* FakeDifficulty: FakeDifficulty:
** There are some quirks in how ''Jumper'' works that might cause YetAnotherStupidDeath (probably the most egregious is being able to die to a fireball that you shouldn't be able to touch due to collision detection). Both ''1'' and ''2'' freeze for a while when the music loops (if you were in a middle of doing something, this probably will throw you off and kill you), but that's due to a quirk of the engine they were made in.

''Jumper'' tells the story of an escaped experiment named Ogmo. In the year 1888, scientists began a project to create the ultimate soldier, Ogmo being one of those experiments. But he was unfinished as the labs were abandoned during WorldWarI. Now, in the year 2004, Ogmo awakens and must escape the lab. It was later [[UpdatedRerelease re-released]] as ''Jumper Redux'', which feature both the original levels and an entirely new (and harder) set of levels with improved graphics.

* SuperSoldier: Ogmo was made with this in mind, but was abandoned halfway through developement during WorldWarI. Even then, he's very good at jumping and is TheAgeless, which the Boss wants to exploit to make his own army of Ogmo-bots.
