Jumper Zero


Jumper Zero is another new Jumper fangame! This one is by forum-member Kilo and follows the adventure of Nomo, a failed experiment predating Ogmo who must, of course, escape from the lab.

It is very tastefully made and everything seems to stay very true to the spirit of the original game. The presentation is clean, simple and works well. The difficulty curve is also pleasantly gentle, easing you into the harder stages - a stark contrast to the original's "wall" as soon as you hit sector 2, but I think a change for the better. I'd recommend giving it a play!

In barely-related news, I've changed the download link for the much older fangame Jumper: Opposing Forces. It now resides in the fanstuff directory with the other fangames. You can now download it here.

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.

Jumper: Opposing Forces

Some people were wondering if I'm still hosting the Jumper fangame, Jumper: Opposing Forces. The answer is yes! I just haven't had the link published anywhere on my site since the redesign. You can download it here.

Jumper: Opposing Forces is by TheMordeus and The_Freik, and if you like the Jumper series it is definitely worth a try!
