About this game

Jumpman is a 1983 action-platform game set against a deep-space backdrop. Players guide the character across colorful pyramid-like structures, using diagonal movement and carefully planned jumps to color each square.

The game features six screens, with structures that vary in shape and include holes requiring more precise navigation. Completing each screen increases the number of pursuing enemies. Its presentation combines vibrant graphics with springy sound effects.
