Indie game publisher Meridian4 is proud to announce the upcoming release of Jumphobia: Homeward Bound, a side-scroller platformer created by indie developer Wix Games. Scheduled for official release in Q1 2022, Jumphobia: Homeward Bound is a fast-paced platformer with no jump button!
Jumphobia: Homeward Bound is a game built around the premise of getting from "A" to "B" by jumping - but not when you want to! All Jump-bots are built with a failsafe to limit their maneuverability, meaning that you as the player can only automatically jump when you reach the edge of a drop or platform. That's right - it's a platforming game without a jump button!
Artist statement: The concept for the original Jumphobia game was to try and see if a platform could still be fun without a jump button. It’s the most important element to almost every platformer - so what would happen if it isn’t there? The result was a game where you have to think about everything differently. The difficulty no longer comes from pressing jump at the right time in order to clear the gap, it’s now a question of which gap is the right one to clear - or how can I make it past this obstacle without the freedom to jump whenever I want? The original game was built for a large variety of platforms including the web, so simple graphics and small file size were a necessity. With this new game, we want to really up the quality and push the concept to its limits, with a much higher level count, new lighting systems and 3D graphics, and a fully-fledged story with 3D cutscenes. I started making games as a 13-year-old working from my bedroom, a year later I released my first popular web game Duck Life and created Wix Games the year after in 2010. Since then we’ve had a number of hits and grown to a full-time team of 3.
