Tips and tricks
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
- Because this is a Platform game, jump from the very edge of a platform for maximum distance.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Jungle Jim to anyone with a few minutes to spare and a competitive streak. Expect runs of thirty seconds to a few minutes, endlessly repeatable. Difficulty-wise it is simple rules, high skill ceiling. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
