For the first time in more than two years, our old pal Mikey is heading back to the App Store. Mikey Jumps is a brand new entry from developer BeaverTap Games but it pulls elements from all three previous games in the Mikey Trilogy. With "simple one-touch controls" you'll run and jump in classic Mikey Shorts [$1.99] fashion, hook and swing in Mikey Hooks [$1.99] fashion, and rocketboot yourself around in Mikey Boots [$1.99] fashion, all in the same game! Though we haven't seen any in-game screens or footage, it sounds like Mikey Jumps will be of the auto-runner variety based on its description. You can, however, feast your eyes on this very colorful promotional image below. Oooohhhh, shiny!
For those not up to speed on Mikey lore, BeaverTap Games is made up of Mike Meade and Mike Gaughen, who met right here on our very own forums. With both having a bit of game development experience, they took a stab at making their own speedrunning platformer, which turned into the fantastic Mikey Shorts. With a Halloween spinoff and two sequels under their belt, they took some time away from Mikey to build twitchy arcade games like Radical [Free], Move the Walls [Free], and Goat Rider [Free]. Mikey Jumps is their triumphant return to Mikey since 2014's Mikey Boots, and I'm very excited for it.
