Posted: 6 months ago.
Author: Ellen Robertson and @GeekDadGamer.
Overview
Jumpy Wall has simple controls that make the game easy to play but hard to master. You tap a button to jump and hold it to slide back down the wall. As you progress you can collect lives and take on various enemies, all by taping and jumping.
The game is bright and vibrant with a retro design, and by playing you can earn gems that allow you to unlock new colour schemes. These gems also work as a bench mark for how far you get each try.
