Mr. Run And Jump (now available for Steam, the Epic Game Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and the current Atari VCS console) is another of a growing genre of challenge platformers, where progress is measured by the screen, and careful yet quick movements are required to get through a gauntlet of danger.
