Jumpman Forever - Midnight Ryder Technologies

[Eddie K]

This thread is for the discussion of Jumpman Forever Beta 1. (note to developer - send me a private message if you would like to edit this thread)

After 30 years, the classic C64 / Atari era game is back in this authorized sequel, Jumpman Forever!

Unlike modern platform games, Jumpman Forever doesn't hold back - expect to really work at beating the 14 levels contained in the beta!

This beta version shows the true retro styling of the game, the two playable characters - Jumpman & Red, and 14 levels of high energy platform puzzle action!

This game was way too glitchy for me, everything has to be too precise in my opinion.

I had trouble getting off the ladders. I would die from even the tiniest fall off the ladder.

I love jumpman (kickstarted it) and am looking forward to seeing it progress!

Is this still in beta, or have things improved?

Seems odd to charge $3.99 for a beta, with no free demo.

Despite that, words cannot describe how super-excited I was to see this on the Ouya store!

No it is not in beta anymore

I believe it was released a month or 2 ago

Fantastic news! Buying tonight then...

I went ahead and bought it...

I'm smiling from ear to ear right now.

Trust me when I say the gameplay style you remember and love is fully intact. I'm not sure how I feel about the graphics yet (I actually think they should have kept it even more minimal), but everything that matters is exactly the way it should be - even the classic sound effects!

For $3.99 with free quarterly level packs, you really can't go wrong! Plus, there's awesome in-app purchase bashing on one of the screens.

I agree! One of those rare gems that most may skip over at first but once you play it your a kid with your C64 again. More minimal was what I was thinking too lol. But you have to hand it to him, he did a great job. In-app purchase bashing lol

Erm game looks great and all...but the Jumpman is another name for Super Mario , its what he was called in Donkey Kong. I'd advise a name change before the lawers apear >_>

Jumpman was the name of the original game. This is an authorized sequel. See the video.
