Joe Jump: Impossible Quest is launching today on the App Store and Google Play. Created by Spanish studio BlueFXGames, this unconventional runner presents players with 10 challenging levels filled with hand-crafted hazards and some truly devious platforming.
Quickly toss hatchets to chop down the wooden obstacles in your path. Keep on running and jumping along the way for the chance to discover special hidden levels. Help a lumberjack named Joe avoid spikes, thorns, and other obstacles on his quest to reach a distant castle – but don’t blink: One false tap will send you back to the start.
“Finite” Runner
Joe Jump is not an endless runner; instead, the game was carefully designed to better balance both fun and difficulty. In each level, you must react quickly to obstacles – throwing axes to clear them or leaving them alone to use as platforms. The ultimate goal is straightforward: Locate the castle – which appears in the final (hidden) level. To get there, you’ll need to complete every single level in the game. This takes a tremendous amount of skill – truly an “impossible quest”! Those who are successful will be rewarded with the game’s true ending.
“Joe Jump: Impossible Quest was inspired by tough-as-nails platformers that require absolute skill and commitment from players,” says Miguel Galle Hervás, project coordinator at BlueFXGames. “We started by keeping the difficulty level as high as possible – and then made even the most basic action (jumping!) feel really good, thanks to extensive user feedback. The result is a retro platformer with a real sense of danger, which has always been our goal!”
