1

Pick your controls!

You can either steer Joe via taps or swipes. Check out both of these control schemes and stay with the one that feels most natural and intuitive to you!

2

Get familiar with the game!

Jumping Joe's gameplay is as simple as it is addictive! Still, it does not become ingrained right away. Before you start going after highscores, familiarize yourselves with how the game works.

3

Skill up Before you dress up!

While Joe's countless faces, hats and trails are great fun, you'd better spend your first diamonds on skills rather than customization. Maxing out the helmet and the bomb ain't the worst strategy. ;)

4

Double your rewards!

Especially when you picked up many diamonds or opened a richly filled box, take your time to watch a video and double your reward! This helps you to skill up faster and save up on currency for customization.

5

Slow down after a poison cloud!

Sometimes, you cannot help but jump through poison clouds. Since their effects are time-bound, you better slow down as soon as you got poisoned. But take care! Don't get too slow or else the lava will get you!

6

Don't let the bats freak you out!

Due to their erratic flight pattern, bats are particularly tricky enemies. But don't let them freak you out! Often, remaining calm and letting them flap right over your head is the best way to avoid them.

7

Play social!

Jumping Joe is most fun when you play it with (or rather against) others! So connect your account to Facebook to try to beat your friends' highscores.

8

Trigger your inventory!

Joe can only carry one bomb or magnet at a time. If you cannot help but pick up a new power-up with the next jump, trigger your current bomb or magnet beforehand. Otherwise it will get lost.

9

Finish your missions!

Keep a keen eye on your missions (available via the main menu). Not only do these fun challenges add a nice twist to your regular jumping routine, but also do they grant you awesome rewards!

10

Find the right rhythm!

When your course is packed with obstacles, you need to find the perfect rhythm to get through in one piece. Within seconds, you might have to tap super-quick then take it slow and then tap super-quick again.

11

Use the rocket!

Fully maxed out, the rocket will take you straight to 200. While experienced players will easily get there on their own, it is still very helpful to be able to start from there with a fresh mind and full focus.

12

Have fun!

Joe's one helluva fun guy to hang out with! But from time to time he can also be quite nerve-racking, e.g. when he jumps into a spike a few platforms before you have reached a new highscore. In that case, don't be mad at him. It's situations like this that make it all the more rewarding if you set a new record during your next round!
