Jumphobia
Bounce into the distant future of Euro Nova, one of the last surviving cities on a scorched Earth after a century of corporate war. At the heart of this dark metropolis is a courier jump-bot who delivers packages throughout the many layers of the city, but finds himself in unfamiliar territory when he is uprooted from his humble workaday life and cast out in favour of a newer model. With the help of a newfound canine friend, he sets off on a journey to get back home – the long way round.
Story Mode
Play through 30 varied story levels, with a host of puzzles and obstacles to conquer – can you beat them all? Or is this all too easy for you? Then maybe you need to try the challenge mode! Break some records and smash those times. Test your personal best if you think you are good enough. As you play, you’ll collect all sorts of nuts, bolts and discarded scrap to spend on customising your robot. Make that lovable little jump-bot your own with some crazy colour schemes and sleek redesigns.
Gameplay
As the name suggests, Jumphobia is a game built around the premise of getting from “A” to “B” by jumping – but not when you want to! All Jump-bots are built with a failsafe to limit their manoeuvrability, meaning that you as the player can only automatically jump when you reach the edge of a drop or platform. That’s right – it’s a platforming game without a jump button! You can’t jump by choice, so it’s going to mean taking a much less direct route home for our mechanical chum – you’ll need to think on your feet, so to speak!
Level World
Think you can do better than us? Design your own levels in our level builder. Assemble wild contraptions and deadly traps to fool even the smartest of players, and then share your creations with the community and flummox your friends and foes alike with your ingenious inventions. Forge your own and become a master level builder, or browse the level world menu in search of a worthy challenge and rise to stardom setting records, earning medals and adorning your jump-bot’s profile with all your achievements.
Send your jump-bot homeward bound and navigate through this treacherous and exciting future! Explore, problem-solve and navigate your way through the world of Jumphobia!

I loved every minute of this game. The unique mechanic of only being able to jump when falling off ledges is such an interesting challenge and makes you think of the game in a completely different way. I'm a speedrunner and this game has so much potential for runs. There are many levels that each have their unique quirks and mechanics along with power-ups that give you special abilities to continue to progress. I could see myself running this game for hours on end (probably will) because it isn't short and bland, it isn't long and overwhelming, but it's just the right amount of challenge with a great game length. I highly recommend this game because I love playing it and can't wait to see what the community discovers :)

Great game! Brings me back to the older days when I played this back in coolmath. Has a lot more variety now and that's great! Only problem is that at the time of me writing this review there is a bug with the crates where if you move them onto a vertically moving surface, they tend to break. Other than that, very enjoyable and can't wait to see it fixed! 8/10 as of now (15/04/22)

This is an interesting platformer in that you can't directly jump at will, which creates some interesting mechanics. There are really creative and rewarding puzzle mechanics that left me sastified. It's not a game that I am heavily excited to complete, but I enjoyed the time I spent with it.

Is Quack Street from Duck Life Adventure canonically in Euronova, or did the developers just re-use the neon sign with an image of noodles?

the story ends in a pretty unsatisfactory way imo but it's still really fun. I hope that at some point they add more to the story cus I'm actually really invested in it. and being able to make and play community levels is pretty fun, a LOT of random small bugs or things that are missing in the editor but still a fun ass game. oh and the music slaps

I'm a huge nitpick for sound design in games, and it can completely make or destroy my experience. I've played games with great sound design like Children of Morta, Celeste, and FTL: Faster Than Light, but I've also played games which could do better like Genshin Impact, Guild Wars 2, and Diablo II: Resurrected. This game absolutely falls into the first category. The score is immersive, enjoyable, and fitting, and it adds a lot to the game as a whole. I found myself coming back to the game mostly because of the soundtrack! Underrated game. 8/10
