Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think this game has good graphics and classic game style.
All we supported was the secret life of worlds, we say theyd have 12 players going to twelve zones its easy as the greatest track in all six collections, a character coming soon its colored black and red. Guess what, we know who its gonna be, its Shadow and the skin will be matched! Or we could see Metal Sonic because the robot metal sonic is blue, red and yellow or you could add even another female character in that game! Cream is one of the cutest, the tall cat, Big would be here too literally! (but not just cream and big, others) we have wanted to see a reg version helper, if we had shadow in the game, Im still happy you brought Blaze and Silver to the app also add Omochao (his ability will be to guard) guard a magnificent player or be a character too, also add Espio, Charmy and Vector to the game too! Their powers will be the bionic crash for Espio the butterfly flaps for Charmy and some detectable lockers for Vector to use on the chains, and also make Marine so her powers will be that she can sail across the beach ashore, and add Jet, Storm and Wave as the Babylon Rogues and their powers will be the extreme gear board riding jumps and theyll steal treasure usually, theyre also thieves so they will do an extreme ski lift and steal gold coins and add Mighty and Ray so they can climb on hills and walls and flutter around and add Heavy & Bomb for their extra crashing courage and make Tangle and Whisper so they can launch balls with shots under the sparkling sky make Jewel so she gets kidnapped by Dr. Eggman and therell be new zones for the app, and also add Lanolin, shell need a bowling target to shot her arrows at Eggman, also add the Phantom Rider so he cheats in the race and lies to people that hell let them win and also add the master life form Super Sonic his ability will be the most amazing super sonic speedy boom enemy damage break! And fix the cloud save so it can stay clear (letter stamped).
When we were a kid we had a tablet and when we saw sonic jump in our tablet, we like the game so much then Im have a iPhone and we play sonic jump.
We love this game but is it alright if we could get the free rings choice again.
Hi we love this game but one thing we miss is the free rings and the sonic jump fever icon in the corner. On the plus sides it is really cool to see the global leaderboards and see your achievements btw.
Great! Better than doodle jump.
We got this game 10 minutes ago and it is really good! It challenging and easy at the same time.
This game has surprisingly a large amount of levels, and has consumed plenty of our time. Although it is mechanically simplistic, we cant help the fact that its pretty addicting. Especially if youre laying on the couch and dont have anything planned, this could easily sweep away and take up a lot of time. We enjoyed a lot.
Infinite would be OP you would be able to teleport every 1 minute and add raritys we know this game just came out but we doesnt mean we can get updates please please also add metal sonic his ability will be like the tails ability and also super sonic he would be able to turn super form and also add shadow his ability would be to fly with his shoes.
We play this on an iPad Pro we like the game but the frame rate seems sluggish like the game plays ironically enough since this is a sonic game like its in slow motion. Sega please fix this issue.
We played this game fully, unlocked all characters, and completed every single mission, we just wish this game was fully completed. Like sega, the character files are already in the game, just plop them in, do a little coding, then whabam, 3 new characters for every one to enjoy, but we guess we are left hanging huh? Still a great game though.
Simple, straight to the point, doodle jump style jumping fun, Sonic style! The art of the cutscenes, characters and zones are very cool! Theres tons of levels, characters, power ups and achievements. Well worth the play, if youre into this style of gameplay. Kept us entertained for a few days =) we do miss Sonic Jump Fever though, rip.
This game along with geometry dash and rambo were our favorite childhood games and we just bought it today and it is as fun as we remember it to be.
We used to love this game on our old java phone back in the day. Was pleasantly surprised to see the ios port is still being updated to this day. Id play this over doodle jump any day :).
This game is solid but its slightly bland and if possible please bring back sonic jump fever it was such a good but wasted game please add it back to the App Store.
The lack of swipe controls for a Doodle Jump clone is baffling to us, and it doesnt even fill the whole screen on a modern phone. This game isnt designed to automatically adjust to the taller aspect ratio of the phones we have today. Beyond that, our other main gripe is with achievements that force you to do things like buy items in the shop in order to help raise your level in the game. Issues like those we mentioned above are clear signs that this is an unpolished game made simply to make a quick buck. Its also- oddly enough- a remake/sequel to a game of the same name for even OLDER phones. And yet the visual touches in this game are charming including the comic style cutscenes. So far, Ive only fought the first boss, and Im intrigued to see what more this game can throw at us. Its a fun little time-waster. Is it worth $3 though? When there are cheaper options including free-to-play games? No. Our rating is a whole star lower than it wouldve otherwise been because this game- while a fine price for a working adult- is too expensive by mobile game standards for the surprising lack of polish present in a Sonic game of all things. We wish the developer would update the game with a multitouch control scheme where touching the screen starts a level and swiping that finger moves Sonic while either tapping that finger or touching the screen with a second finger activated the double-jump. Its a fine game. It does the job. We just expect more from a $3 Doodle Jump clone of a mobile game when it has Sonic in the name.
This Game Is Terrible It Is Super Hard And Level 3 Makes You Die.
The game is good but the app icon is all black and doesnt show on Home Screen.
