Xjump – reimplementation of the classic Xjump game

Xjump is an arcade platform game where you keep climbing while the tower beneath you collapses.

This version is a modern SDL reimplementation of the classic Xjump, created to keep the game practical to build and run on current Linux systems while staying close to the feel of the original.

This is free and open source software.
