This App Store game looks a lot like Super Mario Bros.

A new game is up on the App Store, and it’s drawing a lot of comparisons to Super Mario Bros – for understandable reasons.

In Super Jump World, players take on the role of a leprechaun and “jump’n’run” through four levels. Each level has a different theme, though they all look quite similar to what you can find in Super Mario Bros. There are eight enemies, leaderboards, and even achievements.

The creator’s description of the game is as follows:

“Help the main character Lep to jump and run through the beautiful worlds of Super Jump World. Be careful! There are many angry monsters. They want to stop Lep in each world. If you collect a cloverleaf little Lep grows up to a bigger one. But you are not secure with big Lep. An angry bee could hit him and he gets back to little Lep. An easy and smooth control makes it very funny and to jump or run.”

The author also says that Super Jump World is “inspired by a 2D classic game.” I’m sure anyone would be able to guess which title he’s referring to!

You can find out more about Super Jump World here. It’s free for now, as it should be. You have to wonder if/when Nintendo will take action against it…
