Jump With Justin for Web Apps

Free vertical platformer

Jump With Justin is a browser game that offers endless vertical platformer gameplay.  Free to play on your browser, the game features a beaver who wants to fly as high as he can. It gives you full control of Justin the Beaver as he slingshots himself into the air. You need to grab shiny coins and various powerups to keep flying up—otherwise, he’ll fall and stop his progress. There are other obstacles to avoid, as well, such as spikes and heavy anvils. There’s no finishing line to this type of arcade game—you just have to keep beating your previous record.

The sky’s the limit

Jump With Justin is quite similar to the gameplay of titles, such as Doodle Jump and Sonic Jump. Your path is only upwards, and you lose if you fall past a certain distance. There are only three controls in the game. You can hold the Spacebar for pulling back the slingshot at the start of every round. Then, using the Left and Right Arrow keys, you can control where Justin will position himself while in the air. 

Justin can only continue to jump after the slingshot’s momentum disappears if you collect the scattered coins in the air and jump on stable platforms. There are many coins in the game, including the safe ones and the trampoline one. There are also wooden ones, which you can land on, but it has spikes underneath and can kill you if you hit them. Aside from coins, some powerups can also help you fly higher. The magnet will help attract more coins to boost you up, while the firecracker, the propeller, and the balloon boost you themselves. You can upgrade these powerups to last longer using your earned coins. 

On the other hand, the game also comes with other helpful items that can help you get a high score. The anvil makes you heavier, and there’s a potion that will shrink you. More, there is a jacket that will make you pass through platforms. The interface is pretty simple, with just the coins, your previous highest record, a boost timer, and the settings displayed. All in all, Jump Jump with Justin is a pretty standard game for its genre. However, it can be annoying sometimes as you can pass through the sides of the screen and fall.
