Jinxed Jump

Trust nothing. Dodge surprise traps, beat 40 tricky levels across four worlds and unlock 12 character skins.

Jinxed Jump title art: a small yellow hero with cat ears and wide eyes jumps above a pit of crumbling red blocks between two blue ledges, with pink spikes, a red crusher hanging from the ceiling and a green portal sliding away, under the words Surprise, Whoops and Nope.

About the game

Meet Pip, a tiny, wide-eyed hero with one job: reach the exit portal. The level has other plans.

Floors crumble the moment you trust them. Spikes pop out of innocent grass. The ceiling drops, slams down and climbs back up like nothing happened. Spikes slide in from the side, a fake portal waits to bite, and the real portal turns shy and runs away as you get close. Every surprise is a joke at your expense, and every death is over in 0.3 seconds: you respawn on the spot and try again.

Four worlds, 40 levels

  • Pastel Meadow: the gentle one. Learn what a trap looks like. Then learn it was lying.
  • Amber Dunes: gravity flips, so the ceiling becomes your floor.
  • Frost Caverns: zones that reverse your controls, and portals you can't trust.
  • Void Citadel: all of it at once.

Stars and skins

Every level has three stars: reach the portal, finish without a single death, and grab the secret crown or beat the par time. Spend your stars on 12 character skins, from Sunny Pip and Berry Puff to Shadow Cat, Pirate Blob and Cosmic King.

Every trap is fair once you've seen it, and short enough to laugh off: a level takes a few seconds, and a restart takes none. Your progress is saved.

Controls

  • Move: the arrow keys, or A and D.
  • Jump: Space, the up arrow or W.
  • R restarts the level. Esc pauses, and the game also pauses by itself when you switch away.
  • On mobile: on-screen left, right and jump buttons. Hold right and tap jump together.
