Mega Jump is one of those rare games, from which you can’t get away. In fact it’s almost as addictive as Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride or Angry Birds. It’s also free which lead to a massive 4.5 million gamers downloading it in a couple of months. It might be a praise towards capitalistic economy – you know, swallowing coings makes you go higher, but nevertheless it’s freaking entertaining and well thought out as a whole.

Your goal is to get as high as possible (an addict’s wet dream  ), and you achieve that by eating up coins. Each coin pushes you a little bit higher, and if you miss them, you fal and the game ends. There are some powerups and bonuses scattered along those vertical levels, which make the game even more entertaining. My favorite is by far “coin magnet”, that pulls all the coins towards the character.

The graphics are a bit like play-doh, mixed with watercolor backgrounds and it actually looks good together. For a free game it’s silly not to try it. Besides, 4 million people can’t be wrong. It’s a nice casual game, that can get pretty addictive, with good graphics and decent sounds. And free. What more to ask?
