Jump Kids

Jump Kids is a cooperative platform game released in 1993 by Comad. Two players control baby characters as they navigate side-scrolling levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The gameplay revolves around running, jumping, and slapping opponents to progress through each stage while collecting various items scattered throughout the environment. Players utilize an eight-way joystick for movement and two buttons for actions within this run-and-jump experience. The game’s development involved a team of programmers, designers, and hardware engineers at Comad Industry Company, Limited. Notably, Jump Kids shares significant code with Data East's earlier title, Tumble Pop, suggesting it was built upon an existing foundation rather than being entirely original. Featuring processors from Motorola and Zilog alongside an OKI6295 sound chip, this game offers a simple but engaging cooperative arcade experience for two players.
