A giant Iron Crab has appeared, and is dropping bombs all over the place. Someone needs to stop it, and a strapping young lad named Jumpboy rises to the challenge! JUMP! is the first title in the Arkedo series of retro-style indie games. It is a puzzle platform game where the player must guide Jumpboy around, collecting all of the bombs before they explode, while also collecting as much money as possible, and reaching the exit without dying.

There are numerous hazards on each stage, including crabs, snakes, bats, fire, and spikes, all of which will kill Jumpboy with a single hit. Each bomb on each stage has its own timer, and if any of them expires, then it will explode and Jumpboy dies. Some bombs are hidden inside treasure chests, as well, which will only open once Jumpboy has enough cash. There are a total of 30 stages and no continues, as well as unlockable challenge stages for clearing each stage with all of the money collected. [source:mobygames]
