Do you enjoy puzzle games? Do you want to try a different kind of logic game with great graphics and one of a kind gameplay? Then you are definitely in the right place. Jump is a title that will provide you with a fun puzzle experience as you drive your way through a large world trying to grab all the keys in order to reveal the exit. Even if it’s not mandatory, you can collect numerous stars that appear in each level. If you manage to collect all the stars available in each level included in that pack, you will reveal a bonus, hardcore level that will prove to be even harder to beat. By collecting the stars you will be able to receive numerous achievements. In Jump your character will be a white ball that’s very easy to control. However, there will be lots of hazards on each map which will make the gameplay very challenging. From spikes to fire and so on, these hazards need to be avoided at all costs, otherwise you will have to restart the level from the beginning. ◉ Trendy and awesome flat design with tons of different features; ◉ High quality sounds each time you perform an action; ◉ 5 packages of 10 levels each, which adds up to 60 different exciting worlds you can explore. This is a game that was specifically designed to encourage the idea of thinking outside the box while trying to solve the puzzle. The challenge relies in the apparent simplicity of the game. However, the game brings an impressive and cleverly designed set of levels that will definitely keep you playing for hours and hours.
