Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Griffin, a teenage anti‑hero with the power to tear open rifts in time and space. Jump across an infinite world, hunting the ruthless Paladins who destroyed his family. The game expands the Jumper movie universe with a gritty backstory, fast‑paced combat, and sci‑fi environments that let you teleport, slash, and explore a visually striking landscape.

Take the reins of Starshot, the star‑juggling hero of the Space Circus, as you battle the rival Virtua Circus and its evil director Wolfgang von Ravel. Travel across four exotic planets, recruit quirky characters, and use your ability to walk, run, swim, fly and shoot controllable stars to overcome challenges. The story unfolds with a high‑stakes loan from the Intergalactic Bank, a daring weapons‑expo heist, and a final showdown that determines the fate of the circus. With rich 3D graphics and over 300 cosmical characters, this single‑player platform adventure blends comedy, sci‑fi action, and classic platforming fun.
