About this game

What are jerboas? Why, they're desert rodents that can REALLY jump!

Trapped in a cage for much of your life, it's time to bust out and face adversity in Jump Jerboa, an unforgiving, minimalist one-button micro platformer! You will fail over and over, but in the end the freedom will be well worth the pain... right?

Jump Jerboa is packed with challenging micro-levels. Play as a jerboa who must escape a facility filled with countless death traps.

Jump Jerboa features:
• One touch controls. Great for gaming on the go!
• Minimalist presentation and gameplay!
• Tough as nails, handcrafted levels!
• 90 levels and more to come!
• Several obstacle types including portals and jump pads!
• Fancy chip-tune music!
• Retro-induced pixel art!

Jump Jerboa is a labour of love from a mostly solo game developer.

Ratings and reviews

Great little platformer! good simple gameplay and good music. This dev has a lot of talent for making stylish, tactile little games like this. The only thing I might change (as a layman) is hitbox sizes for some enemies/obstacles don't match the sprite sizes (at least on my device), which causes some perceived inconsistency / added difficulty. Can't wait to see what's next :D

It's really a great platformer! It's simple to play, yet it contains just enough difficulty to make it the perfect challenge! Ads are kept to a minimal, which I really enjoy. You don't have to worry about crazy ads like are on Tomb of the Mask, and an ad will not cut you off in the middle of a level. No matter how many times you die, the ads will not appear (if they appear at all) until after you complete the level. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a nice platformer!

Rarely ever write reviews, but this game? Absolute delight. Super addictive, finished the game within a few days. Very few ads. Instant restart on death, so the gameplay loop is never interrupted. Great artstyle, great music. Challenging without being difficult. Even if your not much of a platformer fan, like myself, this game is still super great. My only complaint? It's too short! Can't wait for more levels.

Thank you so much for playing my game! I hope to return to work on Jump Jerboa in the near future after I'm done with more urgent projects.
