About this game

Bump 'n' Jump is an action-focused racing game released in 1982. Players navigate 32 roadways, ramming computer-controlled cars, jumping over waterways, and avoiding obstacles while trying to stay on the road.

Crashing opposing cars earns points, while reaching the end of a roadway provides bonus points. The courses become progressively harder with curves, narrow sections, water, and additional obstacles. Players begin with five cars and earn another at 20,000 points. The game supports solo play and challenges against a friend.
