Jumper Plus


Jumper Plus is a Jumper tribute game by MMG forum-member retrogamer. The game is based on the original Jumper game, but features all brand-new level designs.

I feel like the game is a bit more punishing than Jumper - certain gameplay elements such as falling blocks and "shooters" are much less forgiving - but I'm pretty sure this was intentional. Personally, I can only manage to make it partway through sector 4! If you're looking for a super-hard old-school Jumper challenge, look no further.

I just finished it, it's pretty great. (SOME SPOILERS HERE) But I got a bit of motion sickness on 5-4 :( I tried it so many times... Eventually I was able to get to 5-5 with still 2 minutes remaining. I died 538 times and finished with exactly (60:00 of gameplay, maybe that's broken?). Anyway, I loved it... ... I don't know why I keep playing these kind of games..

Oh, and Sata, if you play for over an hour, it always says 60:00. The reason for that was originally there was a global score system that was calculated at the end, something like 5,000-time (in seconds)-3*deaths, and I limited the time not to hurt peoples scores too much if they played for hours because they had trouble. I removed the score system due to time, constraints, however, but I didn't remove the time limit.

If you really want your time, then it will be in the save file, just open it with notepad. I don't have the source with me right now, so I don't know what line. The time is measured in seconds in the save file, so you will have to convert it into hours:minutes:seconds format yourself.

Just be sure not to edit the save file, as I pulled a YMM and put a checksum at the end, so it will give you an error if you edit the save file outside the game.

OK, assuming the line with the biggest number was my time, then it was 5027 seconds big, which is 83:47. I guess I took too long? And I consider myself good at Jumpers! Maybe for a first run it was an OK time!
