JumpBeard

JumpBeard is a tactical platformer adventure about Rupert, a one-legged pirate captain, and his companion Randy. Starting in the coastal city of Tortuga, Rupert sets out to reach a mythical treasure atop a local fortress, jumping through challenging terrain and hand-painted locations with different mechanics. A wrong jump sends him back to where he started, so progress depends on skill and patience.

Jumping and falling

Rupert can walk or jump, but his wooden leg lets him do only one at a time. He needs time to gather strength for a long jump, and can also bounce off walls. The result of each jump depends on the player's decisions and patience; when Rupert falls, the game saves his progress right away.

People along the way

Rupert meets remarkable characters, including a Scottish prisoner and a drunken trader. Some accompany him on his journey, while others may give him additional quests.

Improve your time

Each fall gives you a chance to improve your precision and finish the run faster than before. The game records both your best time and the time from your previous run. Choices along the way can change the rest of Rupert's life.
