Happy New Year, everyone. Some good news to share with you all:

Jumpala now has a release date! You'll be able to download the full version of the game on January 19th, 2021! Wishlist now so that you can get it as soon as it's released.

I'm also excited to announce that Jumpala has a publisher! The awesome folks over at Versus Evil (The Banner Saga, Pillars of Eternity, Cardpocalypse) have jumped on board to help make Jumpala a success.

We're nearing the finish line! Can't wait to see you all on the 19th.

It's time for another Jumpala update! This is a pretty big one, and probably one of the last as Jumpala gets closer to its release. Here's what's new:

Solo Rankings
You can now see how well you did in Solo Mode! Once you beat all your opponents, stay tuned after the credits to get your ranking.
The full version of the game will record your best stats for each difficulty.
Three New Maps
Baron Industries - Be careful, there are a lot of dangerous lasers in this one.
Crystal Cavern - Watch out for falling icicles!
Arata City - This stage is narrower and a little higher than the others.
Introducing Jenny
These stages can be a bit tougher than other stages like Proving Grounds or Twilight Canyon. One bit of feedback I've received is that some of the harder stages can be overwhelming and a little discouraging for new players (looking at you, Onclave Labs). To alleviate this, harder stages now have to be purchased with Jenny. You earn Jenny by completing matches, either in solo mode, local versus, or online. Beating solo mode rewards bonus Jenny, as does winning an online match.

Jenny is only available in the full version.

Private Lobbies
The full version of the game now supports private matches! You can invite your Steam friends or send them a lobby code.
