Jump Stars
Introducing Jump Stars, the bonkers new local multiplayer party game which pits player against player in a bizarre, violent game show – whilst they collectively compete to save their skins. Jump Stars is a two to four player party game that blurs the lines between cooperative and competitive play. Cooperate as a team to get as much score as you can, then jump, punch, break, munch, explode, and crunch your teammates out the way to steal first place! Try to reach 'The Gauntlet' by getting enough team score in each of four random mini-games chosen by the ominously cuckoo host, in 'Tournament'! Or, build your very own line-up, choosing from a array of unique mini-games across 25 different settings, in 'My Show'. Then pick one of 24 different cosplaying Cubee contestants to play as!

Good concept mixing coop/counterop altogether. I understand the lack of minigame variety may be a pushback for some people, but it honestly deserves much better rating that what it got now. Cute, simple/straightforward gameplay, neat visual design, original characters, good quality art/animations.
If you want a pro brawler, we all know where to find 'em. This is obviously supposed to be something else, and it's successfully achieved it imho.

Full controller + Steam Link support.
✔️The brief intro provided before each mini-game is PERFECTLY informative and visually appealing
✔️Clever use of new mini-games, as well as satisfying versions recycled from other games
✔️Narrator is funny
✔️Art is cute, but can be a little "busy" on screen at times
✔️Sudden changes to mini-games during play can shake things up
❌Hitboxes are unreliable; most noticeably player avatars feel too small for the environments they're in
❌Controls are adequate, but the punching left/right/up feel awkwardly placed on the controller
❌Some people may find the sudden changes during a mini-game disorienting, especially during quick play sessions at parties
❌Jumping feels stiff and rather pathetic: more like lazy hops
Summary: My gaming group said it's "alright, but we've played much better" and added "it'll probably feel like a better game if we played it again and again, but it's not as much fun as a quick pick up and play." Still, it's better than a lot I've seen and we did decide to keep it installed for "another go at it" so for now we recommend it.

Let's be honest. This game isn't revolutionary. But it is a cute party game that you can enjoy for several hours. If you play it for too long, it will quickly get boring.
The game: You participate in a game show with your friends. In order to earn points, you need to survive and jump on the platforms that display your own colour. Gathering these points makes you win the game show. Whoever survives the longest, gets the most points and wins inside the team. So, you need to somehow play together, in order to win the game show, but meanwhile you must survive longer than your mates to beat them. You can either help each other or try to push the others to their deaths. It is an interesting concept.
The mini games are entertaining, even though some of them are very similar. There is a total of 10 game modes and there are 25 different settings (which are tied to a certain game mod).
The controls are very basic. All you need to do is move and jump (and punch the opponents if you want to).

A series of mini games with a good sense of humour. A fun party game for up to 4 people. The best way to play is having 4 people on the couch. A lot of fun

It's okay I guess.
If you have friends to play with then this game might be worth buying while on sale.
I would not pay full price though.

Jump, Bop, Bip, Boop. Das The Name Of The Game!
Brings Back The Classic Mario Party Feel With 4 Player Couch Co-Op, & THEN Screw Your Friends Over For The Win!
Online Would Be Great In The Future, But This Game Still Slaps!!!
