Jumpala is a “fast-paced action puzzler with heavy fighting game vibes” created by the same developer (Yokereba) as The Vigil Files. I helped Yokereba with art direction, game mechanics, and a whole lot of test playing. I’ve gotten pretty good.

Like The Vigil Files, it’s been great watching Jumpala develop from start to finish. The initial game idea came from one of my childhood games, Spryjinx, but its grown to be so much more than that.

To celebrate the launch of the game, I drew an illustration of Jumpala’s Lola. It was my first time drawing a character on my tablet, and I learned a lot from the experience. Hands are hard to draw.

Jumpala is ten bucks on Steam.
