Jumpbait is a precision platformer about short levels, fast retries, and suspiciously convenient platforms. Run, jump, land, fail, restart, and learn which parts of the level were telling the truth.
Every stage starts with a clear goal: reach the exit. The problem is everything between you and it. Platforms crumble, vanish, move, delay, fake you out, or wait just long enough for you to trust them.
Deaths are quick. Restarts are immediate. Levels are compact enough to read, retry, and improve without waiting through long intros or slow reset animations.
Precision side-scrolling platforming
Deceptive platforms and trap-heavy level layouts
Fast restarts after mistakes
Local progress saving
Keyboard controls
Hundreds of escalating platform betrayal
Jumpbait is not about random punishment. Each trap teaches a rule, bends it, then asks whether you noticed. The more confident a platform looks, the more it deserves inspection.
