Super Jumpy Ball is inspired by retro platformer titles and boasts multiplayer for 1-8 players. Levels are short and sweet, with optional collectibles and obstacles to overcome. The objective is to traverse through each level, bouncing up walls and over deadly obstacles to avoid spikes while making it toward the goal post.
Super Jumpy Ball seems to be heavily inspired by titles like Super Meat Boy, and has simple mechanics that are easy to learn. As you pass through levels, the difficulty curve increases, making you adapt your strategy to make it to the goal.
