Jupiter Jump app review: a really nice arcade game that will make you come back for more

Reviews

Introduction

Sometimes the expectations you have from a game do not at all come close to the experience you get. This can be a huge let-down in some cases, while in other cases this actually can be a really big surprise. When I downloaded today's app my expectations were hugely low. The app didn’t have much appeal for me initially, but when I started playing Jupiter Jump I actually instantly became addicted to the game. This game by Noodlecake Studios Inc. is not only well-designed and compatible with both iPhone and iPad, it also offers hours of gameplay and is reminiscent of one of the best arcade apps on the App Store. The app weighs in at just under 20 MB.

Gameplay

Jupiter Jump is a game that is very similar to Jetpac Joyride, though the gameplay works a tad bit differently. The main character of this game automatically jumps around where you only control when he comes down. This might sound confusing but it works like a charm. What you need to do in the game is to get your character through portals while avoiding all kinds of obstacles like mines. You will need to exactly time your drops, as when the character hits the ground he will go up straight away again! When you hit a mine, it is game over and you will have to start again.

Graphics and Sound

The graphics of the game are nothing like Jetpac Joyride. As this game really embraces the retro feel the game has. The game looks like an 8-bit game from the late eighties and plays and feels like it should have been released on the NES instead of on iPhone and iPad. The sound also breathes this era of gaming as the midi soundtrack of the game is beautiful in its simplicity. The game really comes together well in both graphics and sound, and both of these aspects fit in with the gameplay perfectly.

Conclusion

I love to be surprised about apps. Nothing brightens my day more than an app that really comes out of nowhere and suddenly I am playing for at least one hour. This is not really good for my productivity, but really does make my day. The gameplay of Jupiter Jump is original and really addictive. The game is perfect for a short commute or just a quick play while you’re waiting for something. The simple graphics and soundtrack fit perfectly with the simple gameplay. The app is compatible with both iPad and iPhone and is just under 20 MB.
