Jump Adventures is now free on Steam
Jump Adventures has permanently dropped its roughly $2.99 price tag, giving Steam players a small hand-drawn platformer to try for free.
Jump Adventures is now free on Steam after its solo developer removed the game's roughly $2.99 price tag. The change follows a September 24 update that also improves the visuals and adds a new movement mechanic, according to GameRant's report.1
What changed
Jump Adventures is a minimalist 2D platformer in which players guide a cube through hazards and different biomes while collecting special items. The game uses environmental effects such as wind to shape its obstacle courses, and includes customisable cube appearances, Steam achievements and an in-game stats tracker.1
The game was listed as free on its official Steam store page when checked for this story.2 That means the price change is more than a temporary giveaway: players can add the game to their libraries without paying, while the developer's latest update remains available.
Our opinion
This is a small release rather than the latest giant Steam sensation, but a permanent price drop gives curious players a low-risk way to try its hand-drawn presentation and relaxed platforming. The sensible expectation is a short, "bite-sized" journey rather than a sprawling campaign, based on the developer description reported by GameRant.1
For players after a quick platforming diversion, Jump Adventures is now an easy one to keep in the library. The official store listing should still be checked before downloading in case the price or availability changes.2
