Brings what grabs you about Jumpman: jumping and platforming, interconnected level design as well as a demanding difficulty.

You dive into the ground and gravity flips, so your conserved momentum launches you high into the sky or deep beneath the surface. Collect the three orbs in each level and reach the wormhole, while spikes and bottomless drops make every stage harder than the last.
