Oh, this one is going to be so fun. Not that I'll do very good at it. 1 life, its trouble enough getting far on all lives. Should be enjoyable though.

I'm already giving this a go and this is going to be damn interesting. The last 30 mins has been full of "FUCK!", "Motherfucker!", and "Piece of shit!".

I just want to add that this game is balls tough. I've made it to the 3rd level on 1 life a couple of times, but man does it get killer after that.

Nice to see Jon playing in the contest

Yes, Bump 'n' jump is wicked hard. And we know we're exaggerating with the 1-life rule on this title. We wanted a short and sweet game for this week.

Updated: 102,570 .

I managed that by the 3rd level, so I'm hoping to get quite a bit higher tomorrow if I can get back to the 5th stage.

Cool, Bump N' Jump i couldn't pass this up.
It's hard to avoid crashing into other cars in this version.

Gave this game a few hours, so far my best score (first time reaching stage 6 on one life and totally forgot about the split roads):

Score upon 1st death 99,950

Hahaha...that's funny. I can relate though. Don't know how many times I pressed reset with a curse word or few. Especially once I found that I could get 5000 points landing on island grass, so much of my time was spent on trying to perfect that, that I'd be hitting reset like every half minute or less much of the time until I finally was able to land on every island to the goal and sometimes landing on that too, with me averaging upper 30000 to lower 40000 points just in the first stage alone now. I refuse to do less, one mess up, one miss and hit reset and try again til I get it right.

^Hahaha, I know exactly what you mean. I spent probably 5-6 hours getting that island jump down pat. I had to take the last 2 days off because I was getting so frustrated with not getting a certain amount of points on the first stage.

I'm getting better, but had to give it a break because I was getting annoyed!

Do you guys get the 5000 bonus each time you land on the island? I seem to only get it like half the time.

I've tried the island bonus, but crash every time I try to get it, so I just avoid it and pray that I get a bit further in the game on one life. It also works with the walls in level 2, but it's much harder to pull off, in my opinion. I've crashed on the wall a couple of times and gotten the 5000 point bonus.

I'm getting pretty good at hitting the islands on level one, but probably more often than not I don't get the bonus. Out the window with this game!!

Yeah, this game is pretty frustrating with one life. Seems like every time I get a good run going, I end up with a cheap death (like getting bumped into a wall or missing a jump by just a little bit).
