This neon-drenched platformer made me absolutely miserable

Key art for Mr. Run and Jump

I’ve poured a fair amount of time into precision-based platforming games, but it’s rare that one has me sat, knuckles white, gripping my controller with every ounce of strength in my body trying to resist the urge to just call it quits and turn it off before I end up breaking something.

The neon world of Mr. Run and Jump takes all the confidence you might have regarding your platforming ability and puts you into what feels like the ultimate test of skill.  Though it initially comes across as a colorful and pretty friendly-looking platform game, potentially gunning to become one of the best indie games, it’ll very quickly have you staring at your screen with fear that blinking will make you misstep and need to repeat an entire section again.
