History VideoGame / Jumper

* JokeCharacter: The Grey Ogmo in ''Jumper Three''.

[[http://www.freegamearchive.com/download-games/freeware/arcades/jumper-opposing-forces/15466 There's also Matt's favourite fangame]]: ''Jumper: [[VideoGame/{{Half-Life1}} The Opposing Forces]]'', about two other experiments being sent to kill Ogmo, as well as a fan-made ''[[http://www.filestube.com/dL0Uj7BRqfEqbqlx5S58mf/Jumper-Two-Redux-2-8.html Jumper 2 Redux]]'' which was going to be an AdaptationExpansion to Jumper Two, but now remains incompleted.

* HighVoltageDeath: These games feature very common electric currents which are an instant death for Ogmo

** Also, during the FinalBoss [[spoiler: Even after you hit Gostbot with three blue balls, you need to wait a few more seconds for him to get into position while having to dodge Princess and Upside and the red energy balls. Woe to you if you die before the cutscene triggers...]]

* NostalgiaLevel: In ''Jumper Two'', Sector 8 has 5 annoying difficult levels from the first ''Jumper'' game, slightly altered with the new JumpPhysics in mind.

* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Jumper Two''. The third game is a SequelDifficultyDrop.

* AbandonedLaboratory: Near entirety of the first ''Jumper''.

[[quoteright:350:~~VideoGame PlatformGame~~]]

Has no relation to the other works titled ''{{Jumper}}''.

* EscortMission: 10-2 in ''Jumper Two'', sort of. [[spoiler: You and Gostbot will need to work together to escape the room. However, it's not really Gostbot that's the concern, it's you, since you have to do most of the work.]]

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: The first two Jumper games had you use the arrow key to jump, while the default key for jumping was S in ''Jumper Three''. Therefore, if you were used to the first two games controls, this might throw you for a loop.

* CharacterSelectForcing: You won't earn HundredPercentCompletion in ''Jumper Three'' unless you use ''every'' character (except for Grey Ogmo, [[JokeCharacter for obvious reasons]]).

* AWinnerIsYou: ''Jumper'' and ''Jumper Three'' rewards you with a screen counting all your deaths throughout the game... and nothing else.

* DifficultySpike: Can start as early as Sector 2 for the first two games, and [[ItGotWorse it gets worse]].

* FakeDifficulty: Some, ''only'' some gems in ''Jumper Two'' are cheaply hidden behind [[BehindTheBlack hidden passages]]. Otherwise, it's inverted. ''Hard''.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{Raocow}} Yellow hurts.]] Red (electricity) hurts not. The yellow arrows give extra {{Double Jump}}s. To unlock the exit to the right, you must push the crate onto the button.]]

Ogmo appeared in ''Super VideoGame/MeatBoy'', as a playable character.

* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Ogmo]]: Blue Ogmo in ''Jumper Three''. He slips around like hell, but he can create platforms to cross pits.

* ShockAndAwe: The Conductor in ''Jumper Two''. [[IncrediblyLamePun He also controls a train]].

Ogmo appeared in ''Super VideoGame/MeatBoy'', as a playable character. There's even a friendly jab at him if you select his player icon, which, due to his similar design to Meat Boy, ironically puts him as a [[TakeThat "Rip-off"]]. (''Jumper'' was released before Meat Boy...)

Has no relation to the book/movie ''Literature/{{Jumper}}''.

''Jumper'' is a series of NintendoHard [[FreewareGame freeware platform games]] by Matt Thorson. This would introduce his style of ultra challenging platforming that would be seen in [[http://www.mattmakesgames.com/ most other games that he could make]].

[[http://www.freegamearchive.com/download-games/freeware/arcades/jumper-opposing-forces/15466 There's also Matt's favourite fangame]]: ''Jumper: [[{{Half-Life}} The Opposing Forces]]'', about two other experiments being sent to kill Ogmo, as well as a fan-made [[http://www.filestube.com/dL0Uj7BRqfEqbqlx5S58mf/Jumper-Two-Redux-2-8.html Jumper 2 Redux]] which was going to be an AdaptationExpansion to Jumper Two, but now remains incompleted.

* BreatherLevel: Oddly enough for one so late in the game, 7-4 in ''Jumper 1''. Yeah, there's a lot of spikes, but there's also a lot of golden arrows that'll renew your DoubleJump.

* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Ogmo]]: Blue Ogmo in ''Jumper Three''. He slips around like hell, and he can create platforms to cross pits.

* NiceHat: You can buy these in ''Jumper Three'''s sector 2-5, alongside CoolShades.

* SuperSoldier: Ogmo

* PlayingTennisWithTheBoss: Played straight and subverted in ''Jumper Two''. When you first face [[BigBad The Boss]], you'll need to dodge spikes and his red energy balls while hitting the blue energy balls at him. When you face him for the second time, it's now on a platform with [[spoiler:Princess and Upside]], and [[spoiler:when you hit a blue ball, it hits Gostbot instead so you can encourage him to attack the final boss.]]

In the second game, Ogmo is being hunted by an unknown businessman that wants to use him to TakeOverTheWorld. This game also introduced inertia and friction, allowing for new cool tricks like {{wall jump}}ing or skid-jumping. The third game has Ogmo searching for a new home on a planet millions of miles away after leaving Earth in a rocket ship. Currently, there are plans for a fourth game in the series.

[[http://blog.mattmakesgames.com/2009/06/jumper-opposing-forces.html There's also Matt's favourite fangame]]: ''Jumper: [[{{Half-Life}} The Opposing Forces]]'', about two other experiments being sent to kill Ogmo, as well as ''[[http://blog.mattmakesgames.com/2009/10/jumper-plus.html Jumper Plus]]'', a fan game made in the style of the first ''Jumper'' game and fan-made [[http://www.filestube.com/dL0Uj7BRqfEqbqlx5S58mf/Jumper-Two-Redux-2-8.html Jumper 2 Redux]].

Has no relation to the movie ''Literature/{{Jumper}}'', and let's be honest, that had a game [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames which doesn't warrant good conversation]].

* LevelsTakeFlight: The final sector takes place on a plane ([[MalevolentArchitecture if you can call it a plane at all]]) from which Ogmo must escape, as usual.
