From its several art styIes to its genuinly funny characters to its fast and fun play, Comic Jumper leaps to perfection.
The most notable feature of Comic Jumper is its humor. It's embedded in the game, from the dialogue to the descriptions of the unlockable extras. The game is replete with lines of banter between Smiley and Star as they shoot their way from one page to another that at their worst will make you smile and at their most will make you chuckle. Each character in the story is memorable and humorous. The most of which being a sexually questionable unicorn named Pling Pling who desperately begs you to ride him. It's a rarety to find a game with humor that hits more than it misses, but Comic Jumper will do just that with few flat jokes and plenty that are at the least snicker-worthy.
Other Notable Features:
Shifting Art Styles: Each of the four worlds you'll encounter has a specific style, from the moder world of Captain Smiley, to the Silverage style of the Improbable Paper Pals and even a black-and-white Manga style.
Tons of Extras: There are videos and modles and songs (not all directly related to the game) and over a hundred peices of concept art along with comics (many of which go deeper than the cover) to be unlocked.
Mixture of 2D and 3D: The game does a fantastic job of creating variety with a mix between simple sidescrolling gameplay and somewhat on-rails 3D gameplay, in which you move side-to-side and jump, but movement foreward is done automatically.
Lackluster Features:
Difficult: The difficulty can ratchet high at points, but playing through older levels or challenges to amass more cash to buy power-ups can take away that stress.
Comic Jumper is an insanely fun and just plain insane game with over-the-top characters, gameplay, everything really. It holds its own on every front and never lets go until it's over.
