Game Description
Jumpbound is a first-person platformer where every jump is crucial on your way to the top of a mysterious alien world. Exploring the remains of an ancient civilization is accompanied by relaxing sound design and breathtaking views, and the atmosphere changes as you progress. The project offers flexible difficulty settings, allowing you to either leisurely explore the environment using checkpoints, or take on the challenge without them for the sake of glory. For the most attentive explorers, there are over 24 collectibles and secret shortcuts.
Having failed in the expedition, the protagonist finds himself trapped on an abandoned planet. The only hope for salvation is a mysterious beam pulsating at the very top. To escape your imprisonment, Jumpbound requires you to make a long vertical climb through the ruins. Any mistake can lead to a fall, returning the hero to the mysterious Lighthouse that keeps him on the planet. It is necessary to repeat attempts over and over again in order to ultimately break this cycle and achieve freedom.
The gameplay is based on mastering responsive controls and accurately calculating movements in the air. The journey begins with one jump, but with each stage passed, the arsenal of acrobatic abilities is replenished with new jerks and additional jumps in the air. Gradually, simple movements are replaced by complex sequences of maneuvers that require composure and skill from the gamer. Overcoming increasingly crazier obstacles and leaps of faith becomes a test of endurance and the ability to adapt to ever-increasing demands.
