In Squishy’s Leap, every platform is a victory, and every boost racks up points. Precision is key as you soar through levels, avoiding a host of frenemies and one very angry ex-girlfriend. One wrong move and its game over but one perfect leap could land you at #1 on the Global Leaderboard.
JVM arcade is a small studio of 3 people. Between us however there is probably more than 75 years worth of experience. Having a focused line of sight is such a great feeling. Critical decisions are made on the spot and the room for iteration makes the project flourish exponentially.
