One Jump Closer – Free Puzzle-Platformer With Explosive Tension

One Jump Closer ratchets up the platforming tension with a wicked twist-every jump brings you closer to detonation. If you're hooked on punishing platformers, bomb-defusal challenges, or clever takes on the “one more try” formula, this free indie delivers a perfect shot of adrenaline.

This 2D puzzle-platformer puts you in the shoes of a captive forced to navigate hazard-strewn obstacle courses, all while a bomb strapped to your body ticks down with every jump. You'll need to plan movement, conserve jumps, and adapt on the fly as the levels get meaner and the macabre clown host gets nastier. The game’s blend of arcade reflexes and puzzle logic rewards thoughtful experimentation and is ideal for speedrunners, challenge seekers, and anyone who likes their platformers with a shot of dark humor. With easy-to-learn controls and a focus on precise movement, One Jump Closer is endlessly replayable and perfect for gamers who enjoy training, theorycrafting, or pushing boundaries with trainers.
