Jumpman is retro, fun, and free

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Jumpman, (no, not Jumpman), is a game for Mac/PC/Linux/iPhone with the look and feel of an Atari-era puzzle-platformer but with a few interesting twists thrown in. It’s fun! You can download it for *free* and give it a whirl. If you like it, consider shelling out a mere $2.99 for the iPhone version to support the creator.

Speaking of the creator, who seems to go by Mechanically Separated Meat, he (she?) sounds like a very smart and interesting fellow whose blog posts include lengthy discussions on Quantum Physics. His hacked SNES9X code for rendering multiple attempts on Super Mario World is particularly interesting.

PS, I found this guy via TouchArcade. (Bit Pilot is good too!)

Splume update!

The makers of Splume have made a port of their game for iPhone called iSplume. It uses the orientation of the screen to apply gravity to the blobs! I tried it out and must say that I was disappointent that there is no puzzle mode. However, rumors are that one may be coming in the future.
