Jump*

2019. Video Game.

Jump* is a hybrid game that combines the movement mechanics of the classic Chu Chu Rocket with the spatial puzzle elements of Portal. The game challenges the player to deploy strategically-placed portals on the board to create a clear path to the goal.

Expanding on Chu Chu Rocket’s limited movement, where characters may only move forward and turn right in 90-degree angles on a 2D plane, the portals in Jump* allow the user to teleport to and from any of the six spatial dimensions. The added freedom of movement increases the difficulty of the puzzles and opens new opportunities for unique gameplay.
