Mr. Run and Jump

I'm a couple hours in at some level and just totally stuck at a jump. Not sure what I'm missing, I'm not even really close to hitting it. I've tried turning the assistance on but it never shows up. Oh well. This game is alright, but there are better options out there.

底子挺好的游戏，动作模组类似马里奥奥德赛。 但后期 “时机活关卡” 被过于滥用了，让我实在无法愉悦地玩下去。 求求你们不要再在精确平台游戏里放各式各样的变种煤球啦！真的0个人喜欢煤球！0个人喜欢时机活！ 滥用时机活只会让游戏变成 “初见杀+背板” 游戏啊kora！ 哈哈，与石头顶级智斗！与青蛙顶级智斗！与菱形顶级智斗！与伸缩棒顶级智斗！与膨胀球顶级智斗！与骷髅头顶级智斗！与飞光虫顶级智斗！与冲锋垃圾车顶级智斗！ 冲锋垃圾车这种玩意就该被扫进历史的尘埃里口牙！ 哈哈，与键位顶级智斗！与误触顶级智斗！与土狼跳顶级智斗！与消失的二段跳顶级智斗！ 所以为什么不让我改键，我受够了高跳/远跳/前扑这仨兄弟互相误触的感觉了。 优点是动作模组真的很爽，而且换图就可以存档，必要时可以把蓝水晶分开存。 虽然游戏里写着ctrl是前扑，但其实shift也可以。 炫光可以关，不然我这种眼睛脆弱人士早就光敏性癫痫了。 魂GN：推荐还是要推荐的，但恨煤球还是要恨的。

I really love this modern version of Atari. I’m not going to pretend every game they publish is a banger. But the ones that are good are genuinely brilliant, and it feels like the whole world is sleeping on them. The story behind Mr. Run and Jump is that it started as a homebrew project for the Atari 2600. And it’s a pretty nice platformer, which I’m saying with the full knowledge that Pitfall exists. A lesser company would’ve ignored it. Nintendo and Sega ignore homebrew on their old systems all the time. Atari looked at this and went: yeah, we can make something of this. So they did. They turned it into a modern release, while still letting the 2600 version exist as the weird little origin story it is. The game even starts with a nod to that homebrew version. Then it opens up into this full glowing neon version of the idea. And it’s a precision platformer. No gimmicks. Just tight movement and a ton of jumping options that chain together. Double jumps, dives, long jumps, wall jumps, all that stuff. You’re basically learning to fly, except the game is constantly trying to kill you for it. There are enemies everywhere, but you don’t fight them. You dodge them. Spikes, skull-looking things, bouncing hazards, crush blocks. The whole world is an obstacle course and you’re just threading needles at full speed. This is not a graphical tour de force, and it shouldn’t be. It’s built on an Atari 2600 homebrew concept. It stays true to that DNA. But the music is excellent. The soundtrack is genuinely catchy, and the sound effects are satisfying in that clean arcade way. Also, the funniest part is you can buy this as an official Atari 2600 cartridge, and it even runs on the modern 2600+ hardware on an HDTV. That’s such a niche flex, but I respect it. Atari isn’t making blockbuster hits anymore, and I’m fine with that. What they’re putting out instead is gold. I want one of these to break through and become a real hit, because I like what they’re doing and I want them to keep doing it. And I’ll give them credit: they’ve been letting indie developers make things with their IP, and a lot of the time it’s turning into something actually worth playing. Mr. Run and Jump isn’t even nostalgia bait. It just feels like an Atari game made in 2023, which is a harder trick than it sounds. So yeah. If Atari was a key part of your childhood like it was mine, this is one you should pick up. It was my first console when I was 3 years old. I still remember it. And this game feels like it belongs in that lineage.

I used to play this game when I little back in the day Those were good times.. This is a great remake of my childhood :)

my favorite game!

This game is very underrated, if you are looking for a challenging platformer than this is a really good option for you.