Not only is it a fun game but it helped get us views on our YouTube channel (speedy_2012).
We love the game so much and its all so fun to play.
Not only is it a fun game but it helped get us views on our YouTube channel (speedy_2012).
We used to play this a lot in like 2015 or whatever when it was free, but the 2.99 is worth it for the nostalgia, plus its just a good game in general.
Games awesome. Though when we download it, the icon is blank. But the game works otherwise Hope you can fix this.
The little hard but its very fun.
Note icon does not seem to work since iOS 15.0 for sonic jump even after uninstalling and reinstalling but fun game.
Why do we have to tilt our device.
Ton of fun! Love playing and competing against friends.
We love this game but we dont like that characters cost money we want to have all the characters but we only have sonic and blaze which is just sonic rush characters if characters cant be unlocked at least when you get wallpapers you get that character anyways thanks SEGA for making this bye.
Used to play this back in 2912 for free and havent had an iphone for a while and now we paid 2.99 to play it back again really worth the nostalgia and the money.
SEGAHARDLIGHT pleaseeeeee bring beck sonic jump fever pleaseeee we wannna play as shadowwwww please SEGEHARDLIGHT.
This is the best sonic game for the iPad. We really like to play with our dad and hes not so good as we are but maybe one day when he grew up he will be as good as we are and we are just six years old can you believe it.
So far its good a little bit hard but its fun.
So we love this game and we loved the new zones but there was something about not having zones from older games that would fit in to this gameplay style. The zones we are talking about casino night zone, casino street zone , mad gear zone, Casino park (though you could call it pinball city if you did use it because you would use parts of pinball tables to get around), Bingo highway, crisis city, titanic monarch zone, Eggman empire fortress from sonic forces, and water palace. The bosses for each of these levels could be as follows. Casino nights boss could be the boss from sonic 2s casino night, the boss for casino street could be casino streets boss from sonic 4 episode one, so basically every level that had a boss in their old games have that zones original zones boss except for a few. Casino park would need a new boss because it never had a boss because bingo highway was the only one that had a boss. Crisis city would have iblis as the boss and Solaris as the final one. Water palace should have sonic rushs final boss as its first boss but have sonic rush adventures final boss as the final boss with both having the same music that they had originally. Titanic monarch should have its act 1s boss be the first boss and have act 2s boss (aka the final boss) be the last boss (When we say act 1 and 2, we mean titanic monarchs bosses from sonic mania). Before we go, we have this idea of this zone called slime palace zone; a zone that has bouncy slime floors , sticky slime that makes you slow, and slime that blocks most of your view if you land on it. And that is some content you can add to make this game better. Well actually, thats not true because we still really, really, really, really want tails doll to be added as a character.
Not only is it sonic (which automatically makes it good on our standards) but he is jumping now we would expect that from Mario but with sonic you gotta jump fast.
Wow. We have nothing to say but we are stunned by the way this game is played. Incredible mechanics, awesome graphics, and reasonable difficulty progression. These things are all we have to say in order for this to be the best mobile game we personally tried or heard of.
Its good but it doesnt have shadow you just jump WITH OUT SHADOW.
The games good and we like it but silvers levitation is to short can you please make it last longer.
It's nice to play our favorite childhood game again! Nothing really negative to say here.
We really like jumping in the game.
Could you please add more characters like Shadow, Big The Cat, Charmy, and lots of other Sonic characters.
There are STILL 3 more characters that have yet to be updated in Sonic Jump Original. They are… Shadow the Hedgehog. Vector the Crocodile. Cream the Rabbit. With her Chao friend, Cheese. Also, even though Sonic Jump Fever is not in the App Store anymore, please update the latter 2 Characters, along with Rouge, to that game as well.
We really love this game! But we do think it could use a more characters… Its also very addicting LOL.
If he was Mario he would be fat thats enough.
We love this game to bits and played it for years,but there is just a problem with the when we play it with our iOS 11 tablet.When we enter the game,it runs a lot slower than normal but its still playable,just not as enjoyable as it is normally.
Ive redownloaded the game several times but the app has a pitch black icon every time. Dont know whats going and have update our firmware as well. Great game though.
We have loved this since our iPhone 7. This has nothing to do with game play or function but just got iPhone 13 pro and the app icon is solid black.
We were slightly hesitant after the train wreck that was Sonic Runners Adventure, but this game is well worth the pocket change. The lack of dialogue is a small gripe, but the gameplay and visuals are both really good. We were skeptical of the motion controls for steering your jumps but as someone who instinctively curves when turning in mario kart and team sonic racing, the controls felt really natural and responsive, we havent yet missed a platform we were aiming for. Some people might have trouble adjusting to it, but we feel any other control method would be too in precise for the way the game is designed. We wouldnt recommend further micro transactions unless you REALLY like the game but its well worth the initial price.
This Gaem Is Gud Except It'''S Not Like Sans Crazy City Rush.
As always, SEGA delivers a fun Sonic game with interesting gyroscope motion controls to shake things up. The ability to attack as you jump is a great godsend. Good game.
