Puzzle game

Jumping Kangaroo

Tap to hop a kangaroo up an endless run of platforms and push your height record higher each run.

Difficulty: Easy to moderate
Compatibility: See device support below

Game overview

Jumping Kangaroo is a vertical climber measured in one number: how high you got. A tap sends the kangaroo up to the next platform, and the platforms keep arriving in patterns that force you to commit to a side before you can see what is above. There is no ceiling and no level list, so the whole game is a rhythm you either hold or lose, and every run ends with a score you immediately want to beat.

This title is best suited to score chasers who want a one-tap climb between other tasks.

Keep taps evenly spaced; rushing is what breaks a good run
Take the shorter hop when two routes are open
