    About Jrump

    Four kiwis, 12 weeks and an idea for their first game – what could go wrong? Constantly intrigued by the international shit-storm that is the 2016 US election, A group of four guys from New Zealand took it upon themselves to portray the madness in game form. What started as a small scale project to see if a studio consisting of two designers and one consisting of two developers could work well together, quickly spiraled into a lot more.

    The idea is simple: The year is 2017. Following Donald Jrump's successful bid at the 2016 US election, international borders have closed up, global warming research has halted and brick sales have increased at a staggering rate. With the world now in utter chaos and his tiny hands growing increasingly sweaty, it's time for Donald to leave to make the Galaxy great again. How? By jumping on his favorite things in the world... Walls!

    The game puts you in the shoes of earth's 'hero', Donald Jrump. Standing in front of multiple American landmarks (Wallytown D.C, Lost Vegas, New Dork and Follywood) players must swipe to create brick walls for Donald to jump on. As the last one breaks away, another must be drawn to help him continue his mission into the galaxy. On the way up you will navigate around Mexicans, global warming scientists, jetpack strapped politicians and even aliens. So what's your goal? Unlock new characters, climb the leader-board and make the galaxy great again!

    Donald Jrump has destroyed earth and there is hell toupee. With his work now done, draw walls, escape politicians and make the galaxy great again. The year is 2017. Following Donald Jrump's successful bid at the 2016 US election, international borders have closed up, global warming research has halted and brick sales have increased at a staggering rate. With the world now in utter chaos and his tiny hands growing increasingly sweaty, its time for Donald to leave to make the Galaxy great again. How? By jumping on his favorite things in the world... Walls!

    What makes my game unique?

    In a world gone crazy over the US Elections we felt that the world needed this game. The mobile marketplace is saturated with political games that are lackluster at best so we thought why not make a game based on every-bodies favorite politician - Donald Trump and do it properly. We created a game that combined a beautiful and unique art style with a simple and addictive mechanic. We wove layers of satire and humor into the game and it's marketing material based on the circus that has been the US Election this year. The game features Mexicans, Global Warming Scientists, Jet-pack strapped politicians and of course Walls! Go help Donald Jrump make the galaxy great again! "Well designed and engaging" - Mashable "Bound to become your new favorite game" - Huffington Post "Best thing to come out of the US election" - News.com.au "Like flappy bird but much more creative" - Recode

    Why could my game win an award?

    Because everyone knows that 'Donald Jrump' makes the best mobile games, he knows mobile games. Jrump is tremendous, it's yuuuuge!
