About Jump Monster
Jump Monster is a jumping game with two buttons and no fuss. You steer your little monster left and right with the arrow keys, or by touching the screen on a phone, and that is the whole control scheme.
Accumulating points is the goal, and they are worth more than a number on the screen. You can spend them on new characters, and each character comes with its own special ability. That changes the feel of a run more than you might expect, and it gives you a reason to keep playing after you have set a score you are happy with.
It is a game anyone can pick up in a few seconds; it bills itself as easy and fun to play. On a computer you use the left and right arrow keys. On a phone or tablet you touch the screen, and the game plays in landscape view.
How to play Jump Monster
- Press the left and right arrow keys to move the monster, or touch the screen on a phone.
- Steer each jump left or right with care.
- Accumulate as many points as you can.
- Spend your points on new characters.
- Try out each character's special ability.
Tips and tricks
- Make small corrections. Holding a direction for too long can carry the monster further than you wanted.
- Look at where you are going to land next, not at the monster.
- Give each character you unlock a few runs. Every one has its own special ability, and finding the one that suits you is worth the effort.
- Do not let points sit unused for too long. Spending them on a new character is the main reward the game offers.
