Puppy Jump

Your puppy bounces all by itself. Steer it left and right onto the next platform, grab the treats, and see how high you can climb before you miss a landing.

How to Play

Choose Easy, Medium or Hard and press Play.
The puppy bounces every time it lands on top of a platform. There is no jump button.
Steer left or right while it is in the air to line up the next landing.
Go off one side of the screen and the puppy comes back on the other side.
Collect paw-shaped treats for bonus points and use pink spring pads for a super bounce.
If the puppy falls below the bottom of the screen, the run ends and your best score is saved on this device.

Game Tips

Start steering early. A normal bounce rises well above the next platform, so you have time to drift across while going up.
The side wrap is often the shortest route. If the next platform is near the far edge, go out the other side instead of crossing the whole screen.
Brown wooden platforms with cracks crumble after one bounce, so do not plan on landing on them twice.
Moving platforms show small white arrows. Aim for where the platform will be when you come down, not where it is now.
A pink spring pad sends the puppy about three times higher than a normal bounce, which is a quick way to gain height.
Treats only give 10 points each while every metre climbed gives one point, so do not risk a fall for a treat that is out of reach.

About This Game

Puppy Jump is a vertical bouncing game played on a tall screen. The camera only ever scrolls upward, so every platform you pass becomes a fall hazard once it leaves the bottom of the view. The first few platforms are wide and evenly spaced so you can get a feel for the steering before anything tricky appears.

Scoring

You earn one point for every metre of height, shown in the Height read-out, plus 10 points for each treat. Height markers appear every 50 metres and a banner marks each new 100 metres early on.

Platforms and difficulty

Plain platforms are always safe. Higher up you will meet moving platforms that slide back and forth, crumbling wooden platforms that break after one bounce, and occasional spring pads for a super bounce. The difficulty setting changes how wide the platforms are, how far apart they get as you climb, and how soon the special platforms start: on Easy moving platforms begin around 140 m and crumbling ones around 240 m, while on Hard they appear from about 50 m and 90 m. Easy also adds more spare platforms beside the main route.

The sky slowly shifts from daytime blue to sunset and then to a starry night as you climb, which is a handy sign of how far you have come. Your best score is stored in your browser for each difficulty.
