try it to see what i mean) is genious.

Graphically, Jump! is very strong. The graphics are 8bit in style but very modern is presentation in the same way that Pac Man:CE was updated. It looks like it is retro, but no retro machine could play it.

All this makes for one of the best platformers on Indie Games, and gets my highest reccomendation.

I tried the demo...if you can make yourself ignore the repeating music, this is actually a pretty fun game. 8-bit like graphics for the characters and other surrounding interactive objects...the backgrounds for the levels are almost a painted scene. Nice contrast! The gameplay is fun for a 2-D scroller! Controls are super easy. Great kids game!!!

I love it!

Retro forever!
The first levels are pretty easy, but it turns out to be a pretty hard core platformer after all!

An excellent platform adventure

Clearly one of the more polished, executed and well thought-out games on Indie games to come out in some time. Lots of fun in a Mario kind of way, well worth checking out.
Very fun and interesting 3d / 2d graphics too!

Great!

Really sweet 8-bit graphics and solid mechanics. Well worth playing. Just be sure to save as many hearts as you can because once you die and have 0 lives you have to restart at the beginning.
