Jumping Frenzy Review

Jumping Frenzy is a light game based on the old addictive qualities of Nintendo's old Game and Watch handheld titles.

Like the Game and Watch titles, Jumping Frenzy is addictive, repetitive and increasingly challenging.  In the game you play as two men holding a net and your aim is to rescue as many animals, people and furniture as possible.

For every piece missed you lose a life but if you catch a heavy lion, bear or elephant you also lose a life.  The aim is to rescue as many items as possible before your inevitable failure.

Graphically Jumping frenzy is charming to look at and nicely fast paced, preventing the player from getting bored.  The hand drawn locations are easy on the eyes and the animals and characters are portrayed in a cute way.

Overall there is not much more to say about Jumping Frenzy, it is not a deep game but it fulfils the needs of most people who have an ipod, a brief game which can be played in a lunch-break or at the bus stop.  It will keep you playing for a while and is a superb ipod game.

Jumping Frenzy is a light and addictive arcade game, with a retro feel suitable for all 4/5
