Hyper Jump
As the power of Android phone and devices continue to increase a lot of games are attempting to compete with what is available on handhelds and even consoles. Hyper Jump on the other hand keeps things very simple. All you have to do is bounce your colorful critter to new heights while collecting coins along the way.
You only tap one button to launch your character and from there it is tilt controls all the way. Guide your character into coins to collect them and provide a small boost. Power-ups enable you to bounce higher, shoot up at rocket speeds or attract all the coins near you but beware of the randomizer which can leave your character with an anchor tied to its feet. Each coin only provides one boost to your momentum so if you miss a few and drop back down to the bottom of the screen its game over. Your final score is determined by the height you managed to reach and the amount of coins collected along the way. Replay value is boosted by the numerous achievements as well as the online leaderboards. While the gameplay is very simple, the visuals are thankfully colorful and detailed. Character designs are quite humorous and the game appears very polished. A free "resources" pack for the paid version enables you to download a few extra characters as well as a new background to play on. The audio is pretty good as well with the clinking of coins as you collect them and the screams of your character as it is propelled higher. Tilting the device left and right to influence the direction of the character felt very responsive and the wrap-around screen makes it easier to collect those coins. You'll encounter smaller coins as well as moving ones the higher you go so there is definitely a challenge involved. For an extra challenge you can play the "Classic" mode which disables all power-ups. Due to the simple nature of the game, Hyper Jump can become somewhat repetitive after extended play. It is however, perfect for launching occasionally in order to beat your personal record or take on the leaderboards. From the looks of it, there are some new content incoming for the game so if you enjoy it support the developers. I know that there are other games available on Android that uses the same gameplay mechanics as Hyper Jump but I still think that it is one of the more polished offerings. |
