4.3Have fun with this entertaining new 2D platformer game. Jungle Jim will need all your jump and run skills to reach the treasure chest at the end of each level. Along the way, break blocks, pick up fruits and collect coins to increase your score while avoiding enemies, spikes, and exploding blocks. Note that big mushrooms can serve as trampolines. There are 7 levels to play and the difficulty increases as you proceed.
Somewhere between a puzzle and a story sits the adventure game. You are given a world to walk through and a reason to be there. Progress comes from paying attention: a loose brick, a character who mentions a key, a path you missed. The pace is steady rather than frantic, and sessions usually last until you reach a satisfying moment to stop.
Jungle Jim is a slow game in the best sense. It gives you time to think and rewards you for looking carefully. It is free to play in the browser with nothing to install, and it suits a quiet evening on a laptop as well as a tablet on the sofa.
Suits players of around ten and up who like to explore and figure things out. Adults who enjoyed point-and-click games will appreciate it. Those looking for constant action may find the pace slow.
